1 Introduction
This document describes user interaction and features with the SCS-001 prototype.
1.1 Intended Audience
This intended audience of this document is any persons involved in use or testing of the SCS-001 prototypes.
1.2 FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: Modifications to this product will void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
1.3 Mobile Category Device
This device can be used as a mobile category device, it’s antenna must be installed to provide at least a
minimum separation distance of 20 cm from all persons.

2 Connecting using BLE
2.1 Getting Rigado Toolbox Application
The Rigado Toolbox application can be downloaded from the iTunes app store.
2.2 Connecting using Rigado Toolbox
To connect to the SCS-001 using the RigadoToolbox application, first open the application. In the list of
peripherals at the Home page you should see a device labelled RigCom (see figure 1). Select the RigCom device.
The app will connect to the device. Once a successful connection is made you will be taken to the BMDware
Configuration page (see Figure 1.)

3 Beacon BLE Characteristics
The Beacon configuration service has six characteristics. For application development you will need the beacon
configuration service UUID and the characteristic UUIDs for each of the individual characteristics (see table 1).

Table 1: Beacon Configuration UUIDs
3.1 UUID Characteristic (b7717580-b82a-4502-bd90-7f703fb51324)
The UUID characteristic can be used to modify the beacon UUID. To modify the UUID select the UUID
characteristic from the BMDware Configuration page and select the UUID text box. Once you have selected the
text box an editor will appear. The editor can be used to modify the beacon UUID (see Figure 2).

3.2 Major Number Characteristic (b7717580-b82a-4502-bd90-7f703fb61324)
The major number is used to identify the beacon. The major number characteristic can be used to modify the major
number. To modify the Major number select the major number characteristic, select the major number text box,
and enter a new major number (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Major Number editor page
The information to modify the Major Number using another application can be found in Table 3.

3.4 Advertising Interval Characteristic (b7717580-b82a-4502-bd90-7f703fb81324)
The advertising interval characteristic is used to modify the timing of the beacon in milliseconds. To change the
advertising interval select the Advertising Interval characteristic, press the interval text box, and enter a new
advertising interval (see Figure 5). The maximum advertising interval is 4000ms (4 seconds).

3.5 TX Power Characteristic (b7717580-b82a-4502-bd90-7f703fb91324)
The Beacon TX power can be used to change the broadcasting. To change the TX power select the TX power
characteristic and select a TX power from the Select TX Power Level page (see Figure 6). For SCS-001 the TX
power selection is limited to -4 dBm and below because the amplifier adds +24dB of gain.

3.6 Enable Characteristic (b7717580-b82a-4502-bd90-7f703fba1324)
The enable characteristic is used to enable the beacon service to advertise. To enable or disable to the beacon
select use the slide button. Once enabled, the beacon will start advertising after you exit the BMDware
Configuration page. In the case of another application once the Beacon configuration service is disconnected, the
beacon will being advertising. Figure 7 shows examples of the beacon enable characteristic.

Figure 8: Beacon Enable Characteristic information
After enabling the beacon in the beacon configuration service, exit the beacon configuration service to start beacon
advertisement. In the BMDware Home page you will now see a new “Unknown” device advertising. This
unknown device will be the beacon (non-connectable).
