Deployment
3.1.
X1000
Cassia Bluetooth router coverage varies based on conditions. In outdoor “open air” locations with no obstructions, the coverage radius of Cassia Bluetooth routers is greater than that of indoor locations with walls and obstructions.
In general, the radius of outdoor coverage may vary from 100-300 meters, depending on the wireless interference, obstructions, and line of sight. A rule of thumb for deployment is to ensure that the Bluetooth device can be connected consistently and the Bluetooth signal strength is strong.
Deployment principles:
• Poles or walls are required
•
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is required
▪ Installation height is better be between 3 to 30 meters
9 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
•
Install at locations away from radio transmitters, such as radio towers and cellular base stations
•
Ground cable and lightning protection is required
Figure 3: Cassia X1000 outdoor deployment

X1000 Antenna Radiation Graphs
If you place your router as pictured above, below are its Antenna Gain 3-D pictures.
10 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
11 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
Down-tilt Angle
When installation height is more than 10 meters, an antenna down-tilt angle is required.
According to the formula, the following tilt angles are highly recommended:
• At a height of 5-10 meters, no tilting is needed
• At a height of 10-20 meters, 5°-10° tilt is required to cover distance further than 10m
• At a height of more than 20 meters, please calculate the inclination angle according to the formula provided above
3.3.
E1000
Optimally, the Cassia E1000 should be placed above ground at a height of 10 to 15 feet
(3-5 meters), in line of sight within a range of 60 to 200 meters from the BLE device. Ceiling installations should be 2 meters away from nearby walls or columns. Obstacles, like walls, as well as WIFI interference, will reduce the range of Cassia Bluetooth routers.
Deployment principles:
12 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
• The installation location should be away from air conditioners, heating pipes, water supply pipes, transformer boxes, an elevator operation room, etc.
• Install away from microwaves, wireless keyboard/mouse, and other devices that also use the 2.4 GHz band.
• Keep at least 1 meter away from cellular antennas and WIFI access points (APs)

Getting Started
4.1.
Understanding the Cassia Access Controller (AC)
The Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) is a powerful IoT network management solution. Using the Cassia AC, organizations have access, control, and monitoring over IoT environments. The
Cassia AC solution enables the deployment and management of hundreds of Bluetooth routers, as well as the monitoring of thousands of detected/connected devices in an enterprise environment from one centralized interface. See Figure 5 .
14 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
Figure 5: E1000 Indoor Deployment
Why we should use the AC?
▪ Provisioning and managing Bluetooth routers individually is time-consuming and error-prone
▪ Version management for hundreds of routers individually is a manual, inefficient process
▪ Routers alone cannot support BLE device roaming
▪ Routers alone cannot track a BLE device’s location
For a complete datasheet of Cassia Access Controller, please visit https://www.cassianetworks.com/products/iot-access-controller/ .
Users may use a Cassia-hosted AC or install their own AC server. NOTE : It is strongly recommended that new users use a Cassia-hosted AC to speed up the trial process. The trial process of a Cassia Bluetooth Router with a Cassia-hosted AC is available for purchase with Cassia Starter Kits. Please contact Cassia support or resellers for more information.

Bypass tab
Cassia router has the capability to send scanned data directly from the router to a thirdparty server, while keeping the control path to the AC. We call this function “bypass”.
MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) is described on the mqtt.org site as a machine-tomachine (M2M) / IoT connectivity protocol. It is a publish/subscribe messaging transport protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks.
Since release v1.2, we have supported MQTT protocol on the bypass traffic, that means, your Cassia router can publish advertisement messages it receives from the BLE sensors to an MQTT server/broker. Other clients, such as web applications on your laptop and mobile device, can subscribe to the topics from the MQTT-Broker. See Figure 18 below for
Cassia MQTT Bypass Architecture.
Figure 18 Cassia MQTT Bypass Architecture
You can setup scan mode, filters and MQTT related configurations on this page, see Figure 19.
26 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
Parameter
Scan mode
Filtering
Figure 19: Cassia Bluetooth router configuration page – Bypass
Description passive or active
▪ The difference between active and passive scan is that active scan requests a SCAN_RESPONSE packet from the advertiser.
▪ A passive scan generally takes more time, since the router must listen and wait for an advertisement versus actively probing to find an advertiser. However, with passive scan, devices consume less battery power.
Users can configure filtering by device name, MAC or UUID. Note : The keywords that used for filtering need to be in the advertisement packets.
Bypass Protocol Select MQTT for bypass.

7 Cassia Restful APIs
The Cassia Restful APIs were developed to enable third party developers and device manufacturers to utilize Cassia routers’ Bluetooth routing and extended range capabilities while using their Cloud services to connect and control multiple BLE devices per Router simultaneously. Furthermore, the Cassia Restful APIs are designed to integrate directly into your application/server using an HTTP/HTTPS based communication protocol, which provides programming language flexibility. Cassia supports C#, Node.js, and Java, but you can choose other languages as you prefer.
The Cassia Restful APIs are built into the Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) and Bluetooth routers, providing the following functions: a.
Connect and control your BLE devices. b.
Support three modes: Scanning, Connecting, Broadcasting. c.
Write/read data to/from the BLE device via the Cloud server. d.
Read data as notification/indication events from the BLE device via the Cloud server.
