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).
