Parameters

mode [bt-sensor|le-beacon|le-sensor]


mode	Configures the Bluetooth radio's mode of operation. The options are: bt-sensor – Select this option to enable the radio as a bt-sensor. Bt-sensors are Bluetooth classic sensors providing robust wireless connections for legacy devices. Typically these connections are not ideally suited for the newer BLE (Bluetooth low energy) technology supported devices. This is the default setting. le-beacon – Select this option to provide Bluetooth support for newer BLE technology supported devices. le-beacons are newer Bluetooth low energy beacons ideal for applications requiring intermittent or periodic transfers of small amounts of data. le-beacons are not designed as replacements for classic beacon sensors. If selecting this option, use the beacon keyword to configure the Beacon transmission period and Beacon transmission pattern. le-sensor – Select this option to provide Bluetooth support for LE (low energy) asset tracking. When enabled, it uses the AP‘s Bluetooth radio to detect BLE ‘asset tags‘ within the managed network. This information is reported to a back-end server (for example, the ExtremeLocation server or a third-party locationing server).
