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. The ILB contains a single red/green LED that indicates the status of the device (power on, identification). Status LED:
5. CONFIGURING THE ILB Prior to installation, the ILB may be configured using a laptop/tablet/phone and the ILBs 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. Revised: 11/24/2020 Approval:

6650-20-0014, Rev. A Page 12 of 13 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 POWERING THE ILB 7.1 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. STATUS LEDS 7.2 The status of the ILBs 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) CHANGING THE COFIGURATION OF AN ILB 7.3 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. Revised: 11/24/2020 Approval:
