Generic BLE Scan Settings

You must have completed the procedure Configure IoT Profiles and be in the process of configuring a Device Group IoT Profile for the BLE Scan function and Generic scan application to continue with the information provided in this section.

Generic BLE Scan extends the BLE Beacon function to a generic beacon format. The generic option enables the AP to detect and forward beacon messages for specified vendors.

Note

Generic BLE Scan is not supported on the AP3900 series access points.

Table 1. Generic BLE Scan Settings
Field	Description
Name	Unique profile name.
Function	Determines the purpose of the IoT profile. Select BLE Scan.
Application	Determines application type based on the previously selected function BLE Scan. Select Generic.
Scan
Interval (ms)	Determines how long to wait between scans. Valid values are: Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms). The default value is Min (100ms).
Window (ms)	Determines how long to scan per channel. Valid values are Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms).Value must be less than Scan Interval value. Default value is 100ms.
Filter
Min RSSI [dBm]	This is the signal strength required to include the packet in the BLE report. Valid values: -10 to -100. Default value is -100. Data from beacons with an RSSI that is less than the Min RSSI configured value is filtered out.
Vendor	Select from the drop-down list. Choose Any, Chorus, or Custom. Any indicates that no filtering is applied. Look up Company IDs at www.bluetooth.com. You can create up to 5 company ID filters. If you select Custom, indicate these fields: Name (e.g. Aeroscout) Company ID (e.g., 935) ExtremeCloud IQ Controller recognizes AeroScout BLE tags during Generic BLE scanning. These tags are commonly used in healthcare and enterprise environments for asset tracking and presence detection. With Real-Time Reporting enabled, configuring the Aeroscout option sends BLE data in a custom format to the UDP server.
Destination
IP Address	IP address of the customer Application Server that receives the beacon report.
Port	Destination Port on the customer Application Server (UDP Server) that presents the beacon report. Best Practice: Verify that the server IP address and Port number specified in the Profile are open.
