SpectraLink 8000 OAI Gateway installed at your site, you should
disable the OAI feature to preserve network bandwidth and battery
life.
Location Service
Location service may be used to enable or disable the Ekahau Real-
Time Location System (RTLS), select a transmit interval, or enter a
static IP address for the Ekahau Positioning Engine (EPE). Location
services capability is provided by the EPE 4.0 using Ekahau Location
Protocol (ELP). See Ekahau’s user documentation for more
information.
RTLS [Enable/Disable]
The RTLS is disabled by default. Press
NavOK
to
toggle to the alternate setting. When RTLS is enabled, the handset will
display the RTLS icon in the top center of the screen.
The ring indicator icon will take precedence over the RTLS icon, i.e.
the new icon will not be visible while the handset is ringing. When
ringing has ceased and the ring indicator becomes inactive, the RTLS
icon will again appear (regardless of hook state).
Transmit interval
Allows selection of
1 minute
,
5 minutes
, or
10 minutes
for
maximum time between transmit intervals. Default transmit interval
is 10 minutes. Press
NavOK
to select the desired transmit interval.
To optimize battery life, the interval between sending out ELP
updates will vary based on handset state. It is expected that ELP
updates will occur at most every two to six seconds and at least
every few minutes. If improved tracking capability is desired, set the
transmit interval for a shorter time between ELP updates. Increasing
the frequency of transmissions will decrease battery life.
Location Server IP
Allows the user to statically enter the IP address of
the EPE. Enter the IP address and press
NavOK
to save.
Ekahau clients are not expected to find the EPE automatically.
Regardless of the handset’s selection of DHCP or static IP, the EPE
IP address must be statically entered in the Ekahau admin menus or
HAT.
ELP Port
Allows the user to select the port number which ELP updates
get sent to at the Location Server IP address. It must match the value
configured in the Ekahau Positioning Engine for proper functionality.
The ELP port number must be greater than zero and less than 65536.
Default is 8552. Enter the port number and press
NavOK
to save.
