Location Batch Reporting

When the Location Engine is enabled and configured to publish locations, it posts location data in XML format to a given location. The location data is pushed to up to five given destinations periodically within the given time interval. Batch reporting continues until Location Batch Reporting is disabled, the Location Engine is disabled, or the controller is powered off.

In location-based applications and user traffic analytics, integrating partners often require more detail than simply the location of a MAC address. The client reporting option allows users to generate a report with details from the MU-Table.

The AP reporting option provides AP details that give a third-party App server context for the AP location.

To generate a report:

  1. From the top menu, click Radar.
  2. In the left pane, click Location Engine.
  3. To enable/disable the Location Batch Reporting, in the left pane, select Location Batch Reporting then select the Location Batch Reporting checkbox.
  4. To enable/disable the Client Reporting, in the left pane, select Location Batch Reporting then select the Clients Detail Reporting checkbox.
  5. To enable/disable the AP Detail Reporting, in the left pane, select Location Batch Reporting then select the AP Detail Reporting checkbox.
