RTLS

Use the RTLS commands to use the managed APs as part of an Ekahau RTLS to track the location of Ekahau Wi-Fi tags.

18.1 RTLS Introduction

Ekahau RTLS (Real Time Location Service) tracks battery-powered Wi-Fi tags attached to APs managed by the NXC to create maps, alerts, and reports.

The Ekahau RTLS Controller is the centerpiece of the RTLS system. This server software runs on a Windows computer to track and locate Ekahau tags from Wi-Fi signal strength measurements. Use the NXC with the Ekahau RTLS system to take signal strength measurements at the APs (Integrated Approach / Blink Mode).

18.2 RTLS Commands

The following table lists the rtls commands. You must use the configure terminal command to enter the configuration mode before you can use these commands.
