1. INDOOR LOCATION BEACON OVERVIEW Innovative Wireless Technologies’ FAP5030-030 Indoor Location Beacon (ILB) is a PoE powered device containing a Wi-Fi AP and a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) beacon that can be used to provide enhanced location support for indoor facilities. An internal configuration webpage allows the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® parameters to be configured from a laptop/tablet/phone. 2.
2.1.2 increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Types Transmit Power iBeacon, Eddystone 0 dBm ETHERNET 10/100 Mbps PoE IEEE 802.3a, class 0 RJ45 interface with PoE support 4. INDOOR LOCATION BEACON DESCRIPTION To begin using the ILB, review the information below covering the basic information you need to know to get started. 4.1 INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The Indoor Location Beacon is shown in Figures 1 and 2. Wi-Fi Node ID Status LED Figure 1 - Side View of ILB Revised: 11/24/2020 Approval: 6650-20-0014, Rev.
PoE Input Figure 2 - Bottom View of ILB The following is an explanation of the IMN inputs and outputs as shown in Figure 1: PoE INPUT: The ILB is powered by PoE. The power input to the ILB is an RJ45 connector on the back side of the enclosure. Status LED: The ILB contains a single red/green LED that indicates the status of the device (power on, identification). 5.
Figure 3 - Connecting to ILB with device ID 6883 (Wi-Fi) 3. Connect to the ILB. The default network security key is Beacon123. This passphrase may be changed as part of the configuration process using the ILB Configuration Webpage. 4. When the laptop is successfully connected to the ILB, open the device’s internal Configuration Webpage by typing the following into a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge recommended): https://192.168.3.
Figure 4 - Opening the Configuration Webpage The ILB Configuration Webpage will open and Login information is requested. The default Login information for each ILB device is as follows: username: admin password: Beacon123 Revised: 11/24/2020 Approval: 6650-20-0014, Rev.
After a successful log-in, the MAIN screen of the Configuration Webpage will appear (Figure 5): Figure 5 - Main page of the Configuration Webpage (LOCATION tab) The four tabs on the Configuration Webpage can be used to switch between the different configuration options. The initial page that appears after logging in is the LOCATION tab. On this screen, the user may enter a text description of the physical location of each installed ILB device.
Figure 6 – Wi-Fi AP Configuration Screen The last four digits of the SSID match the ID of the individual ILB device (labeled on enclosure). The Passphrase is the network security key used to connect to the device. The default Passphrase for each ILB is Beacon123. To change the SSID or Wi-Fi Passphrase, enter new values in the text box and press the Update button at the bottom of the screen. The update may take up to 30 seconds.
Figure 7 - BLE Beacon Configuration Screen The ILB’s BLE beacon is Disabled by default. To enable the Bluetooth beacon, select the desired Beacon type (iBeacon or Eddystone) and press the Update button at the bottom of the screen. If the beacon is not detected, power cycle the device. The Bluetooth UUID may be changed by entering a new value and pressing the Update button at the bottom of the screen. Note: The default UUID is the same for all ILBs.
Figure 8 - Ethernet Configuration Screen If the ILB is connected wirelessly to a laptop/tablet/phone for configuration, the IPv4 Address and Netmask boxes will indicate ‘None’ as in the figure above. 6. INSTALLATION IMPORTANT! TRAINED PERSONNEL MUST PROFESSIONALLY INSTALL THE ILB. 6.1 SITE SURVEY Conduct a survey to determine the appropriate sites to install the ILBs. 6.2 MOUNTING AN ILB The ILB may be mounted to a wall or ceiling tile using four ‘blind’ mounting holes.
Figure 9 - ILB Mounting holes An optional aluminum mounting bracket is available for use with the ILB. Note: The ILB should not be installed in plenum spaces above ceiling tiles. 7. OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 7.1 POWERING THE ILB The ILB is automatically powered ON when a PoE input cable is plugged into the RJ45 connector on the back of the device. The ILB does not have an ON/OFF switch. Disconnecting the PoE input will remove power from the device. 7.
