| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Unique profile name. |
| Function | Determines the purpose of the IoT profile. Select BLE Beacon. |
| Application | Determines application type based on the previously selected
function
BLE Beacon. Select iBeacon. |
| Advertising Interval | The advertising interval for the beacon application. Valid values are: Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms). The default value is Min (100ms). |
| UUID | Identifier used to differentiate a large group of related beacons. A company can have a network of beacons with the same UUID. |
| Major | Identifies a subset of beacons within the larger
set. This value could represent a venue specific attribute, such as a specific store or wing
in a building. Valid values are 0 to 65535. This setting can be defined for a specific AP. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides. |
| Minor | Identifies an individual beacon. Used to more precisely
pinpoint beacon location. This value complements the UUID and Major values to provide more
granular identification of a specific location, such as a particular shelf, door-way, or
item. Valid values are 0 to 65635. Specify 0 for Random Minor. ExtremeCloud IQ Controller generates the Minor value. This ensures that each AP receives a unique value. This setting can be defined for a specific AP. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides. |
| Measured RSSI | The calibrated (or measured) RSSI, in dBm for the beacon. The
transmitted beacon includes this value in the tag. Default values are: iBeacon -47dBm,
Eddystone beacon -5dBm. The default precision value is acceptable in most cases. To
calibrate your own precise value: Using Eddystone Beacon, measure the actual transmitter
output from 1 meter away and add 41dBm. (41dBm is the signal loss that occurs over 1
meter.) If you are using Apple iBeacon, refer to: "Calibrating iBeacon" at https://developer.apple.com/ibeacon/Getting-Started-with-iBeacon.pdf This setting can be defined for a specific AP. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides. |
