Validation

After a Beacon Server is installed, it should attempt to report in to the StifleR Server. This can be validated in the StifleR Dashboard, under Devices – StifleR Server, and selecting Beacons. The page will list all currently configured Beacon Servers and display online status, connection times, and measurement count.

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