1 Document Overview
This document was created by LHP Telematics as a user guide for the Bluetooth Beacon Gateway
application.

1.1 Terms and Acronyms
Table 1 lists the definitions for the terms and acronyms that will be used in this guide.

TABLE 1: TERMS AND ACRONYMS
 Term/Acronym                Definition
 LHPT                        LHP Telematics, LLC
 TCU                         Telematics Control Unit
 BLE                         Bluetooth Low Energy
 Advertisement               Data broadcast by a beacon

1.2 Beacon Modes
The Bluetooth Beacons have two modes: Configuration and Asset Tracking.
   • Configuration Mode: The beacon is in a power-saving mode and will only send an
      advertisement when bumped.
   • Asset Tracking Mode: The beacon is configured for an asset and will send an advertisement
      every two seconds.

1.3 Beacon Reporting
Once a Bluetooth Beacon has been bumped, it begins sending advertisements every 2 seconds. The
advertisements will include a snapshot of attachment hours, which are accrued as whole hours
based on the amount of time the beacon detects vibration.

1.4 Application Modes
BACKGROUND SCANNING
When you begin scanning for beacons, the Beacon Gateway app will continue to scan even if you
switch apps, swipe the task away, or put your phone to sleep. It will only stop scanning if you open
the application menu and tell it to stop scanning.

CROWD SOURCING
The app is capable of scanning beacons that may not be in your customer account, which is called
crowd sourcing. While it is capable of scanning those beacons, only data from beacons that are in
your customer account will be visible to you. Data from beacons that are not registered to your
account will not appear in the app.

1.5 Application Download
To download the Beacon Gateway app, search for Beacon Gateway in the Google Play Store and
Apple App Store.




                                                                                            Page 4 of 23
