Operation Thismodulehasindicatorfortransmissionandreceiving,when transmitting,theRedLED willblink; when one packet is received, the Blue LED will blink once. Both red and blue LED will light on in setting mode. It has several working modes: setting mode, Beacon mode, transparent transmission mode and sleeping mode. According to Beacon’s different protocol，it consists of iBeacon and AltBeacon. iBeacon is for iPhone ; AltBeacon is for Android.
