Auto range process for elevator wireless node

A beacon calibration system for calibrating a beacon of an elevator call system, the beacon calibration system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• determining when a calibrator mobile device is located at a desired distance away from the beacon on a specific landing, the beacon being associated with one or more specific elevator systems at a specific elevator bank on the specific landing;
• detecting a wireless signal emitted by the beacon using a communication device of the calibrator mobile device when the calibrator mobile device is located at the desired distance;
• and
• establishing the desired distance as a selected range of the beacon for locating a passenger device for an elevator call received from the passenger device,
• wherein an elevator call system is configured to assign future elevator calls received from the passenger mobile device detected to be within the selected range of the beacon to the one or more specific elevator systems at the specific elevator bank on the specific landing.
