Location Appliance Maintenance
Step 2 On the left choose Administration and then click Polling Parameters.
Step 3 Click to check the check boxes to the left of each desired polling parameter. Adjust the intervals if necessary and click Save.
Note These settings govern how frequently the location appliance collects device information for the controller from the access points. If you adjust these polling intervals downward to provide more frequently updated location information, the network traffic increases. The minimum polling frequency is determined by how frequently your tags are beaconing and how fast you want to track location. For example, if your tags beacon every 20 seconds, then 20 seconds is how fast polling should occur. Do not configure polling for elements that are not of interest to you. For example, if you are not interested in statistics or rogues, then do not enable polling for them.
Step 4 To enable and adjust the frequency with which the location appliance archives location information, choose History Parameters under Administration.
Step 5 Click to check the check boxes to the left of each desired category.You can alter the frequency (in minutes) by adjusting the integers to the right of each category.
Step 6 Click Save to keep these settings.
Enabling Asset Tag Tracking
By default, RF ID asset tag tracking is not enabled. To enable the location appliance to track tag location, you must enable asset tag tracking for each controller.
Enable collection of tag location information by entering the following command using the CLI.
config rfid status enable
Asset tracking is now enabled, and tag location information is forwarded to the location appliance, provided the location appliance is configured to poll for this information.
With the location appliance imported and properly configured to track desired devices, WCS and the location appliance are ready to indicate device location on floor maps and display historical location information.
