rest (ble-data-export-commands)

Configures the third-party, BLE-locationing server‘s URL. This is the external resource to which WiNG APs forward BLE data (UUID, RSSI, etc.) using the REST API. The data is forwarded in the JASON format.

Supported in the following platforms:

• Access Points — AP-7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP-8432, AP-8533

• Wireless Controllers — RFS 4000

• Service Platforms — NX 5500, NX 75XX, NX 95XX, NX 96XX, VX 9000

Syntax

rest <URL>

Parameters

rest <URL>

Examples

ap8432-070235(config-ble-data-export-policy-test)#rest https://test.com/12/

ap8432-070235(config-ble-data-export-policy-test)#show context
ble-data-export-policy test
 rest https://test.com/12/
ap8432-070235(config-ble-data-export-policy-test)#

The following example shows the configurations will have to configure the following parameters to enable BLE data forwarding:

1. On the WiNG AP‘s profile/device context, configure the following Bluetooth parameters:

   

   ap8432-070235(config-profile-test-if-bluetooth1)#mode le-sensor

   

   ap8432-070235(config-profile-test-if-bluetooth1)#no shutdown

   

   ap8432-070235(config-profile-test-if-bluetooth1)#show context
    interface bluetooth1
     no shutdown
     mode le-sensor
   ap8432-070235(config-profile-test-if-bluetooth1)#

   This enables the AP as a BLE sensor.

2. On the APs‘ controller,

   1. Configure a BLE data export policy, pointing to the external, third-party, REST end-point.

      

      NOC-NX9500(config-ble-data-export-policy-test)#rest https://test.com/12/

   2. Configure a sensor policy.

      

      NOC-NX9500((config-sensor-policy-test)#rssi-interval-duration 30

   3. Navigate to the BLE-enabled, WiNG AP‘s RF Domain context and:

      • Use the BLE data export policy, configured in step 2a.

        

        NOC-NX9500(config-rf-domain-ble)#use ble-data-export-policy test

        This enables BLE data forwarding to the external, third-party server specified in the policy.

      • Use the sensor policy, configured in step 2b.

        

        NOC-NX9500(config-rf-domain-ble)#use sensor-policy test

        When applied, BLE data is forwarded at the interval specified in the sensor policy.
