¶ Description
Tracking is performed using a combination of Minew gateways and wearable devices or asset tags.
Minew gateways are mounted on the walls or ceiling to receive data from BLE-devices. The data is then being sent to the Navigine server via Wi-Fi or a cable connection.
¶ Hardware setup
To start configuring Minew gateways first connect to it via Wi-Fi. The SSID name is “GW-mac_address” of the gateway.
Then go to the Minew web interface and connect to the gateway at 192.168.99.1
Make sure that firmware version is 4.0.4 or higher. Download firmware 4.0.4 to upgrade.
Next, choose preferred connection type: Ethernet or Wi-Fi (instruction below describes Ethernet connection).
¶ Configuring sending data from the gateway
1) Make sure that your network allows sending data https://rtls.navigine.com/

Upload Interval - 1 second
Data format - BINARY-LONG

¶ Add asset tags
Wearable devices and asset tags can look like a card, bracelet, watches etc.
- Go to the Asset Tracking and log in using credentials of the previously created account.
2. Go to Settings - Groups and create a group. This step is required to combine tags used for the same purpose.
3. Then go to Objects section of the left menu and add wearable devices or asset tags (card, bracelet, etc).
Title - object name that will be displayed in the system
Group - group that will contain the asset tag
Object type – for moving objects select Dynamic
Device type – choose New
Device ID – mac address of the device.
5. If everything was done correctly, you will see tracked devices in the Online tracking tab. It can take up to 5 minutes for the changes to apply.
