Enabling Zen Beacon on ZenTrack Asset Trackers
๐ Enabling Zen Beacon (KKM Family) on ZenTrack Asset Trackers
This guide walks you through the process of enabling Zen Beacon KKM family BLE beacons to work with ZenTrack asset trackers. Once configured, the asset tracker will scan and forward BLE beacon signals to the ZenduOne platform for live tracking and monitoring.
โ Prerequisites
-
Active ZenTrack asset tracker installed and communicating on ZenduOne
-
Zen Beacon (KKM Family) device(s) powered on
-
Access to the DMS Portal for sending commands
-
Access to the ZenduOne Platform with appropriate permissions
๐ง Step-by-Step Instructions
1๏ธโฃ Send BLE Enable Command via DMS Portal
To enable BLE beacon scanning on the ZenTrack device, send the following command from the DMS Portal:
BLEBEACON,3#
๐ Note: This command enables the ZenTrack to start scanning for BLE beacon signals (KKM family format).
๐ท Refer to the image below for where to send the command in the DMS Portal:
2๏ธโฃ Add BLE Beacon on ZenduOne
Once BLE scanning is enabled:
-
Go to ZenduOne โ Assets โ BLE Beacons
-
Click on Add New BLE Beacon
Enter the required details:
-
Beacon ID / MAC Address
-
Name/Label
-
Beacon Type (Choose KKM)
-
-
Click Save
This step registers the beacon so that data from the ZenTrack tracker is properly associated with this asset.
3๏ธโฃ Wait for Data to Appear on ZenduOne
After the setup:
-
The ZenTrack device will start scanning and sending nearby BLE beacon data to ZenduOne
-
You can verify this under Assets โ BLE Beacons โ Live Data
-
It may take a few minutes for the data to appear depending on the device reporting interval and signal strength
๐งช Testing and Validation
-
Ensure that the beacon is powered and within range of the asset tracker
-
Confirm that the ZenTrack is online and recently reported
-
Check the last seen timestamp for the BLE beacon in ZenduOne
๐ Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| No beacon data showing | Confirm BLEBEACON,3# command was sent successfully |
| Device not scanning | Reboot tracker or re-send the command |
| Incorrect Beacon Info | Double-check MAC/ID and type in ZenduOne |
