BLE
The NVITE Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) reader complies with the Bluetooth Core specification 4.1. The NVITE reader
implements the Bluetooth peripheral role (connectable beacon).
Mobile-apps can scan for nearby readers and can send their ID-number securely to the reader.
The NVITE reader firmware implements the Nedap Mobile ID protocol.
The Mobile ID protocol uses secure authentication based upon AES128-bit encryption with diversified keys.
Separate Mobile ID documentation is available on request.
Enable
Enable BLE. This automatically starts the Bluetooth advertising.
Default Bluetooth device name
Enable to have the default Bluetooth device name compliant with the ranging format (f CC P NN).
This may be required by the mobile-app for ranging purposes.
The default Bluetooth device name will be 6 characters, for example "n08S4E".
f
Reader function.
CC TX output power (default 08) - ranging fine tune slider value (default 0).
P
Ranging profile; S = short range.
NN Reader identification sequence number.
Please be aware that iOS stores the reader’s device name in the cache memory of the phone. After changing the read
range, and thus changing the device name, it may take some time before the mobile-app recognizes the update.
iPhones only refresh this Bluetooth name after the phone has been connected to the reader for a couple of times. When
the name is not refreshed automatically, the NRF-Connect app might help to refresh the Bluetooth name in the cache
memory of the phone.
The NRF-Connect app (available for both iOS and Android devices) is found to be a very useful tool during configuration
of the NVITE reader. The app gives an overview of all advertising Bluetooth devices nearby and allows to manually
connect and disconnect with a certain Bluetooth device (in order to refresh its cache name).
