CHAPTER 3 MPACT TOOLBOX
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
The MPact Toolbox is an iPad application designed for beacon installation and maintenance at the area beacons are deployed.
The iPad is carried within the deployment area to scan a beacon’s barcode when the beacon is first installed to add its position
attributes and validate existing beacons are working as expected. A toolbox equipped iPad reads beacon installations from the
MPact Server, which consists of beacon positions, IDs and other attributes. Users can optionally add, modify or delete beacons
and beacon positions from a store map displayed on the installer (essentially adding beacons by scanning a barcode and
flashing beacons as their beacons are recognized).
All beacon updates are stored on the MPact Server. The MPact Toolbox mediates between an MPact Server and an MPact
bea
con. The toolbox can pull configuration and firmware information from the MPact Server and update a beacon as
deployment objectives require. The toolbox records beacon placements and updates the server. The toolbox supports three
beaconing beacon modes: Battery Save, iBeacon and MPact.
To install the MPact Toolbox application, re
gister the iPad with the TestFlight Web site. Once installed, download the latest
MPact Server configurations to the MPact Toolbox application on the iPad.
