Configuration
There are several settings available for boards. They are accessible by centui or by API.
This section describes all the configuration available. Most of them require a maintainer or admin user.
centui allows multiple selection of boards, and apply the configuration, one board at a time.
Most configuration requires the board to be restarted: useReboot
This changes the NFC Detection behavior. There are 4 modes, you can configure, depending on your needs. Usually, consider ALL for more flexibility, but when you control your parc of NFC tag, you may wish to select only 1 type to have better performances.
| RF Type box | NFC Type |
|---|---|
NFC Forum tag type 2 |
ISO14443 Only |
NFC Forum tag type 5 |
ISO15693 Only |
Alternative tag type |
alternativetly scan all types |
First tag type found |
as soon as 1 tag is found, the board will only scan its type |
Obviously, there are performance considerations when choosing a NFC type. If you fix one, you will decrease interoperability, but save precious scan processing time.

By default, the configuration isNFC Forum tag type 5.
This lets you change some board’s properties:
Dimensions: at the moment, this only have a visual effect on the board’s view.Margins: this impacts the event qualification flow. If a move is detected within margins coordinates, the event won’t be generated.Disable Geolocation: if checked coordinates returned by the boards will always bex=0,y=0.
This sends a request to the boards to reset its current cache to refresh the content measure.
When you send the request, if the full scan is successful, this means the board has received the request, but it has not run it yet. It will be shceduled as soon as it can.
Moreover, depending on the number of tags on the board, and depending on the RF type configuration, the processing time can vary from seconds to minutes.
If you have the impression the board content collected from the Data platform differs from the read board content, you can use Full scan to request a re-synchronization, a refresh of the data.
See How to procedure.
Do not forget to restart the board to take the parameters into account.
In case of On-Premise setup, we advise you to configure WIFI + MQTT before restarting the board.
