MPact Location & Analytics Hardware Installation Guide28 MN-002947-012.11 Initializing a GE-MB5000-01-WR HubA GE-MB5000-01-WR (or 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.To provide the hub its initial and scanning configurations:1. Initialize the GE-MB5000-01-WR hub.The hub scans for its initial configuration and displays a Wifi error stating the hub has not been configured.The hub has a fixed SSID of mpact_init and a preset password of mpact123.When unable to provision itself the hub connects to 192.168.100.1 (a fixed location) and downloads its initial configuration file (badge_config.json).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.

The badge should be charged fully before its first use. The badge will automatically update its firmware and configuration profile if connected to the WiFi 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 2-34 MPACT-MB6000-CHRGR Each slot has spring contacts that mate with the contacts on the badge. Badges have battery chargers and fuel gauges 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.
MPact Location & Analytics Hardware Installation Guide34 MN-002947-01The 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).While in the charger, the badge could conduct a software or configuration update if required and a status update.
