| 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 Bluetooth low energy (BLE) 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). The interval at which the AP scans
for asset tags is determined by the Sensor policy applied on the AP's
self or in the AP's RF domain context. For information on Sensor
policy, see sensor-policy.
-
tron-tracking – TRON is a proprietary FedEx feature. Select this
option to enable TRON tracking. When enabled, it BLE-enabled, WiNG
APs detect ‘ID Nodes‘ within a managed network and report to a
proprietary FedEx back-end server application. If selecting this
option, configure the Bluetooth radio's initial configurations
needed to enable TRON tracking and reporting. For more information,
see tron. Note: Tron-tracking is
only supported on AP8533 model access point.
