1. From the Main Sidebar, hover over Advanced Options.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Beacons.
4. Click Create Beacon Profile.
5. Enter a Name for the beacon. We recommend using
a unique and specific name so that other users will understand what the beacon
is for.
6. Enter a Description for the beacon. We
recommend using a detailed description of what the beacon will be used for.
7. Choose the Usage of the beacon. There are two
options:
Sign-In Stations: used for signing in or out of
courses, centers or events. All beacon profiles for sign-in stations will share
the same region.
Silent Tracking: used to track traffic in an area. No
specific details are captured. Every beacon profile for silent tracking must
define its own region.
8. Click Active. The beacon profile must be
active in order for the profile to be assigned to a sign-in station.
9. Region ID: if using the beacon as a sign-in
station, do not edit. If using the beacon for silent tracking, either enter a
unique identifier or leave this blank for one to be automatically generated.
10. Major #: choose a number between 0 and 65535.
This number cannot match another
beacon’s profile.
11. Minor #: choose a number between 0 and 65535.
This number cannot match another beacon’s profile.
12. Password: if desired, enter a password for
this beacon profile. In order to associate this password and profile with the
beacon, you will first need to enter the default password (minew123). The
beacon’s password will then change to the password set here.
13. Transmission Power: choose the transmission range for
the beacon. This determines how close a user needs to be to the beacon to
connect to it. Larger transmission powers will affect battery life.
14. Broadcasting Interval: the default value is 900
milliseconds. Changing this can affect battery life.
15. Click Save.
