Validation

After a Beacon Server is installed, it should attempt to report into the StifleR Server. This can be validated by going into the StifleR Dashboard, under Devices - StifleR server, select Beacons.

Prior to a Beacon being used, you must complete the configuration by following the instructions on this page: Configuring a Beacon Server.
