location-server

Configures the ExtremeLocation server‘s IP address or hostname on the selected RF Domain. When configured, BLE-enabled WiNG access points, within the RF Domain, sense other BLE-enabled devices and report device data, using a Websocket, to the specified ExtremeLocation server.

ExtremeLocation is a highly scalable indoor locationing platform that gathers location-related analytics, such as visitor trends, peak and off-peak times, dwell time, heat-maps, etc. to enable entrepreneurs deeper visibility at a venue. To enable the location tracking system, the ExtremeLocation server should be up and running and the RF Domain configuration should point to the ExtremeLocation server.

Note

Before enabling BLE data export, ensure that the APs‘ Bluetooth radio is active and the mode is set to ‘le-sensor‘. For more information on configuring the Bluetooth settings on the AP‘s profile/device context, see mode.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP3000/X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

location-server 1 ip <EL-SERVER-IP/HOSTNAME> {port <1-65535>}

Parameters

location-server 1 ip <IP/HOSTNAME> {port <1-65535>}


location-server 1 ip <IP/HOSTNAME>	Identifies the ExtremeLocation server by its hostname 1 – Sets the server ID as 1. As of now only one ExtremeLocation server is configurable. ip <IP/HOSTNAME> – Enter ExtremeLocation server‘s hostname. This is the ExtremeLocation server designated to receive RSSI scan data from a WiNG dedicated sensor. Note: Enter the server‘s hostname and not the IP address, as the IP address is likely to change periodically in order to balance load across multiple Location server instances.
port <1-65535>	Optional. Configures the port where the ExtremeLocation server is reachable. <1-65535> – Specify a port from 1 - 65535. Note: By default, the ExtremeLocation server is reachable on port 443.
