3.1 Beacon Line Starterkit

The simplicity of the Beacon Line network concept makes it easy for you to implement large wireless Bluetooth® Low Energy ideas with a high degree of technical flexibility and modular expansion.

Included in delivery:

  1. 1x Ethernet Gateway
  2. 9x Anchor
  3. 3x Bluetooth® Low Energy Beacon
  4. 1x POE (Power over Ethernet Power supply)
  5. 10x Cat5-cable (5 meter length) Beacon Line Starterkit

We connect the anchors to the gateway. The gateway is connected to the POE port of the POE power supply. We connect the LAN port to our switch (up to 1000 MBit/s).

The gateway gets its IP address dynamically from the DHCP server and can be reached via the IP address or host name (BLGD-MAC). The MAC address is mapped on the housing of the gateway (e.g. BLGD-8C8E7601441E). To communicate with the gateway a “.local” is appended to the hostname (MAC address), so in this example:

BLGD-8C8E7601441E.local
