+
* Authorized driving - keep track of who is driving your vehicle according to the NBL-2 ID they use to authenticate themselves.
−
* Private mode – this solution will allow your company car to be used by employees for personal purposes without violating the EU General Data Protection Regulations by masking all the personal data while vehicle is used in Private mode. Moreover, self-employed people can easily convert their own car into a business asset and ensure that the data provided (Example - distance traveled) is correct and shown only working hours' driven distance. Private/business mode can be easily switched by any of the NBL-2 buttons.

−
 
−
To set factory defaults and unpairing both buttons must be pressed for 5 seconds additionally button 1 (blue) must be pressed first. It is also factory/transport configuration.
 
−
 
−
Procedure:
 
−
# Press Button1 and hold
 
−
# Press Button2 and hold
 
−
# Keep the buttons pressed for 5 seconds
 
−
# The return to the factory settings will be signaledby flashing LED1 and LED2

'''4.    Paring'''
 
−
 
−
When device have defaults settings, reader waits for button then sends advertising packet for 50 seconds and blinks LEDs. First connection in this state is pairing process. Paring mode used: No Pin.
 
−
 
−
When the device is paired, the pairing mode is changed to pairing using the PIN. This prevents the pairing of additional devices

Introduction to the product

Description:

Netronix NBL-2 -  wireless RFID reader with Bluetooth.

NBL-2 is great in these use cases:

  • Authorized driving - keep track of who is driving your vehicle according to the NBL-2 ID they use to authenticate themselves.
  • Private mode – gives ability to mask all the personal data while vehicle is used in Private mode.


Functionality:

  • Unpaired reader (state after default reset) is waiting for button only
  • Reader scans for transponder detect or button press all time when is paired
  • In case above event occurs, reader sends advertising packet for Ta time in period Tb. Defaults: Ta=50sec, Tb=100ms
  • During advertising green led is flashing slowly. Reader stops blinking and advertising after disconnection.
  • Depending on configuration, read card ID can be present on advertising packet or/and on characteristic
  • Reader close connection and goes into low power 50 seconds after last data exchange.
  • Each LED can be controlled on GATT services
  • Reader can be on/off by long button press
  • Reader perform sensor measurement in period which is configurable
  • Button reacts immediately
  • Sensors configuration is set by GATT services.
  • Detecting the start and stopping the vehicle. This mode is active immediately after turn on the device.

NBL-2 configuration

1.    Updating NBL-2

First, you have to make sure that NBL-2 firmware version is updated to 1.3. Go to NBL Tools application -> Device -> Characteristic -> Device Information Service -> Firmware Revision String.


Note: If the firmware version is 1.1 or 1.0, it is not possible to update it.

If it is 1.2, then update NBL-2 according to these steps:

1.      Run NBL Tools application

2.      Update the firmware database (tap: Menager Firmware -> Update the database -> Start). Select NBL-2 and check 1.3 firmware version.

NBL conf4.jpg.jpg NBL conf5.jpg.jpg NBL conf6.jpg.jpg

3.      Back to main menu.

4.      Tap Device option.

NBL conf7.jpg.jpg

5.      Wake up the device - eg entering it into the bootloader mode.

6.      Select the device from the list (long press), then select Update firmware from the drop-down menu and press Start button.

NBL conf9.jpg.jpg NBL conf8.jpg.jpg

7.      Correct firmware update will be signaled by device start-up led message.

Device configuration

Setting up NBL-2 device to connect with FMB device. Go to Teltonika configurator -> Bluetooth 4.0 and set it up like it shown in this screenshot (MAC adress will depend on your particular NBL sensor):

Nbl2 1.png

Mandatory setting condition: Non Stop Scan Nbl2 2.png

Then go to I/O settings:

Make sure to enable BLE RFID #1 parameter (ID: 51740) and set operand to „On Change“.

Nbl2 3.png

Setting up Private/Business mode

Make sure to enable Private/Business mode in Trip/Odometer settings. It can be done using SMS commands or configurator. Not every device has these parameters visible in the configurator, therefore they should be configured via SMS commands. It can be done by sending  setparam SMS (how to send SMS commands: https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/FMB120_SMS/GPRS_Commands). Set it to High or Low priority (parameter ID: 11850). Enable triggers as NBL-1 Button1 or NBL-1 Button2 (parameter ID: 11811).

NBL conf12.jpg.png

Don't forget to set up data masking in Private mode if necessary.

Nbl2 4.png


Don‘t forget to save all these changes to device and you are ready to test NBL-2 sensor.

Testing NBL-2

Power up FMB device and start logging it in Terminal application. When RFID card is not enabled, BLE RFID #1 parameter (AVL ID: 451) will show a specific value. Example:

IO ID[451]: 0x0000000000000000

When RFID card is activated (card touched to NBL-2 and followed by two beeps) BLE RFID #1 parameter should look like this:

IO ID[451]: 0x0004193EF2576680


When Private/Business mode is enabled (Button1 or Button2 is pressed):

IO ID[451]: 0x0000000000000000

and

IO ID[391]: 1

NBL-2 packet

NBL-T data is being read via broadcast packets only. Packet structure is described below:
