Introduction
Basestations are a crucial component of the Mero system, allowing for seamless communication between Mero beacons and devices. Setting up basestations correctly is essential for accurate data transmission. This article guides you through setting up new basestations.
Setting Up Basestations
1. Pre-Installation Considerations
Basestations have a communication range of up to 10 meters with accuracy down to 3 meters.
During installation, the Mero installation team will assist in identifying optimal locations for basestation placement.

2. Adding a Basestation
First, you can access the settings page by hitting the settings icon on the bottom left hand side
Navigate to the 'Basestations' tab on the settings page.
Click the orange “Add Basestation” button located on the right side.
3. Configuring Basestation Settings
Basestation ID: Enter the unique identifier for the basestation.
Basestation Nickname: Choose a name that reflects the basestation’s coverage area. For instance, if covering the west lobby, you might name it "West Lobby".
Model: Specify the basestation model. If unknown, enter "N/A".
Building & Area: Select the area of the building where the basestation will be installed.
Location: Determine the coverage area. Typically, a basestation encompasses a radius of 3-10 meters.
RSSI/Calibration: These settings should be adjusted by a Mero technician only.
