一、What is an Electronic Shelf Label solution?
2.4GHz Electronic Shelf Label solution consists of three components, including an Electronic Shelf
Label management system (ESL Software), a wireless Base Station/AP and an Electronic Shelf Label.
Integrate the Electronic Shelf Label management system with the POS system/ERP system/CRM
system/MCR system of the supermarket, the information of the customer database is sent to the
Electronic Shelf Label management system, the Electronic Shelf Label management system will send
the information to the wireless base station through LAN and the wireless base station will send the
content to be displayed to the Electronic Shelf Label through the 2.4GHz communication frequency to
realize the commodify information in real time update.
ESL Solution Benefits

➢ POE : Support POE technology to simplify wiring and save costs.
➢ Encrypt on-the-fly: Automatically encrypt data in real time to ensure data security.
3.2.3 Working principle and status of the base station:
◼ Working principle:
1. A fter Base Station power on, the ARM processor to start working, initialize the network chip and
wireless chip
2. A fter initialization, Base Station enters the network receiving state and waits for data from the
server
3. When the server has tag data, it sends the data to Base Station through the network.
4. B ase Station receives the data and sends it to the corresponding tag by wireless
◼ Base station status：
1. P ower on: plug in the power supply and network cable, the base station screen display "----"
2. O nline: computer running ESL software, the base station screen display "H-01"
FHSS: Improve the anti-interference of data transmission through frequency hopping spread
➢
3. Communicating: software sending data and the base station screen display "C--01"
4. Communication completed: the base station screen display changes from "C--01" back to "H-
01"
3.2.4 Base station control range:
◼ Connection method: TCP/IP(Private Protocol)
◼ Control area: Circle with a radius of 13-15m (43-50 ft) (Area 530-706m² (5705-7599ft²))
