The presence and location API feature lets Extreme Networks wireless devices detect
the presence of clients (such as smart phones) and obtain location data for all
connected and unconnected clients. Use the following steps 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.
-
Navigate to .
-
Select the plus sign on the
API Data
Management page.
-
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.
