Hardware configuration

Antennas

Before inserting the power supply to the BlipNode L2i make sure both

antennas are mounted securely.

If you are using other antennas than the ones delivered with

the product make sure they have SMA female connector, are

suitable for 2.4 GHz and have an impedance of 50 Ω.

Power supply

Use the power supply delivered with the product. Power supplies for a BlipNode L1 should not be

used.

If you need to use another power supply: It must be 5V DC, 3 W. 2.1 mm pin connector with plus in

middle.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Before attaching the BlipNode L2i to your PoE switch: Make sure the switch is PoE 802.3af 48 V

compliant.

Connecting the BlipNode

Connecting to your local server

Connecting the BlipNode L2i to your local server attach it to the LAN your server resides on.

A DHCP Server is required. Make sure the BlipNode L2i is able to communicate with the server on

UPD port 9033 (incoming port on server), and that the server can do outgoing TCP connections (you

may need to edit your firewall settings).

Connecting to your remote server

To connect the BlipNode L2i to your remote server you can send BT1 Address and BT2 Address to

your contact person at BLIP Systems with the IP address or host name of your remote server.

The BlipNode L2i will be created on a Blip Name Server (BNS) by BLIP Systems, wherefrom the

BlipNode L2i will get the host name to connect to. When created in the BNS the BlipNode L2i will

automatically connect to your remote server after 5 minutes on your LAN.

This requires that the BlipNode L2i is allowed to do outgoing connections on TCP port 9032.

LED blinking sequence

The four Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the side of the BlipNode L2i is used to describe the status of

the BlipNode L2i for 4 different functions:

Power (green)

Server (green)

Bluetooth (blue)

GPRS (yellow)

Changing Between Fixed and Dynamic IP Address

Via the BlipNode L2i’s built-in web server persistent settings can be read and changed.

This can be used to use a fixed IP address instead of retrieving IP address via DHCP (and vice versa).

By default the BlipNode will use DHCP.

Connect to the BlipNode:

In a web browser running on a PC on the same subnet as the BlipNode type in the IP address of the

BlipNode.

On the Windows platform you can also enter the MAC address. The MAC address is located on the

back of the BlipNode.

E.g. if the MAC address is 00:12:ca:01:03:6e you should type http://0012ca01036e/

Enable the telnet server:

By default you can only view the settings of the BlipNode.

When you want to change the settings you need to enable the Telnet-server of Bluetooth Module 1

(the lowest Bluetooth

Address) of the BlipNode

(via the BlipManager ->

BlipNode Settings ->

Advanced -> Telnet Server)

…

The BlipNode will reboot

after this change.

If the BlipNode is not

connected to a BlipServer it

will automatically enable the telnet server after being turned on for 5 minutes.

When the telnet server is enabled:

Press the Settings link on the web-page (connected to in the previous section), and type in the new

settings (e.g. static IP settings).

Press the Submit. The BlipNode will reboot with the new settings.

If it fails to start up with the new settings it will revert to the previous settings after approximately 5

minutes.

Remember to disable the telnet server (via BlipManager) after the changes are completed.

Revert to default settings:

If you are not able to connect to the BlipNode, or the BlipNode IP address does not match your

current network you can revert to factory defaults by:

Opening the BlipNode cover.

Apply power and wait one minute for the

BlipNode to start-up.

Locate the button inside the BlipNode

(to the right in the picture below).

Press and hold the button for

between 3 and 10 seconds.

After releasing the reset button,

watch the green Power LED and verify

that it stops flashing, as the BlipNode

restarts with the default persistent

settings.

Mounting a BlipNode for Content Push

Place the BlipNode where your target users:

Gather

Have dwell time

Stands still

Set the range of the BlipNode so that the reach of the external signage matches the range of the

BlipNode (when the user sees the poster/screen informing about the service –the phone prompts).

The range can be set both for the BlipNode itself (via the BlipManager, BlipNode Properties) –and

per message (via the BlipZones CMS).

Always use the Bluetooth module with the highest Bluetooth device address for inquiry (as this is

the module with the shortest range, adjustable to the shortest range –using the internal antenna).

-14 is approximately 5 meters range (phone and environment dependent)

0 is approximately 30 meters range (phone and environment dependent)

Mounting a BlipNode for Tracking

The BlipNodes should be placed where users pass by (e.g. by entrances).

As the tracking is zone based the number of BlipNodes determines the possible tracking resolution.

Connecting a BlipNode L2i via UMTS / HSDPA

networks

Prerequisites:

Huawei E220 USB modem

UMTS / HSDPA data account with a local (for the BlipNode) network supplier –preferably with an

unlimited usage plan (‘flat rate’)

Initial setup of USB modem and SIM card

Insert the SIM card in the USB modem and plug the modem into a Windows PC.

Follow the setup instructions from your broadband provider and use the modem to connect to the

internet. This way APN settings etc. will be written to the SIM card so the only configuration that is

needed in the BlipNode will a PIN code (if applied). It is also possible to enter the APN name in the

BlipNode settings –see below.

From the modem control application select a PIN code for the SIM card –you could also choose to

disable PIN code usage.

Entering PIN code and APN name in the BlipNode L2i

The PIN code for the SIM card is entered in the BlipNode L2i from the BlipNode’s built in web-page –

accessed as described previously in this guide.

On the settings page fill in the PIN code for the

SIM card.

If you disabled the PIN code from the USB

modem Control Application you do not have to

enter a PIN code for the SIM card in the

BlipNode L2i.

It is also possible to enter APN settings (APN,

User name and password) from the settings

page –please get the details from your

operator.

Connecting the BlipNode to the

internet using the modem

Disconnect the power from the BlipNode, insert

the modem in a USB port on the BlipNode L2i

and reconnect the power connector.

Page 8of 9

Within a short time the BlipNode L2i will connect to the internet through the

modem. You can see the connection status on the Yellow LED on the BlipNode L2i and on the

flashing LED on the USB modem as described in the USB modem User’s Manual (on the modem you

can e.g. see the connection speed)

Before returning a defect product

If the left most LED (green) is on, and no other LEDs are on or blinking it is very likely that the

processor-board inside the BlipNode has come loose of its connector (you can locate the processor

board as the board hanging above the main board).

Turn off the power and insert the board.

Contact BLIP Systems before returning any products.
