Basic Testing

Congratulations! You've just bought the state-of-the-art system for Proximity Marketing. Your WLP-500 system is operational out-of-the-box. Just plug it to the power outlet, turn on your Bluetooth (set it to Visible to Everyone) and you should get an income message. In any case you can check the operational status of the WLP-500 through its LED indicators. The WLP-500 is pre-programmed to send out a .txt file containing its serial number. Please note that some mobile phones cannot parse .txt files (they do not have the Notepad Application installed) so you might not be able to open the received file. Don't worry at this stage since you'll be able to change the content sent by the unit afterwards.

Network Configuration

Each node comes out-of-the-box with a default network configuration. All our systems are configured for automatically access the internet and get their configuration through a DHCP service. If your network does not support DHCP you need to manually do the Network configuration process on your WLP-500.

N.B. If you want to restore the default network configuration all you have to do is to press, with a pencil, for more than 5 seconds the reset button placed close to the LED indicators.

Log in to the system

Open your web browser and enter the URL http://cms.mobitouchcube.com into the navigation tool bar, you'll be prompted the login page. The first account to login is given by Waymedia; you can then add more users or companies by yourself.

Node Registration

Node Activation is straightforward. Just type the code you found inside the WLP-500 package into the Activation Page form.

Configure your node for first usage

Once you have registered your node you can start configuring and using it. Trough the link Configure your nodes contained in the home page or trough the menu Nodes and zones you can access a page displaying a table that resumes your nodes status. Double clicking on a node produce the selected node settings to be displayed, the main settings you have to be aware of are related to the radio bluetooth, and are listed below:

  • Bluetooth name, the name prompted on users mobile phones when contacted
  • Black list time, the time the node will wait before contacting once again a device. The idea behind this feature is to put a mobile device into a blacklist after a success, reject, failure or notification message expiration occurred.
  • Coverage Area (Scheduling min RSSI), the maximum range of the node. It can be, approximately, between 5 meters (short) and 40 meters (far)

To edit the above settings just click on Edit this node, change the parameters according to your needs and click on Save.

Set up your first campaign

To setup a campaign click on the menu bar item Campaign and than on the Create a new campaign entry. All you have to do is fulfill the following fields:

  • Name, the name associated to the campaign
  • Description, a mnemonic description that will help to recognize a campaign within the CMS
  • Time schedule, the period of time you want the campaign to be executed
  • Content, the content dispatched by the node during the campaign. To upload one or more content click on the Contents Repository entry of the Campaigns menu bar section

Check the nodes you want to be assigned to the campaign and finally on Save changes.

Checking Everything

Now go back to the Node Manager and see if the node received the new configuration. Mobitouch Nodes periodically synchronize with the server (the synch. frequency is defined in the Edit Node window). After a while you should see the "Node Updated" column switch to "YES". The node should now start sending out the content associated with your campaign.


If everything is working correctly you just need to create your first campaign
