Enables support for OmniTrail Location Server (OTLS) beacon identification

OmniTrail (offered by OmniTrail technologies) is a Wi-Fi based locationing protocol used in positioning and tracking location solutions. Access points supporting OTLS beacon identification lock their radios to scan channels for beacons with OTLS tags. Beacons received by the access point are matched for the OTLS signature, and in case of a match, the beacons are forwarded to the OTLS server as UDP payload.

Use this command to configure OTLS server details on the AP and enable OTLS data forwarding. Alternately, OTLS parameters can be configured in the AP‘s profile on the controller or service platform, and pushed to adopted access points. When configured, APs establish connection with the OTLS server and forward OTLS locationing feeds to the server.

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

otls [apid|control-port|data-port|forward|server-ip]
otls apid <WORD>
otls control-port <0-65535>
otls data-port [2.4GHz|5GHz] <0-65535>
otls forward [2.4GHz|5GHz] [disable|enable]
otls server-ip <OTLS-SERVER-IP>

Parameters

otls apid <WORD>
otls apid <WORD> Configures a unique identification for the OTLS-enabled access point. The access point identifier (APID) enables the OTLS server to identify the AP forwarding the OTLS tag.
  • <WORD> – Specify an ID for the AP.

To ensure that OTLS-enabled APs have unique OTLS ID, it is recommended that the APID is configured in the device context of each AP.

 
otls control-port <0-65535>
otls control-port <0-65535> Configures the port used by the AP to establish and maintain connection with the OTLS server
  • <0-65535> – Specify the control port from 0 - 655635.
 
otls data-port [2.4GHz|5GHz] <0-65535>
otls data-port [2.4GHz|5GHz] <0-65535> Configures the port used by the AP to forward OTLS beacons to the OTLS server. However, OTLS data forwarding has to be enabled on the APs. Use the otls > forward > [2.4GHz|5GHz] > [disable|enable] command to enable data forwarding.
  • 2.4GHz – Configures the port used to forward OTLS beacons received on the 2.4 GHz band
  • 5.0GHz – Configures the port used to forward OTLS beacons received on the 5.0 GHz band

The following keyword is common to the above parameters:

  • <0-65535> – Specify a data-forwarding port from 0 - 65535.
 
otls forward [2.4GHz|5GHz] [disable|enable]
otls forward [2.4GHz|5GHz] [disable|enable] Enables or disables OTLS tag forwarding
  • 2.4GHz – Enables or disables forwarding of OTLS beacons received on the 2.4 GHz band
  • 5GHz – Enables or disables forwarding of OTLS beacons received on the 5.0 GHz band

The following keywords are common to the above parameters:

  • disable – Disables OTLS tag forwarding. By default OTLS beacon forwarding is disabled for both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
  • enable – Enables OTLS tag forwarding
 
otls server-ip <OTLS-SERVER-IP>
otls server-ip <OTLS-SERVER-IP> Configures the OTLS server‘s IP address
  • <OTLS-SERVER-IP> – Specify the OTLS server‘s IP address.
