Blue ID
Blue ID description
The Blue ID works as a beacon, which can allow users to track and identify trucks, tippers and containers on industrial sites using Bluetooth. This BLE sensor constantly broadcasts its own ID, which can be detected by FMB devices, which have beacon support.

Using Blue ID with Teltonika FMB1 devices
1. Connect the device to the configurator and go to Bluetooth settings. Make sure that BT Radio is set to Enable (visible) or Enable (hidden)
2. Go to Beacon List, set Beacon Detection to All or Configured. When using configured, the beacon information will have to be entered in order for the device to be able to detect the beacon. Beacon information should be entered in this format:
iBeacon:
UUID:Major:Minor
Eddystone:
Namespace:Instance ID
An example can be seen in the figure below.
3. In order for the Blue ID beacon to start transmitting data, it will have to be turned on. To enable your BLE sensors or BLE Beacons use the Device Manager Mobile application.
Your phone or device that is used for configuring BLE Sensors or Beacons has to have NFC (configurations are written to a sensor or beacon through NFC).
Below you can find on how to Enable and configure ELA Coin ID or ELA Puck ID to send in the iBeacon format:
