WiNG access points utilize a built-in Bluetooth chip for specific Bluetooth functional behaviors in a WiNG managed network. Both Bluetooth classic and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology are supported. Bluetooth classic-enabled radios sense other Bluetooth-enabled devices and report device data (MAC address, RSSI and device calls) to an ADSP server for intrusion detection. If the device presence varies in an unexpected manner, ADSP can raise an alarm.

WiNG model access points support Bluetooth beaconing to emit either iBeacon or Eddystone-URL beacons. The access point‘s Bluetooth radio periodically sends non-connectable, undirected LE (low-energy) advertisement packets. These advertisement packets are short and sent on Bluetooth advertising channels that conform to already-established iBeacon and Eddystone-URL standards. However, portions of the advertising packet are customizable via the Bluetooth radio interface configuration context.

Supported in the following platforms:

• Access Points – AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h, AP7602, AP7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP8432, AP8533

To switch to this mode, use the following commands in the AP's profile or device context:

<DEVICE>(config)#profile <ap-type> <PROFILE-NAME>

<DEVICE>(config-profile-default-ap-type)#interface bluetooth ?
  <1-1>  Bluetooth interface index?

The following example uses the default-ap505 profile instance to configure the Bluetooth radio interface:

nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-default-ap505)#interface bluetooth 1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-default-ap505-if-bluetooth1)#?
