In this article, you will learn how you can replace a beacon using the React Mobile Hospitality application on your smart device.
Users with Admin and Installer roles can replace beacons. To change user permissions, refer to the How to Add, Edit and Remove Users article for assistance.
Steps to Replace a Beacon:
- Login to the React Mobile Hospitality application from a smart device as an Admin or Installer.
- Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device settings and enabled on the React Mobile Hospitality Application before continuing.
- From the home page, navigate to the "SCANNER" tab at the bottom of the screen. By default, you will see the filter for "All Beacons."
- From the "All Beacons" view, find and select the beacon you would like to replace.
- In the example below, the "Example" beacon is the beacon we will be replacing.
- If a beacon is not broadcasting anymore or missing, it will not have a "-XX" value in the bubble next to it.
-
- Once you select the beacon you would like to replace, you will see the registration details of the beacon. Check the details and confirm you have selected the beacon you would like to replace.
- Bring one unregistered beacon near your smart device and tap "REPLACE BEACON". The app will begin scanning for nearby unregistered beacons.
- The beacon closest to your smart device will appear on top of the list and will report a high RSSI value (or signal strength) in the teal bubble next to the Beacon ID. Tap on the nearest beacon in your list (as indicated in the examples below, at -32 signal strength).
- After selecting the device, you will receive a prompt that the beacon you selected from the list (E5:5B:4D:2F:3B:6C) will replace the existing beacon (F8:9D:59:6D:C4:3D). Tap REPLACE and the new beacon will automatically important all the registration details from the previous beacon and the previous beacon will become unregistered.
- The final step is to install the new beacon in the same location where the previous beacon was using high bondage adhesive tape (ex. under the sink, inside the closet, next to fire alarm).
