Shenzhen Minew Technologies D90 Digital Broadcating Device Instruction Manual

Shenzhen Minew Technologies D90 Digital Broadcasting Device

PREPARATION

1. Activate the beacon device as the datasheet correctly;
2. An iOS 7.0+ / Android 4.3+ smart device with BLE 4.0;
3. Download the BeaconSET+ app from the Apple store or Google Paly;

ENTER INTO CONFIGURATION MODE

1. Run BeaconSET+, there are total of 37 devices detected around the smartphone immediately, see image 2;
2. You can click “Edit Filter” to quickly search out a beacon device that you want to configure by Name, MAC ID, and RSSI value, see image 3;
3. For example: Slide the RSSI slide bar to set the RSSI value at -33 dBm as the filter, then see image 4; there is only one beacon and its MAC address is ac233f24a933 which we want to configure.
4. The beacon (MAC ID: ac233f24a933) can advertise total 6 different frame types iBeacon, Eddystone (UID, URL, TLM), Acc. and Info simultaneously. But now the beacon advertises only URL, iBeacon, and Info frame.
5. The data Info includes the battery level and MAC address. It is not allowed to change by the user;
6. The Beacon is connectable only when the ROUND DOT changed to green color, see above image 4; if Beacon has been set to disconnectable, the ROUND DOT keeps in red color;
7. Click the Beacon when it’s connectable, and then input the password as image 5. If it is correct, the Beacon enters into configuration mode, see image 6;

CONFIGURATION MODE

Settings Definition

• SLOT: Each Beacon has 6 configurable SLOTs; it is from SLOT1 to SLOT6.
• Connectable: Each Beacon has 2 different advertising statuses, connectable and disconnectable.

Only when the advertising status is connectable, the Beacon is configurable. But the disconnectable advertising saves about 20% more power consumption than connectable advertising. After completing the configuration, we strongly recommend setting the Beacon disconnect not only to lower battery power consumption but also to better security performance.

Update firmware (OTA: over-the-air):

• It’s not allowed to load unknown firmware into tag beacon;
• If there is a bug occurred, unfortunately, the manufacturer is responsible to release the latest revised firmware to help users to recover the bug by “Update firmware”;

Reset factory: It will recover the beacon to factory settings and ignore all changes;

Poweroff: The Beacon will stop advertising and enter into sleeping mode after using “Poweroff”. But it can be activated again by pushing the button on the beacon. As Beacon doesn’t have a push-button, we are strongly opposed to using “Poweroff”.

Modify password: Change to a new password by “Modify password”.

Remove password: Removing the password if someone forgot it and then set a new password by “Add password”.

Manufacture info & Feature info: It’s not changeable by users.

SLOT Configuration

Each SLOT is independent and configurable. The following parameters can be configured. The users can configure each SLOT’s Frame Type, Adv. Content, Base params and Trigger by themselves via BeaconSET+.
Frame Type
Actually, the frame type is the format of the advertising data packet. Each Beacon has below total 7 different frame types: UID, iBeacon, URL, Acc. Sensor, TLM, Info and NO DATA, see image 8;
NO DATA
If setting a SLOT’s frame type to NO DATA, It means that the SLOT no data to be advertised. The Beacon will STOP advertising that SLOT.
iBeacon
The UUID, major and minor values provide the identifying information for the iBeacon.
UID
Unique and static ID consists of 10-byte Namespace and 6-byte Instance component. The UID is required if the user want to register Beacon into Google dashboard.
URL
A compressed encoding format (max. 17 bytes) fits more within the limited advertisement packet. The URL must be started with a security http (HTPPS).
TLM
Beacon status data that is useful for beacon fleet maintenance, and powers Google Proximity Beacon API’s diagnostics endpoint. TLM should be interleaved with an identifying frame such as Eddystone-UID or Eddystone-URL. It’s not allowed to configure TLM by BeaconSET+.
Acc. Sensor / H &T Sensor / Light Sensor / Pressure Sensor
The beacon with Acc. Sensor will be waken-up and start advertising accelerometer data only when an object is moving or after an object has fallen. The beacon detects the environment temperature and humidity by H&T sensor and start advertising the data of temperature and humidity. The beacon detects the changes of pressure by the Pressure sensor and advertises pressure data.
Info
It includes beacon name, MAC address and battery level but isn’t configurable. For better monitoring and distinguishing beacons, we strongly recommend keeping a SLOT with Info frame.
Advertising Data Format (Info)
The advertising data packet of Info is defined by MINEW. Here below is the completed data format and definition as below table.

Base params

Here below are the default factory settings of Base params for the Beacon. Each SLOT has an independent and configurable Adv. Interval, RSSI and Radio Power.

Frame Type| Adv. Interval (ms)| RSSI@1m (dBm)| RSSI@0m (dBm)| Radio Power (dBm)
---|---|---|---|---
iBeacon| 900| -59| —| 0
UID| 2000| —| -24| 0
URL| 2000| —| -24| 0
TLM| 4000| —| -24| 0
Info| 4000| —| -24| -8

• Adv. Interval: Advertising interval;
  RSSI: Measured power, it’s used for the calibration and calculating relative distance.

• Radio Power: Transmission power;

Trigger:
The trigger function will be activated and configured ONLY when the beacon device has a push button or loaded the sensor such as accelerometer, temperature, light and others.

Trigger Settings

1. Select the SLOT1 (iBeacon) and Enable “Trigger”, see images 13 & 14;
2. Click “Button double-tap” and then select “Button double-tap” as image 14;
3. Enable “Always advertise” as image 13;
4. Choose the “Adv interval” and “Radio Txpower” as image 13 (under “Always advertise);
5. Click the “SAVE” button at the top corner of the screen, all new settings take effect immediately;

After completing above step 1 to 5, the beacon device will advertise iBeacon at SLOT1 with pre-setting interval and transmission power only when double- clicking the push button. For Beacon (accelerometer), each SLOT can be triggered by the accelerometer. For example, if the SLOT1 has been configured the Trigger, E8 starts to advertise SLOT1 ONLY WHEN an object is moving or after an object has fallen.

DEPLOYMENT NOTICE

1. For better security performance and lower battery power consumption, we strongly recommend making the beacon work at DISCONNECTABLE status;
2. The less activated SLOT, the more battery power saving;
3. The smaller transmission power, the more battery power saving;
4. The larger the advertising interval, the more battery power saving;
5. The higher the deployment position is, the larger the advertising range;
6. The bigger the transmission power, the larger the advertising range;
