Improved Security
Add the brute force prevention measures of the password: Beacon would lock
automatically when the input password error consecutive for ten times. The default
lock time is half an hour, and the lock time can be dynamic configured up to ten
hours.
Add four ways to get the battery information
(1) Using the highest one of Minor value among the Beacon parameters, and
regarding the highest Minor value as the battery information. The battery
information is divided into 15 levels that is 1-15 (1-F).
(2) Using the highest two of Minor value among the Beacon parameters, and
regarding the highest two Minor value as the battery information. The battery
information is divided into 100 levels that is 1-100.
(3) Using the UUID, Major, Minor values of the Beacon parameters as the Key,
and broadcasting the key and the battery information to outside, which can be
received by scanning. The data can be broadcasted twice every 50 seconds.
(4) Using Beacon's own ID as the Key, and broadcasting the key and the battery
information to outside, which can be received by scanning. The data can be
broadcasted twice every 50 seconds.

Product Deta il s
Ankhmaway iB004-N is developed and produced based on BLE 4.0 and iB004
has the same housing as iB004. The iB004-N module is a circuit board, a built-in
battery holder with a coin battery and housing.
It can work as an independent system. CR2450 batteries supply power for iB004-N.
Three different kinds of working modes make best use of the battery power. When
work in sleep mode, for example, it can standby for 16 years, longer than the life of
the battery itself. For developers, we provide the Android and IOS SDK, and our
hardware interface developed completely by us, so the developers can develop it
without using SDK. For iBeacon agreement, all of the parameters can be

reconfigured, including Proximity UUID, Major, Minor and Power. In order to meet
different customers’needs, broadcast interval can also be set, which ranges from
100 ms to 10 s. Besides, hardware transmitted power can be configured,
configurable range is 4 dBm to -40 dBm. Low cost customizing housing would be
provided to potential customers.
Features
- Modes can be switched freely.
- Built-in Beacon firmware. Compatible with BLE.
- Built-in a coin battery (type: CR2450).
- Accurate digital RSSI. Excellent link budget (up to 97dB).
- Enable remote application, AES security coprocessor.
- High performance and low power, an available time for 5 years or more.
- Unique power management pattern, 16 years long standby time.
- Ultra wide range transmission power: 4dBm—-40dBm.
- Stable performance and controllable state.
- All hardware interface completely open. Developers do not need to rely on the
SDK for development. The requirement of hardware interface can be customized
(achieved a certain number).
- All the parameters can be configured (UUID, Major, Minor, Measured Power, TX
Power, etc.). Encrypted parameter, a password is needed when access to configure.
- Provide IOS and Android SDK.

How to Start Us i ng
Step 1: Download the latest version eBeacon software (version 1.5.0) from apple
store
Step 2: Open the Bluetooth and eBeacon software.
Step 3: Tapping the Beacon for three to five times on hard things. Beacon can be
connected at this moment when you heard buzzing.

Working Mode Deta il
There are three types working mode of Ankhmaway Beacon. The first is sleep
mode, the second is connectable mode, and the third is non-connectable mode.
When hit Beacon will enter the connection mode, which can last for 45 seconds.
When timeout Beacon will enter the connection mode or sleep mode according to
the different configuration. After the disconnection Beacon will enter the
connection mode, last for 45 seconds. It will return to sleep mode or disconnected
mode after 45 seconds.

Sleep Mode
When Beacon stays asleep, this mode will wait for being wake-up.
Connectable Mode
Beacon can only be connected in this mode, which needs triggered by tapping
Beacon, and it will last for 45 seconds. It means that Beacon can be connected in
45 seconds after being triggered. And Beacon will restore to sleep mode or non-
connectable mode if it is not connected in 45 seconds.
Non-ConnectableMode
Beacon can radio Beacon’s data properly in the non-connectable mode. Beacon
will begin to work normally when configured to this mode and it cannot be
connected. If you want connect it again, you must tap it five times, and it can be
connected within 45 seconds. Once timeout, it will restore to non-connectable
mode. If connection is needed, Beacon must be tapped again.
