# Beacon

To configure a **stationary BLE & LTE beacon**, various settings must be adjusted. These may also differ in detail depending on the scenario.

The following settings are configured after a successful connection:

## Connectable Advertising

To enable a faster connection, **TxPower** is set to _0_ and the **Interval** to _1_ s.

| Characteristic | value |
| --- | --- |
| TxPower | 0 |
| Interval | 1 |

## LTE Messaging

A beacon usually requires only a single report per day, which is why **LTE Periodic** is set to _1440_ (24h). Since the tag does not move, **LTE on Stop** is set to _0_. Likewise, Known WiFis is set to _0_.

| Characteristic | value |
| --- | --- |
| LTE Periodic | 1440 |
| LTE on Stop | 0 |
| Known WiFis | 0 |

## Custom Device Informations

To ensure the tag can be clearly identified as a stationary beacon, the prefix should be unique. By default, we recommend using _XBC-_ as the **Custom Device Name**.

| Characteristic | value |
| --- | --- |
| Custom Device Name | XBC- (as prefix) |

## TPM

After the tag has been successfully set up, it is registered with the _MAC-ID_ and _Tag Name_.
