6.1 Hardware configuration

Requirements
Operating System Windows 7 or higher
Communication Bluetooth® Low Energy (Line-to-Beacon)
Communication Serial (Line-to-Line)
Supported Devices Beacon Line Wifi (Gateway), Beacon Line Node (Observer)

Hardware installation

Connect all parts carefully.

The Beacon Line Node (observer) is black on top and the lower side orange. The Beacon Line Wifi (gateway) is black on top and the lower side is black too. Power supply is a passive PoE connection (like Ubiquiti).

  1. Connect the Beacon Line Nodes plug ´A´ goes into plug ´B´
  2. Beacon Line Wifi has to be powered with the delivered power plug.

Konfiguration

_Note: Please do not connect the last Node to any PC or other hardware. (Take a look at the warning on chapter 1.3 “warning”)

6.2 Software configuration

The Bline server can establish a connection with several Beacon Line Gateways or anchors. This can be set in the Bline-Server.yaml file.

An example (Bline-Server.yaml):

server:
    jwt: false                              # JSON Web Token
    basepath: /bline/v1                     # HTTP Prefix
    www: vue/dist
    httpport: 8080                          # Port Nummer für RESTful API
    scanport: 4000                          # Scan TCP Port Nummer
    errorport: 4001                         # Error Port Nummer
    grpcport: 50051                         # gRPC Port Nummer
    verbose: false                          # Verbose Flag
    monitor: true                           # Monitor Flag
    monitorinterval: 30                     # Monitoring Interval in Sekunden
lines:
    line1:                                  # Name des Gateways
        anchors: 1                          # Anzahl der Anker verbunden mit dem Gateway
        desciption: blgd-8c8e76011316       # Die Beschreibung der Line
        url: blgd-8c8e76011316:3001         # Die IP-Adresse oder Hostname vom Gateway
        enabled: true                       # Enabled Flag
        scan: true                          # Scan Flag
        broadcast: false                    # Broadcast Flag
    line2:
        anchors: 3
        desciption: blgd-8c8e76010477
        url: blgd-8c8e76010477:3001
        enabled: true
        scan: true
        broadcast: true
