Configures the Bluetooth
radio‘s beacon‘s emitted transmission pattern for Bluetooth radios
functioning in the low energy beacon (le-beacon) mode. This option
is applicable only if the Bluetooth radio‘s operational mode is set
to le-beacon.
When the beacon mode is set to ‘le-beacon‘,
use this command to configure the Bluetooth radio‘s
beacon‘s emitted transmission pattern. Select one of the
following beacon patterns:
eddystone-url1 – Transmits an Eddystone-URL
beacon using URL 1. This is the default
setting.
eddystone-url2 – Transmits an Eddystone-URL
beacon using URL 2
An Eddystone-URL
frame broadcasts a URL using a compressed
encoding scheme to better fit within a limited
advertisement packet. Once decoded, the URL can
be used by a client for Internet access. If an
Eddystone-URL beacon broadcasts https:anysite,
clients receiving the packet can access that
URL. If setting the transmission pattern as
‘eddystone-url1‘ or ‘eddystone-ulr2‘, use the
‘eddystone‘ keyword to configure Eddystone
beacon payload parameters. For more
information, see eddystone.
ibeacon – Transmits an ibeacon beacon. iBeacon
was created by Apple for use in iPhone OS (iOS)
devices (beginning with iOS version 7.0). There
are three data fields Apple has made available to
iOS applications, a Universally Unique IDentifier
(UUID) for device identification, a Major value
for device class and a Minor value for more
refined information like product category. If
setting the transmission pattern as ‘ibeacon‘, use
the ‘ibeacon‘ keyword to configure ibeacon beacon
payload parameters. For more information, see
ibeacon.

more information on configuring the Bluetooth radio‘s
operational mode, see mode.
beacon period <100-10000>
beacon period <100-10000>
Configures the Bluetooth radio‘s beacon
transmission period, in milliseconds, from 100 - 10000.
As the defined period increases, so does the CPU
processing time and the number of packets incrementally
transmitted (typically one per minute).
<100-10000> – Specify a value from 100 -
10000 milliseconds. The default value is 1000
milliseconds.
beacon txpower <-15-6>
beacon txpower <-15-6>
Configures the Bluetooth radio‘s le-beacon transmit
power. This determines how far a beacon can transmit
data.
<-15-6> – Specify a value from -15 - -6
dBM. The default value is -10 dBm.
