BLE Status and Configuration¶

BLE status and configuration settings allow you to:

View BLE operation status
Scan for nearby BLE devices
Connect or disconnect from BLE devices

Viewing BLE Operation Status¶

To view BLE operation status:

For Web Manager, go to BLE > Status.

For CLI, go to Status BLE Operation level.

The BLE operation status shows:

BLE state (Enabled/Disabled)
BLE device address
Connected clients/servers

Configuring BLE Settings¶

To configure BLE settings:

For Web Manager, go to BLE > Configuration.

For CLI, go to Config BLE level.

For XML, go to configgroup BLE.

Refer to the table below for field descriptions.

Field	Description
State	May be "Enabled" or "Disabled".

Nearby BLE Devices¶

You can scan for nearby BLE peripherals and connect to them.

To scan for nearby BLE devices:

For Web Manager:

Go to BLE > Nearby Devices.
Click Start Scan to detect BLE devices in range.
The scan results displays the following fields: Device Name, Device Address, RSSI, and BLE address type.
Select a device to connect.

For CLI, go to Status BLE Nearby Devices level.

Nearby BLE Device Fields

Field	Description
Device Name	Name of the BLE device
Device Address	BLE device address
RSSI	Signal strength (dBm)
Address Type	Public/Random/Private Resolvable/Private Non-resolvable

BLE Beacon Scanner¶

The BLE Beacon Scanner allows the xPico 600 device to detect BLE beacon advertisements from nearby devices. Detected beacons can be monitored and logged for location, identification, or application-specific tasks.

For Web Manager, go to BLE Beacon Manager.

For CLI, use the appropriate Status BLE Beacon Scanner level.

Line Configuration¶

To list BLE devices using Scan and Nearby Devices, we need to first enable the Line protocol to either BLE Connect or BLE Beacon Scanner, depending on the functionality being used.

For CLI, go to Config Line level:

config Line 1>protocol BLE Connect
Changed Line 1 Protocol to "BLE Connect".
WARNING: Change will not persist after reboot unless you "write".
WARNING: Flow control is required for XML import/export and file upload through Command Line.
