Aruba Beacons as iBeacons, without Meridian

I've been trying to set up some Aruba Beacons as iBeacons, without having to get Meridian (I have no idea even how to get Meridian). All I can find is this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/az68un/aruba_beacons/eiezsj4/

They do “beacon” out of the box and if you had a BLE scanner you could find the UUID/maj./min.

However, I've tried two out of this five-pack and, despite the batteries being good, my scanner shows nothing. I've tried short and long presses of the reset button, but nothing.

There is no instruction leaflet in the box, and Aruba's site is long on marketing information and short on instructions — the best I could find suggested using their own Aruba Beacons app, but that requires a login that I don't have, and doesn't say how to get one.

Is it possible to use these as plain iBeacons without having an Aruba enterprise setup?

Thanks
