WiNG access points utilize a built-in Bluetooth chip for specific Bluetooth functional behaviors in a WiNG managed network. The AP8432 and AP8533 models support both Bluetooth classic and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology. These platforms use their Bluetooth classic enabled radio to 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.

Note

AP8132 model access points support an external USB Bluetooth radio providing ADSP Bluetooth classic sensing functionality only, not the BLE beaconing functionality available for AP8432 and AP8533 model access points described in this section.

WiNG access points support Bluetooth beaconing to emit either iBeacon or Eddystone-URL beacons. The access point‘s Bluetooth radio sends non-connectable, undirected low-energy (LE) advertisement packets periodically. 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.

To switch to this mode, use the following commands:

<DEVICE>(config)#profile <ap8432/ap8533> <PROFILE-NAME>

<DEVICE>(config-profile-default-ap8432)#interface bluetooth ?
  <1-1>  Bluetooth interface index?

The following example uses the default-ap8432 profile instance to configure the Bluetooth radio interface:

nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-default-ap8432)#interface bluetooth 1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-default-ap8432-if-bluetooth1)# Bluetooth Radio Mode commands:
  beacon       Configure low-energy beacon operation parameters
  description  Configure a description for this bluetooth radio
  eddystone    Configure eddystone beacon payload parameters
  ibeacon      Configure iBeacon beacon payload parameters
