Using the presence and location API feature, Extreme Networks wireless devices can
detect the presence of clients (such as smart phones) and obtain location data for
all connected and unconnected clients.
Use this task to configure a Presence and Data Location feed to stream raw presence
and location data from the ExtremeCloud IQ Cloud
Services platform to an external server.
-
Mouse over
, and then select Global Settings.
-
From the API menu, select
API Data
Management.
-
Select
.
-
Enter the Post URL for the server to receive presence
and location-based services.
The Extreme Networks Cloud
Services platform streams real-time presence and location data through a webhook
to this URL.
Note
Because client
MAC addresses and positions are being transmitted, an HTTPS connection is
strongly recommended. If you use an SSL certificate, ensure that it is well
known and contains the entire CA certificate chain because
ExtremeCloud IQ will not connect to a server
if it cannot validate its certificate.
-
Enter an access token, which is
either automatically generated when you create a new application in the Develop
Portal or which you manually generate (see Generate API Access Tokens).
-
Select a Message Type:
- Client-Centric presents a single view of a client
device and shows the Access Points observing it.
- AP-Centric sent for each Access Point that observes
client devices. If a client device is observed by multiple access
points, information about the device will appear in multiple messages,
one for each AP observation. This feature does not scale for customers
with high density environments.
-
Select Enable.
-
Select SAVE.
