Configure iBeacon Service

Before you begin

Configure a network policy.

About this task

You can configure the embedded iBeacon transmitter in APs. As transmitters, these beacons broadcast numerical advertisements that trigger an action on Bluetooth-enabled devices that come within range. For example, an app running on a mobile device might react to an iBeacon signal by displaying welcome messages, sale announcements, or coupons.

Procedure

  1. Toggle iBeacon Service On.
  2. Enter a name.
  3. Enter an optional description.
  4. If your organization already has a UUID number, enter this number in the iBeacon UUID field, formatted appropriately with hyphens separating the groups of numbers.

    You can also automatically create a UUID with an online UUID generator, such as the one at https://www.uuidgenerator.net/.

  5. Select Enable iBeacon Monitoring.
