Wireless Access Point
Configuring the Wireless AP 191
Location
The AP offers an integrated capability for capturing and uploading visitor
analytics data, eliminating the need to install a standalone sensor network. This
data can be used to characterize information such as guest or customer traffic and
location, visit duration, and frequency. Use this Location window to configure the
AP to send collected data to an analytics server, such as Euclid.
When Location Support is enabled, the AP collects information about stations,
including the station ID and manufacturer, time and length of the visit and related
time interval statistics, and signal strength and its related statistics. Data collected
from stations comprises only basic device information that is broadcast by Wi-Fi
enabled devices. Devices that are only detected are included, as well as those that
actually connect to the AP. Multiple data points may be sent for a station— data is
sent for each IAP that sees a probe request from the station. The AP sending the
data also sends its own ID so that the server knows where the visitors were
detected. Data messages are uploaded via HTTPS, and they are encrypted if a
Location Customer Key has been entered. Data is sent as JSON (JavaScript Object
Notation) objects, as described in “Location Service Data Formats” on page 531.
