CHAPTER 1 MPACT OVERVIEW
Ju
The Motorola Solutions MPact accurately locates Bluetooth® SMART 4.0 mobile client devices using distributed Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE) beacons and displays their location on a site’s floor plan. The beacon can be configured to be in one of three
modes; Battery Saving, iBeacon or MPact. Battery Saving mode is optimized to save battery life. The iBeacon mode is
configured to Apple’s iBeacon specification. MPact mode is a modified iBeacon mode that includes battery information.
-1
The Bluetooth radio is low energy, and its signal does not propagate very far. When a Bluetooth 4.0 smartphone or tablet nears
an MPact beacon, the device recognizes the beacon’s emission using its Bluetooth radio. Data from the beacon is forwarded
to a back-end MPact Server, which displays the location of each individual MPact beacon and the movement of the store’s
customer as they walk about the store shopping. This data is used for analysis at a later date.
2B
MPact is a real-time micro locationing system, designed and positioned for high-level accuracy in a wide range of deployment
scenarios. As an example, using MPact, retailers know the specific aisle a customer is located and the shelf they are currently
viewing. This allows administrators to track customers with standard real time locationing services (RTLS) and customize
products and services based on a customer’s movement and location. RTLS applications enable administrators to target
coupons and product information where they are most likely to be leveraged based on a customer's exact store location.
AF
This document provides a logical arrangement of processes that are essential to a successful MPact Server and Toolbox
deployment.

1.1.1 MPact Beacons
MPact beacons are small, battery powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. Beacons are strategically placed in retail
environments where customer locationing is wanted. Beacons can be placed on existing retail shelving or mechanically
secured. MPact beacons utilize a Bluetooth 4.0 radio that periodically emits a signal over the course of at least two years (the
battery’s maximum lifespan). Depleted beacon batteries are easily replaced. A beacon’s Bluetooth beacon contains the
beacon’s ID and remaining battery life of the beacon to assist the administrator in managing the deployment area.
NOTE: Battery information is not available if using iBeacon mode. This guide assumes
the beacon is in Battery Saving or MPact mode.
Beacon placements can be adjusted within a deployment floor plan, and depending on the mode selected, their battery life can
be tracked over time. Administrators can cursor over a beacon to assess the beacon’s remaining battery life. For more
information on Active View, refer to the Motorola Solutions MPact Locations & Analytics Server Reference Guide.
MPact Overview
1-3
1.1.2 MPact Server
14
The MPact Server, a location and analytics system can be installed on the Linux platform (Debian 7.3). It provides an interface
to install and maintain MPact beacon positions throughout a deployment site.
20
The MPact Server receives its beacon data from customer’s devices moving about a retail environment. The beacon identifier
(beacon’s ID) is compared to other pre-configured beacon identifiers mapped to a specific location (the UUID is used to
distinguish one store from another and is set within the MPact management UI). When a match occurs, the MPact Server can
either place the mobile customer within a store or place the mobile customer in close proximity to specific products. The
customer’s location, the beacon’s proximity to specific products and the beacon’s remaining battery life are all stored on the
MPact Server’s local database for administrative retrieval and analysis.
ne
The MPact Server application manages the MPact infrastructure and administrative framework. Use the MPact Server UI to
configure the site floor plans required for beacon placement and locationing, manage the association of beacons with specific
products, support beacon deployment and maintenance, and provide the visualization and analytics needed for both mobile
customer devices and beacons.
Ju
1.1.3 MPact Toolbox
1.1.4 MPact Client SDK
-1
The MPact Toolbox is an iPad application designed for easy beacon deployment and management. During a typical MPact
installation, an iPad is carried within a retail area to scan each beacon’s barcode during deployment. The handheld can also
validate existing beacon functionality at any time. Beacon deployments are administrated from the MPact Server (consisting
of beacon place holders and other attributes). An administrator user can add, modify or delete beacons and beacon place
holders from a site’s floor plan residing and displaying on the Installer. An administrator can add beacons or flash beacons as
their beacons are recognized. Beacon updates are stored on the MPact Server.
AF
2B
The MPact Client SDK is a client library and is available in both IOS and Android versions. The client SDK integrates directly
into a partner application and allows it to listen for BLE emissions. Upon receiving a beacon emission, the client library sends
relevant information to the MPact Server. If the client receives data from more than one beacon within a given interval, the
utilized beacon is based on a beacon selection algorithm distributed between the client and the server. Communication
between the client library and the MPact Server is secured through SSL.

