Introduction to ExtremeLocation Essentials Configuration

The following workflow depicts interactions between ExtremeCloud IQ, ExtremeLocation Essentials and Wi-Fi clients.

Use the ExtremeCloud IQ user interface (UI) to enable sensor mode and the ExtremeLocation Essentials service on APs
The sensor radio on the AP begins to scan the Wi-Fi frequency spectrum
As a WiFi device enters the coverage area, the sensor sees and reports it to the ExtremeLocation Essentials engine
Based on configured classification rules, the ExtremeLocation Essentials engine classifies the Wi-Fi device as one of the following:
- Visitor
- Staff
- Staff Personal Device.
Classification Threshold values determine the status of a visitor as one of the following:
- Outside
- Inside Bounced
- Inside Engaged Visitor.

ExtremeCloud IQ assigns the Wi-Fi device to the region and category where the reporting sensor is mapped. The Wi-Fi device then displays on the Floor Plan view in the ExtremeLocation Essentials UI.
