1. Enter the raspberry web UI
1.1 Make sure when entering the IP address you enter the port 8585, ie 192.168.1.2:8585
1.2 Enter username and password, if prompted, by default it is admin : 123
1.3 Go to BLE page and turn ON the scanning by toggling the switch at the top right
1.3.1 The list will populate with the found BLE peripherals
1.3.1.1 If you have configured a beacon name, or have a pre-defined one, you can use the search field to easily locate your beacons in the list
1.3.1.2 Find the beacon of interest from the list and add it to the 'Stored BLE Devices' list by pressing on the green button in the row that looks like a handshake
1.3.1.3 Please note, by adding the beacon to the 'Stored BLE Devices' list, beacon information will be sent to the EMS server defined on the EMS page
1.3.2 In the 'Stored BLE Devices' list you can define BLE Name to easier identify the device, if it has not been assigned a friendly name yet, and assign a Distance 1.3.2.1 Please note, 'Distance Radius' restricts the distance, above which, the beacon information is not sent out to the EMS server
1.3.2.2 Example, Distance Radius is set to 3 meters, and beacon distance is calculated to be 3.5 meters,
beacon information is not sent out, where if the calculated distance was 2.95 meters, it would be sent out to the EMS server
1.3.2.3 Please be AWARE, RadBeacon Dot working on Eddystone protocol displays very high distance on LV Control,
about 4-5 times higher, thus set the distance accordingly accounting for the distance factor,
ie if you would like beacon information to be sent out for 4 meters or less, set 25 meters
1.3.3 MAC address is displayed in the Stored BLE Devices list, for use later in LV Monitor (EMS)
1.3.4 Please note, you can program all the beacons on a single Raspberry system and then use 'Export to csv' and
'Import from csv' functionality on the BLE page to transfer beacon settings to any other LV Control Raspberry system
