16.2 Before You Begin
You need:
• At least three APs managed by the NXC (the more APs the better since it increases the amount of
information the Ekahau RTLS Controller has for calculating the location of the tags)
• IP addresses for the Ekahau WiFi tags.
• A dedicated RTLS SSID is recommended.
• Ekahau RTLS Controller in blink mode with TZSP Updater enabled.
• Firewall rules to allow RTLS traffic if the NXC firewall is enabled or the Ekahau RTLS Controller is behind a
firewall.
For example, if the Ekahau RTLS Controller is behind a firewall, open ports 8550, 8553, and 8569 to allow
traffic the APs send to reach the Ekahau RTLS Controller.
The following table lists default port numbers and types of packets RTLS uses.
