Configure a Location Server.
Devices configured as location servers take readings on the RSSI. The RSSI indicates
the RF signal strength of the link between the AP and the wireless client. Each
Extreme Networks device within the client range sends its most recent RSSI
measurement for that client to the owner device. The owner device is the one to
which a client is associated. Then the owner device sends an aggregated RSSI report
to ExtremeCloud IQ.
-
Select Extreme
Networks Location Server.
-
For RSSI Change Threshold, set the number of decibels
(dB) a client RSSI must increase or decrease to trigger an Extreme Networks
device to update its report to the owner device, and for the owner device to
update its report to ExtremeCloud IQ.
-
For RSSI Valid Period, set the time that a client RSSI
measurement remains valid.
After this period elapses, an updated report for that client is transmitted
even if the RSSI value has not crossed the RSSI change threshold.
-
For RSSI Hold Count, set the number of times the owner
device can include the same client RSSI measurement from another device in its
aggregate report to ExtremeCloud IQ before omitting it from future reports.
-
For Location Report Interval, set the interval between
RSSI measurements from an Extreme Networks device to an owner device, and the
owner device to ExtremeCloud IQ.
-
For Report Suppression Count, select the number of
consecutive reports to suppress when a client RSSI measurement does not change
significantly.
