Field Description
Application Determines application type. Select iBeacon Scan
Destination IP Address IP address of the customer Application Server that receives the beacon report.
Destination Port Destination Port on the customer Application Server that presents the beacon report.
Scan Interval Determines how long to wait between scans. Valid values are: Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms). The default value is Min (100ms).
Scan Window Determines how long to scan per channel. Valid values are Min (100ms) and Max (10240ms).Value must be less than Scan Interval value. Default value is 100ms.
UUID Identifier used to differentiate a large group of related beacons. A company can have a network of beacons with the same UUID.

Used for filtering data. ExtremeWireless forwards data with matching UUID to the Application Server and filters out all other UUID data. If UUID configured value is all zeros, no filtering occurs.

Min RSSI This is the signal strength required to include the packet in the BLE report. Valid values: -10 to -100. Default value is -100. Data from beacons with an RSSI that is less than the Min RSSI configured value is filtered out.
