Beacon is not triggering on new build

I'm just finishing my vcore 4 idex build. I'm to the point of calibrating the beacon probe but it doesn't trigger. I have to emergency stop before it crashes. It is connected to the Pi via the included USB cable in the kit. The red light illuminates as the build plate gets close. I have "beacon" selected under the probe drop down in configurator. If i query_beacon, it returns unknown command. It seems like it isn't enabled in the firmware and I'm not sure how to fix it.

I had the same problem and kept stopping. The nozzle needs to touch the bed during calibration. After that, the beacon model is created.
