Description
This app has been created to assist you in scanning, configuring, and modifying tags. By using this app, you can easily locate and adjust the settings of your Minew tags, thereby maximizing their functionality. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to connect to tags and make necessary changes to their settings.

¶ CONFIGURATION MODE
CONFIGURATION MODE is the method by which you can establish a connection to your asset tag. It allows you to access and view all information related to your tags, as well as conduct searches for specific tags.
- Run BeaconSET+, there will be online devices detected around smartphone immediately.
- You can click “Edit Filter” to quickly search out a beacon device which you want to configure by Name, MAC ID and RSSI value.
- For example: Slide the RSSI slide bar to set the RSSI value at -33 dBm as the filter, then see Pic 3. There is only one beacon and its MAC address is ac233f24a933 which we want to configure.
3.1 The beacon (MAC ID: ac233f24a933) can advertise a total 6 different frame types iBeacon, Eddystone (UID, URL, TLM), Acc. and Info simultaneously. But now the beacon advertises only URL, iBeacon and Info frame.
3.2 The data Info includes the battery level and MAC address. It is not allowed to change by user.
4. The Beacon is connectable only when the ROUND DOT changes to green color. If Beacon has been set to disconnectable, the ROUND DOT keepsin red color.
5. Click the Beacon when it’s connectable, and then input the password as Pic 4. If it is correct, the Beacon enters configuration mode.
¶ SLOT Configuration
Each SLOT is independent and configurable. The following parameters can be configured. The users can configure each SLOT’s Frame Type, Adv. Content, Base params and Trigger by themselves via BeaconSET+.
Frame Type Actually, the frame type is the format of advertising data packet. Each Beacon has below total 7 different frame types: UID, iBeacon, URL, Acc. Sensor, TLM, Info and NO DATA.
- NO DATA If setting a SLOT’s frame type to NO DATA, It means that SLOT no data to be advertised. The Beacon will STOP advertising that SLOT.
- iBeacon The UUID, major and minor values provide the identifying information for the iBeacon.
- UID Unique and static ID consists of 10-byte Namespace and 6-byte Instance component. The UID is required if the user want to register Beacon into Google dashboard.
- URL A compressed encoding format (max. 17 bytes) fits more within the limited advertisement packet. The URL must be started with a security http (HTPPS).
- TLM Beacon status data that is useful for beacon fleet maintenance, and powers Google Proximity Beacon API's diagnostics endpoint. TLM should be interleaved with an identifying frame such as Eddystone-UID or Eddystone-URL. It’s not allowed to configure TLM by BeaconSET+.
- Acc. Sensor / H&T Sensor / Light Sensor / Pressure Sensor The beacon with Acc. Sensor will be waken-up and start advertising accelerometer data only when an object is moving or after an object has fallen. The beacon detects the environment temperature and humidity by H&T sensor and start advertising the data of temperature and humidity. The beacon detects the changes of pressure by Pressure sensor and advertises pressure data.
- Info It includes beacon name, MAC address and battery level but isn’t configurable. For better monitor and distinguish beacons, we strongly recommend keeping a SLOT with Info frame.
¶ Base params
Here below are the default factory settings of Base params for the Beacon. Each SLOT has an independent and configurable Adv. Interval, RSSI and Radio Power. We recommend not changing any parameters if it is not necessary.
| Frame Type | Adv. Interval | RSSI@1m (dBm) | RSSI@1m (dBm) | Radio Power (dBm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iBeacon | 900 | -77 | — | 0 |
| UID | 2000 | — | -24 | 0 |
| URL | 2000 | — | -24 | 0 |
| TLM | 4000 | — | -24 | 0 |
| Info | 4000 | — | -24 | -8 |
