The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the myriad of devices that include beacons and the
sensors that scan for and collect beacon data.
ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller supports IoT
beacon and scanning technology for a specific brand and generic BLE scanning. Both iBeacon
and Eddystone-url offer both beacon and scan functions. In addition, ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller supports generic scanning.
Configure a separate IoT profile for each IoT function and application or
for a generic BLE scan:
Specify a profile name.
Specify a profile function —
BLE Beacon or BLE Scan.
Check the IoT application(s):
For BLE Beacon, select iBeacon
and/or Eddystone-url.
For BLE Scan, select iBeacon,
Eddystone-url and/or Generic.

The resulting parameters depend on the
function and application you select. Set the values of the parameters according to the
selections for function and application.
Destination - Check
External Server
if you want to configure the destination. Indicate the UDP server IP and Port.
If BLE Scan is
enabled (e.g., iBeacon Scan or Eddystone-url Scan), scan results can be forwarded to
the ADSP and positioning engines.
The following AP models support IoT regardless of the IoT application that is
configured:
