BlueBeacon Manager App allows to configure up to 8 slots for the different packet frames, with the following features: - up to 4 slots for Eddystone frame packets: URL, UID, TLM (at present, app does not allows to configure EID-frame slots and register beacon on Google back-end); - up to 4 slots for additional packets, including iBeacon, Quuppa and Sensors, a proprietary frame-packet for sensor data advertising; Each slot is independently configurable with its own transmission power and advertising interval.

Additional functionalities are: - setting of connectable/non-connectable mode; - setting of anonymous mode; - setting of a time interval for advertising (with start/stop hour); - setting operating mode depending on beacon position (only for BlueBeacon Tag); - resetting to factory configuration; - change of password.
