Factory sleep mode is a default mode that the device uses. In this mode, all components are shut-down as much as possible and MCU is put into the deepest possible sleep state. The current draw is reduced to a minimum so this is the preferred mode to use when the tag is not used to maximize battery life. To exit this mode a reed switch is used. If it’s active for 3-10 seconds, the factory sleep mode will be deactivated and MCU will enter Advertising mode. In advertising mode, the tag will broadcast information about itself in Bluetooth advertising packets. By default, the MikroTik advertisement is sent once every 5 seconds. This can be changed in the Configuration mode. Configuration mode can only be entered from advertising mode by applying a magnetic field to the same reed switch that was used for exiting factory sleep. When the reed switch is active for 5-10 seconds configuration mode will be entered. Otherwise, MCU will go back into advertising mode.
When the device is put into configuration mode for the first time, it is configured the following way:
| Configuration name | Setting/value |
|---|---|
| Advertising packet format | MikroTik |
| Advertising Interval | 5.0 seconds |
| Tilt trigger | 60° |
| Accelerometer trigger | 156.25 mg |
| Low noise filter | enabled |
| Tx Power | 0 dBm |
Using the reed switch means putting the magnet over the device for a specific time (depending on the mode you wish the device to be in).

Preparation for the tag configuration
To "wake up" the tag from the factory sleep mode, the reed switch should be activated for about 3-10 seconds (activating the reed switch = putting a magnet over the left-edge side of the tag)..
As soon as the device "wakes up"Once the device is recognized, it will show up in the "MikroTik Beacon Manager" list. You can select the tag to save it to the list of "beaconed" devices or configure it by pressing the "CONFIG ONLY" button:
