Implementation of Terminal Location

Network Troubleshooting

On a WLAN, the following faults may occur:

Rogue APs exist on the WLAN.
Interference sources exist, affecting the WLAN.
Users cannot access the WLAN or encounter problems when using the WLAN.

To troubleshoot such faults, configure the terminal location function, as shown in Figure 1. This function can locate Wi-Fi terminals, rogue APs, and interference sources on the WLAN, helping O&M personnel quickly locate and rectify the faults.

Passenger Flow Analysis

In a shopping hall, the administrator needs to collect statistics about the stay durations of passengers in different stores based on the passengers' locations. Such information can help the administrator analyze shopping trends and passenger flows.

After the terminal location function is configured, the administrator can obtain MAC addresses of Wi-Fi STAs in the shopping mall and stay durations of passengers. The administrator can then upload obtained information to the location server, facilitating passenger flow statistics collection and analysis.