capacity:
• 4 Cores
• 8GB RAM
20
• 200GB disk space
• Operating System (OS): Debian 7.3 64-bit GUI
If an older version of MPact is installed on the system, the older version must be uninstalled.
To uninstall the MPact Server:
ne
1. Open a terminal on the Debian 7.3 GUI.
2. Get into the root account using su root.
Ju
3. Make sure ls –l /bin/sh points to bash, not dash.

2. Modify the System Configuration parameters as required.
Figure 2-4 MPact Server - System Configuration
MPact Server Installation and Setup
2-5
3. Refer to the following table to modify the Beacon Configuration parameters:
Set the mode defining how beacons are emitted from MPact beacons. Supported modes
include Battery Saving, iBeacon and MPact.
The Battery Saving format, the default setting, is optimized for battery life by making the
beacon as small as possible (the beacon contains the minimal amount of information needed
to support MPact server functions). An MPact beacon contains the Motorola Solutions
registered manufacturing ID, beacon ID and a single byte representing the percentage of
battery life remaining (0-100%).
The iBeacon format was created by Apple for use in iOS devices (beginning with iOS version
7.0). There are three data fields Apple has made available to iOS applications, a UUID for
device identification, a Major component for device class and a Minor component for more
refined information like product category.
The Major field is a 2 byte field for identifying the device class. For example, the Major value
could be the same for each device on the first floor or a particular department store (0-65525).
The Minor field is a 2 byte field for more refined information, like product category (0-65535).
If the major or minor values display in red, they have been pre-set from the MPact Server and
do not require modification, they just need to be pushed to the device.
The MPact beacon format uses the iBeacon format, however, the Major and Minor fields have
been defined so MPact data can be conveyed as being compatible with the MPact server. No
input is required.
UUID (16 bytes)
16 byte hex character string that defines the purpose of the device. The UUID classification is
meant to be broad. For example, a UUID could identify a beacon was owned by Starbucks.
Beacon Power
(-23 dBm to O dBm)
Beaconing output power is set from -23 to 0 dBm.
Beacon Channel
(1 to 7)
Channel mask is set from 1-7 to apply an operation channel restriction to beacon
transmissions.
Beacon Interval
(100 ms to 1000 ms)
From 100ms to 1000ms in 100 ms increments for a beacon's emission. The default is 600ms.
The shorter the interval, the shorter the beacon's battery life. However, shorter intervals result
in increased accuracy.

Use the Categories functions to group product family items logically and better apply significance to the locationing, customer
traffic and dwell time data reported by the system. MPact events are tied to categories and category fields. When beacons are
skillfully deployed, they are associated with the physical location of a specific product category within a floor plan. As client
users move about the floor, their beacon visits and dwell times can be associated with the product categories associated with
the beacon’s location.

CHAPTER 3 MPACT TOOLBOX
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Ju
The MPact Toolbox is an iPad application designed for beacon installation and maintenance at the area beacons are deployed.
The iPad is carried within the deployment area to scan a beacon’s barcode when the beacon is first installed to add its position
attributes and validate existing beacons are working as expected. A toolbox equipped iPad reads beacon installations from the
MPact Server, which consists of beacon positions, IDs and other attributes. Users can optionally add, modify or delete beacons
and beacon positions from a store map displayed on the installer (essentially adding beacons by scanning a barcode and
flashing beacons as their beacons are recognized).
-1
All beacon updates are stored on the MPact Server. The MPact Toolbox mediates between an MPact Server and an MPact
beacon. The toolbox can pull configuration and firmware information from the MPact Server and update a beacon as
deployment objectives require. The toolbox records beacon placements and updates the server. The toolbox supports three
beaconing beacon modes: Battery Save, iBeacon and MPact.
2B
To install the MPact Toolbox application, register the iPad with the TestFlight Web site. Once installed, download the latest
MPact Server configurations to the MPact Toolbox application on the iPad.
