Configuring IoT Radio Profile

An IoT Internet of Things. IoT refers to the internetworking of devices that are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity features allowing data exchange over the Internet. radio profile can be created for an AP group with APs running AOS-8.

To configure an IoT radio profile for an AOS-8 AP group, complete the following procedure:

In the WebUI, set the filter to an AOS-8 AP group.
Under Manage, click Devices.
Click the Config icon.
Click Show Advanced.
Click IoT tab.
In the IoT Radio Profiles table, click the Add icon.
Configure the following parameters and click Save Settings.

Table 1: IoT Radio Profile for 8.x Group
Parameter	Description
Name	Name of the radio profile.
Radio	Type of radio. Select a radio type from the drop-down list: Internal—Use internal radio. External—Use external radio.
Radio mode	Mode of radio. Select a radio mode from the drop-down list: None—Do not use radio. BLE—Use BLE Bluetooth Low Energy. The BLE functionality is offered by Bluetooth® to enable devices to run for long durations with low power consumption. radio. Zigbee—Use Zigbee radio. BLE & Zigbee—Use BLE and Zigbee radio. NOTE: When the radio mode is set to BLE & Zigbee, BLE-Tx and Zigbee work together, but BLE-Rx and Zigbee do not work together.
Zone	Zone in which the IoT radio profile works.
BLE operation mode	Operation mode of BLE. Select a BLE operation mode from the drop-down list: Beaconing—Use beaconing mode. Scanning—Use scanning mode. Both—Use both beaconing and scanning modes. This parameter is available only when radio mode is BLE or BLE & Zigbee. NOTE: When the radio mode is set to BLE & Zigbee, the BLE operation mode can only be set to Beaconing.
Console	Mode of BLE console. Select a BLE console from the drop-down list: Auto—Use automatic BLE console. On—Use BLE console. Off—Do not use BLE console. This parameter is available only when Radio mode is BLE or BLE & Zigbee.
Tx power	Transmission power. Enter a value from the range: -40, -20, -16, -12, -8, -4, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20. APs with Gen-2 BLE/IoT radios adjust the calibrated RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator. RSSI is a mechanism by which RF energy is measured by the circuitry on a wireless NIC (0-255). The RSSI is not standard across vendors. Each vendor determines its own RSSI scale/values. values for iBeacon advertisements when the BLE transmission power level is modified. The calibrated values can be verified using the show ap debug ble-advertisement-info command. NOTE: This parameter is available only when the radio mode is BLE or BLE & Zigbee.
Zigbee operation mode	Operation mode of Zigbee coordinator. This parameter is available only when the radio mode is Zigbee or BLE & Zigbee.
Channel	Zigbee channel assignment. Select one of the following Zigbee channel assignments from the drop-down list: Automatic—Automatically assign Zigbee channel. Manual—Manually assign Zigbee channel. This parameter is available only when the radio mode is Zigbee or BLE & Zigbee.
