4. Mobile Credential Tab
4.1 128-bit ID
The 128-bit ID is used to identify the reader of a specific client. The 128-bit ID is part of the Bluetooth advertisement and is used by a mobile application to filter the reader of a specific client from other clients using rf IDEAS readers.
4.2 Major
The major number identifies a subset of a clients’ readers within a large group, such as printers in a department of a company. This edit box allows setting the one byte major number.
4.3 Minor
The minor number identifies a specific client’s reader, such a specific printer in a department of a company. This edit box allows setting the one byte minor number.
4.4 Tx Power
This drop down box sets the transmit power in the range of -26dBm to +3dBm.
4.5 Result Message
A client can set the message that is displayed on the mobile device at the end of a BLE exchange. The default value is “Access valid”. This edit box allows setting a message up to sixteen characters long.
4.6 Read Config Button

5.1.3 Advertising Max Interval
This drop down box sets the Advertising Max Interval in the range of 20ms to 10 seconds.
5.1.4 Random Address
This selection sets the beacon address to a randomly generated value. This value will be different each time the reader is powered.
5.1.5 Public Address
This selection sets the beacon address to a fixed value assigned at the factory to each Bluetooth reader. Each reader has a different address.
Note: This feature is not available in RDR-30xx1EKU and RDR-30xx2EKU model readers.
5.1.6 Read Config Button
This button reads all Bluetooth configurations from the reader and updates the values displayed by the WAVE ID Mobile Configurator.

The Eddystone-URL frame broadcasts a URL using a compressed encoding format in order to fit more within the limited advertisement packet.
Once decoded, the URL can be used by any client with access to the internet. For example, if an Eddystone-URL beacon were to broadcast the URL http://www.rfideas.com, then any client that received this packet could choose to visit that URL. The Eddystone-URL frame forms the backbone of the Physical Web an effort to enable frictionless discovery of web content relating to one’s surroundings.
