frequency was 5-3600 seconds. There are deployments that may require this to be configurable to as
frequently as 1 per second. Starting with AOS-W 6.4.2.0, you can set the station-message-frequency
parameter in the 1-3600 seconds range. Setting the frequency to 1 means a report would be sent for every
station every second. A value of 5 would mean that a report for any particular station would be sent at 5
second intervals.
An AP uses port 1144 to send/receive RTLS messages to/from an external RTLS server. Port 1144 is opened on
the AP only when the RTLS feature is enabled.
In the WebUI
Use the following procedure to configure an RTLS server with station message frequency using the WebUI:
1. Navigate to the Configuration >Wireless >AP Configuration page.
2. Under the AP Group tab, click the desired profile.
3. Under the Profiles list, navigate to the AP >AP system profile menu.
4. Under the Advanced tab of the Profile Details section, configure the RTLS Server configuration
parameters described in Table 124.
Parameter Description
IP or DNS IP address or the DNS of the RTLS server to which location reports are sent.
port Port number on the server to which location reports are sent.
frequency Indicates how often packets are sent to the server.
Valid range is 1-3600 seconds.
key Shared secret key.
includeUnassocSta Indicates whether to include unassociated stations when sending station reports.
Unassociated stations are stations that are not associated to any AP.
Default value is disabled.
Table 124: RTLS Server Configuration Parameters
In the CLI
Use the following commands to configure an RTLS server with station message frequency using the CLI:
(host) (config) #ap system-profile default
(host) (AP system profile "default") #rtls-server ip-or-dns <IP or DNS of RTLS server> port
<port> key <key> station-message-frequency <1-3600>
Important Points to Remember
n Sending more frequent reports to the server can improve the accuracy of the location calculation.
n Configuring an AP to send reports more frequently adds additional load in terms of CPU usage.
AP Redundancy
In conjunction with the switch redundancy features described in Increasing Network Uptime Through
Redundancy and VRRP on page 633 the information in this section describes redundancy for APs. Remote APs
also offer redundancy solutions via a backup configuration, backup switch list, and remote AP failback. For
more information relevant to remote APs, see Remote Access Points on page 695.
The AP failback feature allows an AP associated with the backup switch (backup LMS) to fail back to the primary
switch (primary LMS) if it becomes available.
