iBeacon isaBLE (Bluetooth low energy)introduced by Apple's Bluetooth application, a
technologythat can be usedindoor positioning, to a certain extent,be used tocompensate for the
lackof poor locate for GPSin the room, butiBeaconis different fromGPSpositioning principle,
iBeaconpositioning iscalculatedbythe signal strengthreceived by the receivertodetermine the
distancebetween the two, iBeaconcontinuingtransmitting broadcastinformationwhich contains a
specificMACaddress, UUID, MAJOR, MINOR, etc., when the phonereceives theAPPYou
candeterminewhenthis broadcastinformationiBeaconlocation, but also by APPmobile clienttells the
serverhasaccess to theiBeaconbroadcast area. iBeaconsend tophone only broadcast
informationwithoutany other information,but according tobroadcastinformationsent byiBeacon , the
phone can downloadrequired information in relevant server.
1.2 iBeacon technical introduction
iBeacon broadcast frame using "announcement frame" (Advertising) to send the message, the
notice issued by a periodic frame with BLE devices (iBeacon), as long as the support BLE terminal
can receive the signal. Announcement frame payload portion, and writes the data defined by Apple.
iBeacon data mainly constituted by the four kinds of information, namely, UUID (Universal
Unique Identifier), Major, Minor, Measured Power. UUID is defined as ISO/IEC11578: 1996
standard 128-bit identifier. Major and Minor iBeacon set by the owner, is a 16-bit identifier. For
example, stores can use UUID name on behalf of the head office, Major representatives of regional
names, Minor behalf of a shop name Measured Power is iBeacon distance between the module and
the receiver reference received signal strength at 1 m. (RSSI: Received Singnal Strength Indicator) ,
the receiver of the reference RSSI based on the intensity of the received signal to the receiver
module and calculating iBeacon distance.
As Measured Power, because Apple's iOS is not careful in judging distance, while using only close
(Immidiate), 1m or less (Near), 1m or more (Far) from three kinds of states. When the distance less
than 1m, RSSI value is substantially proportional to the reduction, a more accurate distance, the
distance 1m in the above, the influence of the reflected waves and the like, RSSI but not
significantly reduce fluctuations. In other words, when you can not be inferred from the above 1m
apart, so simply judged Far.
Receiving end (mobile) hardware must be Bluetooth 4.0 or more, the software requires Android 4.3 or
above Apple IOS7.0 more.

2.3 Light bluemenu Introduction
Open the software Light blue, this time will automatically search out iBeacon device can also be
connected to the sliding screen refresh Equipment, open software displays the following
figure, this time in the menu Peripherals Nearby displayed at WGX ibeacon It means that the
search has been successful to the device, the device name is WELLCORE factory default
settings, the user can modify Refer to Section 2.9 to modify the method.
Clickbelow (Figure1) name of the deviceicon: WGX ibeacon, thenenter(Figure 2) interface, this
menuhasall the informationlistedibeacon, Battery Level (100%)thisindicates that the
currentcapacityof100% (3.0V),powerlow than 2.0Vthenshow 0%.
AA140611,Prefix AA means enter password,Click done when finished.now you canCheckModify
other parameters, It means the password is wrong if you can not see theparameters,Then need to
enter the right password.
Modify password(Figure 5 ): Only can modify the password when the right passwordhas been
put in. For example if you need to modify password to be : 123456,then youNeedEnter
AC123456, Prefix AC means modify password,the password can be6-20 letters.ClickDone when
finished.
UUID is a 16 digits (32characters)HEX value , the default value is (Figure 6): E2 C5 6D B5 DF FB 48
D2 B0 60 D0 F5 A7 10 96 E0,For example,modifyUUID to be: E2 C5 6D B5 DF FB 48 D2 B0 60
D0 F5 A7 10 96 E1,then write Corresponding values on “Write new value”(Figure 7),Clink Done
when finished.Meanwhile,,the new set UUID shows on the “Read again”,Notice:Thedevices can
not be searched out on Locate ibeacon after finished modify UUID, As Locate ibeacon can only
shows the Registered device,so you need to add a modified UUID device on the Options of
iBeacon Transmitter.
