WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Boundary Zones

Use this page to define boundary zones for critical zones in your area.

You use boundary zones to monitor areas that are not fully covered by devices. For example, inner and outer boundary zones can be set up at the entrance and exit of areas that are not fully covered by devices. They provide position data on tags entering and leaving those areas. If an item is detected in the outer zone and then in the inner zone, and eventually disappears or cannot be located, Location Awareness Services for WebSphere® Premises Server assumes that the item is now within the area protected by the two zones. As a result of this function, inner and outer boundaries can be used to implement a light barrier.

Click Add to define a new boundary zone.

Add new boundary

Adding a new boundary definition consists of two steps: first, you define the zone that makes up the boundary, and then you define the zone within the boundary. The latter zone is called a related zone. Complete the following fields to create a new boundary zone.

Note:
  • Create all boundary zones and related zones in the Spatial Management Client before you define them here. In the Spatial Management Client, the term barrier zone is a synonym for a boundary zone.
  • Do not define a zone as a boundary zone of itself.
