Eddystone-url ScanNEW!
BLE-enabled APs capture beacons and send them to a configured Application
Server. Upon reception, the server application triggers possible actions such as updating
statistics related to beacon location or communicating with a mobile device application.
An AP scans for beacons, filtering data based on
configuration parameters and reports findings to an Application Server.
ExtremeWireless forwards the report as a JSON message to the customer's Application
Server. The report includes the following data:
- AP Serial Number
- The MAC address of the beacon tag
- Decoded URL
- Device transmission power
- The signal strength of the iBeacon tag
The following filters can be applied at the AP to specify the
message stream:
- Minimum Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Transfers messages
that meet the configured RSSI threshold. Messages received with an RSSI below the configured
threshold are omitted.
Note
Only scanned frames with Eddystone-url format are supported. The
UUID must be
0xFEAA.
Refer to the
Integration Guide for details on the format of the beacon RTLS
message.
The customer's Application Server handles the business logic
and presentation of the IoT report. The Application Server:
- Calculates the distance between the BLE tag and the AP, based on the
signal strength for the tag/radio channel
- Maps AP Serial Number to a physical location
- Tracks BLE tags.
From ExtremeWireless,
configure Eddystone-url Scan parameters under AP configuration.
