If you change the transmit power level and attempt to apply the changes, the RadBeacon app will offer to update your Measured Power and Calibrated Power settings to the general default values corresponding to the transmit power level you have selected. The slider displays a range of transmit power values based on the beacon hardware type you are configuring. You can modify the transmit power level by moving the slider control in the TRANSMIT POWER section. It is important to realize the overall advertisement rate, as higher advertising rates have the greatest impact on battery life for battery-powered beacons. If you then enabled AltBeacon, the advertisement rate is then 20Hz and so on. So if you have only iBeacon enabled, and an advertisement rate of 10Hz, then the beacon's overall advertisement rate is 10Hz. The effective overall advertisement rate is therefore the number of advertisement types enabled multiplied by the advertising rate. The value shown is the advertisement rate for EACH advertisement type. The slider displays a value of 1-10Hz, or 1-10 advertisements per second. You can modify the advertising rate by moving the slider control in the ADVERTISING RATE section. (Note that due to the manner in which the Eddystone URL is encoded and stored, it is difficult to predict whether a URL will fit in the available advertisement payload space, so you should always verify your URL advertisements after saving.) In this section, specific the following values With the Eddystone URL advertisement type enabled, you can make changes to the Eddystone URL advertised values under the section labeled EDDYSTONE URL. Setting the Eddystone URL Advertisement Values If you need to determine the Measured Power value for your beacon, follow the steps outlined in the article, How do I calibrate a beacon's measured power?) 41 dBm is the characteristic signal loss over 1 meter. (A rule of thumb is to determine the iBeacon/AltBeacon measured power value and then add 41dBm to it. Calibrated Power - The transmit power as measured zero (0) meters away from the beacon.Instance ID - A 6-byte hexadecimal unit identifier.Namespace ID - A 10-byte hexadecimal organizational identifier.With the Eddystone UID advertisement type enabled, you can make changes to the Eddystone UID advertised values under the section labeled EDDYSTONE UID. Setting the Eddystone UID Advertisement Values To save these and other changes to the beacon, tap on the Actions menu and select the Apply action to submit your changes to the beacon along with a valid PIN. (If you need to determine the Measured Power value for your beacon, follow the steps outlined in the article, How do I calibrate a beacon's measured power?) Measured Power - The transmit power as measured one (1) meter away from the beacon.Minor - A 2-byte decimal unit identifier for your beacon.Major - A 2-byte decimal group identifier for your beacon.UUID - A 16-byte hexadecimal organizational identifier for your beacon.With the iBeacon or AltBeacon advertisement type enabled, you can make changes to the iBeacon and AltBeacon advertised values under the section labeled IBEACON/ALTBEACON. Setting the iBeacon and AltBeacon Advertisement Values Select the beacon proximity advertisement types that you want to have transmitted by this beacon device and apply your changes along with a valid PIN. You can change the beacon name by modifying the string value in the beacon text input field and applying your changes along with a valid PIN.įrom the beacon detail settings view, under Type, you will find a set of switches for each beacon advertisement type, including The beacon name is not transmitted as part of the proximity beacon advertisements and is only readable when the beacon is in configuration mode by a valid configuration tool like the RadBeacon configuration app. The beacon name is a simple string value that exists as a convenience for recognizing the beacon when you attempt to configure it in the future. It is highly recommended to update your PIN to ensure that only authorized individuals may make changes to your beacon's configuration. For beacon models and versions that support an eight (8) digit PIN, the default PIN is '00000000'. You may change any or all of the modifiable settings, press Apply, and submit a valid PIN to update the settings for the RadBeacon.įor beacon models and versions that support a four (4) digit PIN, the default PIN is '0000'. Once you've selected a beacon from the list of nearby configurable beacons, you will be shown the detailed Settings view.
