Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | Unique profile name. |
Function | Determines the purpose of the IoT profile. Select BLE Beacon. |
Application | Determines application type based on the previously selected
function
BLE Beacon. Select Eddystone-url Beacon. |
URL | The URL
that is included with the Eddystone-url beacon. The URL is limited to 17 characters. The 17 characters does not include the protocol, but it does include the domain name. A secure protocol (HTTPS address) is required. The URL is compressed, effectively allowing more than a 17-character input. See https://github.com/google/eddystone/tree/master/eddystone-url for the Eddystone-url compression rules to more accurately judge the length of your URL. If necessary, also find third-party URL Shortening Services available on the internet. This setting can be defined for a specific AP. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides. |
Advertise Interval | The advertising interval for the beacon application. Valid values are: Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms). The default value is Min (100ms). |
Measured RSSI | The calibrated (or measured) RSSI, in dBm for the beacon. The
transmitted beacon includes this value in the tag. Default values are: iBeacon -47dBm,
Eddystone beacon -5dBm. The default precision value is acceptable in most cases. To
calibrate your own precise value: Using Eddystone Beacon, measure the actual transmitter
output from 1 meter away and add 41dBm. (41dBm is the signal loss that occurs over 1
meter.) If you are using Apple iBeacon, refer to: "Calibrating iBeacon" at https://developer.apple.com/ibeacon/Getting-Started-with-iBeacon.pdf This setting can be defined for a specific AP. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides. |
