Note: Before the location appliance can collect Asset Tag data, its associated Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers must have the following command entered in their CLI interfaces: config rfid status enable.
-Statistics Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of seconds between Statistics polling attempts between 1 and 99999, default = disabled and a 900 second interval. You may want to leave Statistics Polling off, and you may want to change the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection, respectively.
Note that the Polling Interval is the period between the end of a preceding polling cycle and the beginning of the next polling cycle. That is, if the polling cycles take five minutes to complete, and the Polling Interval is ten minutes, the time between the start of polling cycles is fifteen minutes.
5.When you have made the required selections, click Save to store your selections in the Cisco WCS and location appliance databases.
You have edited the location appliance Polling Parameters in the Cisco WCS and location appliance databases. Return to Configuring Location Appliances or Operating the Location Appliances.
Editing Location Appliance History Parameters
After adding a Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance (location appliance) to the Cisco WCS database, you can independently modify the client, rogue access point, and asset tag histories that the location appliance collects from its associated Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers. You can also program the location appliance to periodically prune duplicate data from its historical files to reduce the amount of data stored on its hard drive. Note that Cisco WCS users can display the location appliance historical data at any time.
1.In the Cisco WCS interface, select LOCATE to display the All Location Appliances page.
2.Click the desired Server Name to have Cisco WCS display the Location Appliance > General Properties > <LocAppliance Name> page.
3.In the left navigation bar, click History Parameters to have Cisco WCS display the Location Appliance > History Parameters > <LocAppliance Name> page.
4.Set the following:
-Archive for: Enter the number of days for the location appliance to retain a history of each enabled category between 1 and 30 days, default = 30. This number can be changed from the default to meet Cisco WCS users’ needs.
-Prune data starting at: Enter the number of hours and minutes (between 0 and 23 hours, and between 1 and 59 minutes) for the location appliance to collect historical data before starting pruning, and enter the number of minutes between each pruning operation (between 0, or never, and 99900000). Default start = 23 hours and 50 minutes, and interval =1440 minutes. This number can be changed from the default to meet Cisco WCS users’ needs.
-Client Station History and Interval: Select the check box to turn Historical data collection on, and enter the number of minutes between Historical data storage events between 1 and 99999, default = History Collection disabled and a 360 minute interval. You may want to leave Client History Collection off, and you may want to change the History Collection Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection, respectively.
