Location Service Data Formats
Xirrus APs are able to capture and upload visitor analytics data, acting as a sensor
network in addition to providing wireless connectivity. This data is sent to the
location server in different formats, based on the type of server. The Location
Server URL, Location Customer Key, and Location Period for reporting data are
configured under Location settings. See “Location” on page 191 for details. If a
Location Customer Key has been entered, data is sent encrypted using AES with
that key.
Euclid Location Server
If the Location Server URL contains the string euclid, then it specifies a Euclid
server. Data is sent at the specified intervals, in the proprietary format expected
by the Euclid location server.
Non-Euclid Location Server
If the Location Server URL doesn’t contain the string “euclid”, then data is sent as
a JSON object at the specified intervals, with the following fields.
