Digi 90000566_H manual Id=device id, Server=hostnameip address, Name=device name

set ekahau

Options state={onoff}

Enables or disables the Ekahau Client feature.

The “id,” “name,” and “server” values must be set before you can set “state” to “on.”

id=device id

A numeric identifier for the Digi Connect device, used internally by the Ekahau Positioning Engine for device tracking over time. This identifier should be unique for each Digi device being located on the network. It must be configured before the device will allow the “state” option to be set to “on.”

poll_rate=seconds

The time in seconds between each scan or wireless access points and communication with the server.

Once the Ekahau Client is enabled (“state=on”), every time the Digi Connect device scans the network, it is essentially disassociated with the access point (AP) providing its network connectivity. In addition, during the time, or scanning interval, set by the “poll_rate” option, it will not be receiving or transmitting wireless packets. This could lead to packet loss. Set the “poll_rate” as slow as acceptable in the application where the Digi Connect product is being used.

The default is five seconds.

protocol={tcpudp}

Specifies whether to use TCP or UDP as the network transport. The default is “tcp.”

port=port

The network port to communicate on. In the default Ekahau configuration, port 8548 is used for TCP, and port 8549 for UDP. This setting must be configured before the device will allow “state” to be set to “on.”

server={hostnameip address}

The hostname or IP address of the Ekahau Positioning Engine. The maximum length of this option is 50 characters. The default is 8548.

password=password

A password to authenticate with the server. The maximum length of this option is 50 characters. The default for Digi and the Ekahau Positioning Engine is 'Llama'.

name=device name

A descriptive name to identify the Digi Connect device to users. The maximum length of this option is 50 characters. This name must be configured before the device will allow “state” to be set to “on.”
