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:

Syntax

rest <URL>

Parameters

rest <URL>
rest <URL> Configures the third-party server's URL
  • <URL> – Enter the URL. This is the location of the resource to which WiNG APs send real-time RSSI feeds.

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 required 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.
