Bluetooth Low Energy scan
The FortiGate can configure FortiAP Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scan, incorporating Google's BLE beacon profile known as Eddystone, used to identify groups of devices and individual devices.
|
Currently, only the FAP-S221E, FAP-S223E, and FAP-222E models support this feature. |
Use the following syntax to configure BLE profiles, configure BLE report intervals, and assign BLE profiles to WTP profiles.
CLI syntax - Configure BLE profiles
config wireless-controller ble-profile

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 |
