Knot (RB924i-2nD-BT5&BG77) + Bluetooth tag (TG-BT5-IN) pairing

Hello,
I took 1 KNOT and 3 Bluetooth tags, but I have problems connecting between them.

- https://mikrotik.com/product/knot
- https://mikrotik.com/product/tg_bt5_in

I installed " MikroTik Beacon Manager " from Play Store and as described with a magnet, I activated the tags and managed to join them in Beacon Manager.

The problem is that I can't find information on how to connect them to KNOT itself and then how I can keep track of where they are.

I found nothing on Youtube except video and unbox reviews.

Please if anyone has already worked with them send links to manuals for both widgets

There is no need to "pair" anything. Once the tags are in the advertising mode:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... g-Tagmodes
tags will broadcast information about themselves in the Bluetooth packet's payload. This payload will be "broadcasted" over specific Bluetooth channels:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Bluetooth
the KNOT will "listen" to the payloads on those channels and display them under its Bluetooth interface. There is no "pairing" involved. Tags broadcast packets and KNOT just captures/displays them.
