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

- 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.
