1. INDOOR LOCATION BEACON OVERVIEW
Innovative Wireless Technologies’ FAP5030-030 Indoor Location Beacon (ILB) is a PoE powered device
containing a Wi-Fi AP and a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) beacon that can be used to provide enhanced
location support for indoor facilities. An internal configuration webpage allows the Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth® parameters to be configured from a laptop/tablet/phone.

Revised: 11/24/2020 6650-20-0014, Rev. A
Approval: Page 4 of 13
increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected; or
consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
2.1.2 FCC Allowable Limits for General RF Exposure
CAUTION! To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
general RF exposure, always adhere to the following guidelines:
The antennas used for the ILB transmitters must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
The ILB must be installed 20 cm or more from any personnel in order to comply with FCC
exposure requirements.

Figure 2 - Bottom View of ILB
The following is an explanation of the IMN inputs and outputs as shown in Figure 1:
PoE INPUT: The ILB is powered by PoE. The power input to the ILB is an RJ45 connector on the back
side of the enclosure.
Status LED:The ILB contains a single red/green LED that indicates the status of the device (power
on, identification).
5. CONFIGURING THE ILB
Prior to installation, the ILB may be configured using a laptop/tablet/phone and the ILB’s internal
Configuration Webpage. The default configuration settings are shown in Figures 5 through 8 below.
The device must be powered ON to be configured.
With the device powered on:
1. Click on the wireless network icon in the bottom corner of the laptop screen (or search for
wireless devices on tablet/phone) to view available Wi-Fi networks.
2. Search for the ILB device to be configured. The ILB will appear in the list of wireless networks as
ILBeacon-XXXX where ‘XXXX’ is the four-digit node ID listed on the label of the device. Each ILB
device has a unique ID.

3. Connect to the ILB. The default network security key is Beacon123. This passphrase may be
changed as part of the configuration process using the ILB Configuration Webpage.
4. When the laptop is successfully connected to the ILB, open the device’s internal Configuration
Webpage by typing the following into a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge
recommended):
https://192.168.3.1
If a ‘Certificate Error’ message appears, select the option to continue on to the webpage. Figure
4 below shows an example of the Certificate Error page(s) that appear when using Microsoft
Edge as a browser.

Figure 4 - Opening the Configuration Webpage
The ILB Configuration Webpage will open and Login information is requested.
The default Login information for each ILB device is as follows:
username: admin
password: Beacon123

Revised: 11/24/2020 6650-20-0014, Rev. A
Approval: Page 9 of 13
After a successful log-in, the MAIN screen of the Configuration Webpage will appear (Figure 5):
Figure 5 - Main page of the Configuration Webpage (LOCATION tab)
The four tabs on the Configuration Webpage can be used to switch between the different configuration
options. The initial page that appears after logging in is the LOCATION tab. On this screen, the user may
enter a text description of the physical location of each installed ILB device. To add a location
description, type the desired text in the Location box and press the Update button.
The LOCATION tab also includes the option to change the Login password of the device. To change the
password, type a new password into the Password box. Re-type the new password again in the Verify
box and press the Change Password button.
The LOCATION screen also includes an Identify button. Pressing the Identify button will cause the LED
on the connected ILB to blink GREEN for 45 seconds. This feature can be used to quickly identify and
verify which ILB device is being configured if there are a number of devices located or installed in the
same area.
Selecting the WI-FI AP tab opens the window shown in Figure 6. The WI-FI AP screen includes
information necessary to configure the Wi-Fi beacon.

6. INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! TRAINED PERSONNEL MUST PROFESSIONALLY INSTALL THE ILB.
6.1 SITE SURVEY
Conduct a survey to determine the appropriate sites to install the ILBs.
6.2 MOUNTING AN ILB
The ILB may be mounted to a wall or ceiling tile using four ‘blind’mounting holes. The mounting holes
are accessed by lifting the flaps on the enclosure lid as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9 - ILB Mounting holes
An optional aluminum mounting bracket is available for use with the ILB.
Note: The ILB should not be installed in plenum spaces above ceiling tiles.
7. OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 POWERING THE ILB
The ILB is automatically powered ON when a PoE input cable is plugged into the RJ45 connector on the
back of the device. The ILB does not have an ON/OFF switch. Disconnecting the PoE input will remove
power from the device.
7.2 STATUS LEDS
The status of the ILB’s connection to power and the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth network may be monitored by
observing the blink pattern of the indicator LED mounted on the outside of the enclosure:
Solid RED: Device booting when initially powered ON
Solid GREEN: Power on, normal beacon operation
Blinking GREEN: Used to identify the device during configuration (see Section X.X)
7.3 CHANGING THE COFIGURATION OF AN ILB
The configuration of the ILB may be changed using the internal Configuration Webpage described in
Section 5 above. Follow the instructions is Section 5 for connecting to the ILB and opening the
Webpage.
8. WARRANTY INFORMATION
Never disassemble the ILB. Doing so will void your warranty. If an ILB is damaged, do not use it.
