Eddystone-url Beacon Settings

Table 1. Eddystone-url Beacon Settings
Field 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 Eddystone-url Beacon.

URL The URL that is included with the Eddystone-url beacon.

The URL is limited to 17 characters. The 17 characters does not include the protocol, but it does include the domain name. A secure protocol (HTTPS address) is required. The URL is compressed, effectively allowing more than a 17-character input. See https://github.com/google/eddystone/tree/master/eddystone-url for the Eddystone-url compression rules to more accurately judge the length of your URL. If necessary, also find third-party URL Shortening Services available on the internet.

This setting can be defined for a specific AP. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides.

Advertise Interval The advertising interval for the beacon application. Valid values are: Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms). The default value is Min (100ms).
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
