Eddystone BLE beacon profile integration

Eddystone is Google's BLE beacon profile that can be used to identify groups of devices and individual devices.

Use the following syntax to configure a BLE profile that integrates Eddystone. Once you configure the BLE profile, you must then assign it to a FortiAP profile.

To configure BLE profiles for Eddystone - CLI:

config wireless-controller ble-profile

edit <name>

set comment <comment>

set advertising {ibeacon | eddystone-uid | eddystone-url}

set ibeacon-uuid <uuid>

set major-id <0 - 65535> - (default = 1000)

set minor-id <0 - 65535> - (default = 1000)

set eddystone-namespace <10-byte namespace>

set eddystone-instance <device id>

set eddystone-url <url>

set txpower <0 - 12> - (default = 0)

set beacon-interval <40 - 3500> - (default = 100)

set ble-scanning {enable | disable} - (default = disable)

next

end

Note that txpower determines the transmit power level on a scale of 0-12:

0: -21 dBm	1: -18 dBm	2: -15 dBm	3: -12 dBm	4: -9 dBm
5: -6 dBm	6: -3 dBm	7: 0 dBm	8: 1 dBm	9: 2 dBm
10: 3 dBm	11: 4 dBm	12: 5 dBm
