5. Plug the power supply into an A/C outlet and plug the other end of USB cable into the power supply.

Figure 29 Hub with Power Connected

Initializing

The factory default programming is set to allow compliant operation across global regulatory domains. When the hub is turned on, the unit will use the default “world safe” settings until or unless it receives

802.11d probes identifying the country of operation. The unit will automatically reconfigure for enhanced

performance in that country, otherwise the factory settings remain.

The badge and hub product are tested and receive EMC regulatory certifications on a per country basis. Zebra provides a list of all approved countries where the units are able to be sold to end-customers and used by end-users. By design, the operation of the units is controlled by firmware in accordance with the approved regulatory domains (i.e., approved countries). The initial production release product (Rev. A) has a default country domain with somewhat reduced RF performance to ensure compliance with most domains globally. The units will initially operate in this “world safe” default scanning for Wi-Fi access point

802.11d country information. The units will either set the country operation to the 802.11d information (if an

approved country), or if not and approved country, the units will continue to operate in the “world safe” default mode. The unit never allows use of 2.4 GHz channels 12 and 13.

The hub scans for Bluetooth Smart beacon emissions. The hub filters based on its scanning configuration for known devices and forwards scan results to its defined administration (posting) server.

The hub ships with a default software load, but without its configuration. When the hub is initialized for the first time, it conducts an internal scan diagnostic but is unable to properly provision itself. Consequently, the hub needs to be provisioned with both an initial configuration and a scanning configuration before it can filter beacons and forward relevant scanning information.

Hardware Specifications and Installation

Figure 30 IoT Bootstrapping

Figure 31 IoT Bridge Operation as Deployed

Hardware Specifications and Installation

To provide the hub its initial and scanning configurations:

1. Initialize the hub. The hub scans for its initial configuration. The hub has a fixed SSID of mpact_init and a preset WPA2 password of mpact123. When unable to provision itself the hub connects to

192.168.1.100 (a fixed location) and downloads its initial configuration file (badge_config.json).

NOTE: The 192.168.1.100 location must be reachable from the hub’s connected Access Point mpact_init SSID to receive its required badge_config.json file.

The hub obtains its badge_config.json file and self-configures its initial configuration. Once completed, the hub connects to its posting server to obtain its scanning configuration. The scanning configuration is required to define the hub’s scan interval and beacon profile determining how beacon data is forwarded, based on the beacon’s UUID and Major values, and posted to the server for administration.

2. If you encounter issues with the setup of the hub, there’s several file restoration options available.

• Reboot the badge - Press and hold button 2 (see Figure 33) between 10–20 seconds, then release.

LED 1 will blink slowly twice to confirm. Any in-process configuration activity will need to be re-started.

• Erase to factory default configuration and reboot - Press and hold button 2 between 30–40 seconds,

then release. LED 1 will blink slowly twice to confirm. The deletion of the initial configuration could be warranted if the configuration was not successfully applied on the first attempt. Once reverted to factory configuration, the initial config and scanning config can be re-applied.

• Shutdown the badge - Press and hold button 2 between 20–30 seconds, then release. LEDs will

blink 5 times to confirm the badge shutdown. Use this process when brining a deployed badge off-line.

3. For additional information about the configuration process and JSON files, contact your product line manager.

Cleaning

Use alcohol to clean this product. When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based disinfectants to clean the product, always follow the manufacturers recommended instructions regarding the use of gloves during application and to remove the residue afterwards with a damp cloth to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the scanner. Please note that due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite the metal surfaces on the product are prone to oxidation (corrosion) when exposed to this disinfectant in the liquid form and should be removed promptly after cleaning with a damp cloth.

Use pre-moistened wipes to clean the unit. Do not allow liquid cleaners to pool or remain on the unit.

Hardware Specifications and Installation

Cradle Charger: MPACT-MB6000-CHRGR

Initial Charging and Use

When a brand new badge is received it should be inserted into the badge cradle before its initial use. The badge should be charged fully before its first use. The badge will automatically update its firmware and configuration profile if connected to the Wi-Fi network and the gateway (if there is a profile update on the server).

The badge will blink green while charging and solid green when fully charged.

The badge cradle can charge one to ten badges at a time. The AC powered charger is a wall or desk mounted cradle platform providing 5Vdc to each badge placed in individual charging slots. The charger feeds electric current through battery inside the badge. The cell inside retains the energy passing through them.

Figure 36 Charger

Each slot has spring contacts that mate with the contacts on the badge. Badges have battery chargers and fuel gages built into each device so the charger is a power supply platform and no battery knowledge exists in the charger itself, everything to charge and protect a lithium Ion battery is built into the badge itself.

The charger's primary function is providing 5Vdc at 900 mA to each badge holder re-charge badge batteries. The charger holds badges when not in use. When badges are in the charger, they begin to charge using the 5Vdc supplied in the charger base. If there is sufficient charge detected, the badge uses the charger as a holder (without charging).

1. Unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and remove the DC power cable from the cradle.

2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.

3. Rub the cotton portion of the applicator along the connector pins. Slowly move the applicator

back-and-forth on the connector to the other. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector. All sides of the connector should also be rubbed with the cotton tipped applicator.

4. Spray compressed air in the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle about ½ inch away from the surface.

5. Ensure there is no lint left by the cotton tipped applicator, remove any lint if found.

6. If grease or other dirt can be found on other areas of the cradle, use a lint free cloth and alcohol to

remove.

7. Allow at least 10–30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry before applying power to cradle. If the temperature is low and the humidity is high, a longer drying time is required. Warm temperatures and dry humidity require less drying time.