Major is 2digits(4characters)HEX value, default value is (Figure 9):0000,For example,modifyMajor to
be : 8810,Then write Corresponding values in the “Write new value”(Figure 10),Click Done when
finished. Meanwhile, the new set Major shows on the Read again(Figure11).
Minor is 2digits(4characters)HEX value, default value is (Figure 12):0000,For example, modify Minor to
be: 8811,Then write Corresponding values in the “Write new value”( Figure 13),Click Done when
finished.Meanwhile, the new set Minor shows on the Read again(Figure14).
Measured Power is a 1digit(2 characters)HEX value, default value is(Figure15):C5,Forexample,
modify Measured Power to be: C6,Then write Corresponding values in the Write new value(Figure
16), Click Done when finished.Meanwhile, the new set Measured Power shows on the Read
again(Figure17).Notice Measured Power is a ISSI when the distance is 1 meter.The default value
has been optimized,It’s not recommended modification.
Device Name is 1-15 characters (ASCII Code), the default device name is “WGX ibeacon”(Figure
18)Example:Modify the Device name is:“wellcore01”: Writing the corresponding values in the
place of "Write new value"(Figure 19). After finished Click“Done”to exit. At this time it
displayed a new Device Name in the“Read again”(Figure 20), because this value must be entered
in ASCII.So before modifying,click the top right corner of the“Hex”(Figure 18),And change to
the entry mode of“UTF-8”(Figure 19). Please pay attention:You should re-search the device again
then it can display the New Modified Device Name.
“Transmit Power”is a (2 characters) HEX value, the default value is 08(Figure 21),the transmit power
has 9 grades."01"represent -40db;"02"represent -30db; "03" represent -20db;"04"represent
+4db.Example:Modify the Transmit Power is 01: Writing the corresponding value in the place of "Write
new value"(Figure 22). After finished Click“Done”toexit.At this time it can display the new Transmit
Measured Power in the place of "Read again" (Figure 23). Please pay attention:You should modify
transmit power according to the actual needs,"09 --- +4db" corresponds to the maximum power, the
signal transmission distance can up to 100 meters, but the battery life will be relatively short.
"Broadcast Frequency"is a (2 characters) HEX value,the default value is 0A (Figure24).The
Broadcast Frequency can be regulated from 0.1second to 10 seconds: 01 (0.1 seconds); 05 (0.5
seconds)...... 0A (1s); 64 (10 seconds) Example:Modify the Broadcast Frequency is 0.5 seconds:
Writting the "05" in the place of "Write new value"(Figure 25). After finished Click “Done”to exit. At
this time it can display the new Broadcast Frequency in the place of "Read again" (Figure 26).
Please pay attention:You should modify the Broadcast Frequency according to the actual needs,the
Broadcast Frequency is small and power consumption is also small.The battery life will be relatively
increased.
"BT vendor ID " is a 2 byte (4 characters) HEX value, the default value is 004C (Figure28),This
ID by the Bluetooth Association of distribution companies, such as NORDICCorp is :0059, the Apple
Corp is :004C ,Example:Modify the BT vendor ID is 0059,Writting the "0059" in the place of "Write
new value"(Figure 29). After finished Click “Done”to exit. At this time it can display the new ID in
the place of "Read again" (Figure 30).

3.2 The Use-method of Locate iBeacon
1.Open the software “Locate ibeacon” (Figure 28).Click“LocateiBeacons”you can enter the next two
levels of menu (Figure29,30)At this time you can see all the informations of the
device.Such asUUID,Major ,Minor, ISSI,RangeInformation,etc.
2,If you had modified the present UUID:E2 C5 6D B5 DF FB 48 D2 B0 60 D0 F5 A7 10 96 E0 to E2
C5 6D B5 DF FB 48 D2 B0 60 D0 F5 A7 10 96 E5 At this time you can't recognize the current
device in the place of “Locate iBeacon”, you must add an identical device UUID (Figure
32) ,Writing “Name”and “UUID”,you needn't write the Major,Minor. After finished click
“SAVE”,(Figure 33) The interface indicates you has been set it successfully.
