How to Enable Location Analytics

This topic describes a high level, end-to-end workflow about how to enable location analytics.

ExtremeCloud provides location analytics by integrating with ExtremeLocation.

All access points (APs) at a ExtremeCloud site can be configured to use ExtremeLocation. ExtremeCloud allows one device group per site.

To enable location analytics, follow this process:

Configure the site's advanced settings to enable location analytics and configure the reporting interval.
For each location-supported AP at the site, configure the radio mode to sensor. The procedure differs, depending on whether you are configuring ExtremeWireless or configuring ExtremeWireless WiNG.

Note
For some AP models, if the radio is not in sensor mode but it is serving ExtremeLocation, the AP can also be configured for either Promiscuous or Hop Off Channel modes. For information about which models support these advanced options, see the Release Notes.
Select Settings > General, and enter the ExtremeLocation licensed account number in the Extreme Location pane.
After you enable location analytics in ExtremeCloud, users can log in to ExtremeLocation directly from the ExtremeCloud user interface.
