All rights reserved. Yanzi is a brand of Altacogni AB Layout and general design recommendations While designing the PCB using Yanzi stamp module make sure to keep all the layers beneath the 12mm of 2.4GHz antenna area free of any planes or traces. Avoid routing on the first (top) layer of the PCB laying under the Yanzi stamp PCB area. It is important to keep ground planes and any isolated metal parts (such as screws) away from both 2.4GHz and sub-GHz antennas. Antenna facing outwards and facing away from wall is preferred while designing the product. It is always a good idea to keep the polarization of antenna equal between the sensor products and the access point or gateway for best performance although it is not a must.

Yanzi is a brand of Altacogni AB Host Product verification and testing The host product must be designed to be integrated with Yanzi system using Yanzi proprietary firmware stack (IEEE 802.15.4 + IPV6). The label on the host product must include the 8-digit alpha-numeric EUI64 printed on the Yanzi stamp in the form of a plain text and a QR code. For functional testing of the host product, one will require a Yanzi Gateway connected to an active internet connection using an ethernet port on the gateway. The testing of the new host product/sensors can be done using Yanzi Lifecycle portal on live.yanzi.cloud . Using life cycle tool one can discover and pair the host product/sensors to the gateway using the unique EUI64 code engraved/adhered on Yanzi stamp module. Upon sccessful pairing the host sensor should start transferring data with the Yanzi Gatway each activity cycle (usually every 2 minutes).
