      Table 1 Parameters for creating a location profile

      Parameter

      Description

      WLAN Location Profile

      Name of the location profile, which cannot be modified.

      Source IP address of outgoing packets

      Source IP address in location packets reported to the AC. This parameter takes effect only in AeroScout and Ekahau positioning.

      AeroScout Location

      Tag location

      Whether to enable WLAN location of AeroScout tags.

      STA location

      Whether to enable WLAN location of AeroScout MUs.

      Packet aggregation interval (100 ms)

      Interval of AeroScout tag location packet aggregation and MU packet aggregation.

      Data report mode

      Mode in which AeroScout location packets are reported.

      • Through AC: An AP reports AeroScout location packets to an AC, and the AC forwards them to the AeroScout location server.
      • AP: An AP directly reports AeroScout location packets to the AeroScout location server without sending them to the AC.
      NOTE:

      Each location profile defines three location methods: AeroScout location, Ekahau location, and private location. If multiple location profiles are used and the same location method is used, Through AC can be only specified in one profile.

      Server port number

      Port number of the AeroScout location server.

      AC port number

      AC port number used to communicate with the AeroScout location server.

      Ekahau Location

      Tag location

      Whether to enable WLAN location of Ekahau tags.

      Data report mode

      Mode in which Ekahau location packets are reported.

      • Through AC: An AP reports Ekahau location packets to an AC, and the AC forwards them to the Ekahau location server.
      • AP: An AP directly reports Ekahau location packets to the Ekahau location server without sending them to the AC.
      NOTE:

      Each location profile defines three location methods: AeroScout location, Ekahau location, and private location. If multiple location profiles are used and the same location method is used, Through AC can be only specified in one profile.

      Server IP/port number

      IP address and port number of the Ekahau location server.

      AC port number

      AC port number used to communicate with the Ekahau location server.

      Private Location

      STA location

      Whether to enable STA location.

      Data report interval (ms)

      Interval for reporting STA location packets.

      Protocol version

      Version of the STA location protocol.

      • V3: The location protocol is Version 3.
      • V5: The location protocol is Version 5.

      Data report mode

      Mode in which STA location packets are reported.

      • Through AC: An AP reports STA location packets to an AC, and the AC forwards them to the STA location server.
      • AP: An AP directly reports STA location packets to the STA location server without sending them to the AC.
      NOTE:

      Each location profile defines three location methods: AeroScout location, Ekahau location, and private location. If multiple location profiles are used and the same location method is used, Through AC can be only specified in one profile.

      Server IP/port number

      IP address and port number of the STA location server.

      AC port number

      AC port number used to communicate with the STA location server.

      Wireless Device Location Data
      Wireless location collection

      Whether to enable the device to collect wireless device location data.

      RSSI threshold for collecting location data (dBm) The RSSI threshold for wireless device location data.

      This parameter can be configured only when Wireless location collection is set to ON.

      Paibo Location
      NOTE:
      This parameter is available only when the Paibo plug-in is installed.

      Paibo Location

      Whether to enable the Paibo terminal location function on APs.

      Data report interval

      The interval at which APs report channel scan information.

      IP address/Port number of the report server

      The destination IP address and port number of the Paibo location server to which APs report location data.

      AC port number

      The destination port number of the AC to which APs report location data

      Key

      Specifies the key used to encrypt location data.

      Initial vector

      Specifies the IV used to encrypt location data.
