5. Caution

  1. Being close to a metal object will interfere with the signal of BLE beacon card, causing the signal to be weakened.
  2. Note the distance between DSBC-120 beacon card and the receiver to guarantee the accuracy of receiving.
  1. Keep DSBC-120 beacon card away from corrosive objects.

6. Reference Usage

6.1. Working with BLE Gateways

1) BLE Beacon card broadcasts the data.

2) Bluetooth Gateway then gets the boradcasted data and sends the data to Cloud via Wi-Fi or LTE once per second.

6.2. Working with Mobile Phones

1) The BLE beacon card will always want to send a broadcast packet nearby at a certain frequency.

2) A Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone can receive the beacon information and parse the data through the APP.

7.2. BLE Gateway Configiration

Bluetooth gateways can read and parse the broadcast packet data of the BLE beacon cards, and set the parameters of the beacon in the connection state. The setting content is the same as the Android/IOS SDK.

7.3. BLE AOA

The product will running for BLE AoA protocol, the key parameters as below:

  • Mode: Connectionless Mode,PHY in 1M PHY,
  • Interval : 100ms,
  • UUID16=0x184A。
  • CTE_TYPE = AOA_CTE
  • CTE_LEN = 160uS,
  • CTE_COUNT = 1

Otherwise, the BLE beacon card has a built-in accelerometer for active logic. After the Buetooth beacon card is left for more than 10min, the product enters sleep mode and will be awakened when motion is detected again.
