Wireless Location Appliance to Nexus

Hi dear,
I have a question about our wireless location appliance 2700, I want to connect it in dual attachment to our two nexus 2000 as all of other servers/appliance, I didn’t find any doc about this, could someone help me for that, if it’s possible or not and if yes how can I do that.?
Thanks in advance

There are two kinds of RFID tags: Active tags, which have a battery or other internal power source, and passive tags, which have no power source and work by reflecting the energy from an RFID scanner (basically). At the energy levels and distances used for WiFi location detection, passive tags will not return a detectable signal.
Take a look at http://www.aeroscout.com/ for more info on WiFi RFID tagging.

Wireless Location Appliance

Hi,
We have a central WCS server. One of our remote offices has purchased the 2710 wireless location appliance and 2 WLC's
Where is the best place to situate the appliance? In the remote site with the WLCs or centrally with WCS?
In addition we have purchased WCS licenses with "location" for all our other AP's. So we would like to utilise their 2710 for other WLAN's at other remote sites. (However, they (the remote site) should be the primary beneficiary). Does this affect the location of the appliance?
Appreciate your help,
Andy

I really don't think it matters where the location appliance is. However, since it is WCS that is sending the information to the Location Appliance for processing, it would probably be more logical for the location appliance to be located with the WCS server. I'm sure from a bandwidth perspective, the best option is to keep the two devices in close proximity.
I can't really think of a situation where you would even need to "prioritize" the benefits of the location appliance. Expect from an installation perspective, focusing more on the remote site before adding the others systems.

Wireless Location Appliance Compatibility

Hi
I have a Integrated WLAN Controller interface card in my 2800 series router which is capable of supporting 6 AP's. I want to do location tracking with these 6 AP's. I have my WCS system, but am going to purchase the location appliance as well.
However, i am unable to find anywhere if the location appliance is compatible with my WLAN controller as it is in an ISR, or would i need to purchase a standalone WLAN Controller?
Thanks
Ash

Hi,
Yes, the appliance is compatible with the whole controller range, modules. You just want to check codes (appliance code vs controller code version) compatibility here:

Wireless Location Appliance + Time and Motion

Good afternoon,
I'm looking into the feasibility of using a location appliance with wcs location to track time and motion of our warehouse staff. Can someone tell how detailed a report on client location history (movement) can I produce from the system?

When you use the location appliance with the WCS, it provides a lot of useful information which can be used to track clients, For complete information on the reports and the information that the location appliance can provide read http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6386/products_configuration_guide_book09186a008082d68c.html

Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) vs Wireless Location Appliance (WLA)

Seems to be that both the WLC and WLA can do asset tracking, i.e. track the physical location of a variety of Wi-Fi devices.
I read that the WLA can records historical location information. Can the WLC do so?
What would be the additional use of WLA if WLC can do location tracking? Or does they perform location tracking in different ways?

The WLC does not actually perform the reporting piece of ANY location tracking. You must have at the least WCS Plus. WCS can track any ONE item at the time the request for location was made (polling). The location server on the other hand can track thousands of devices in real time along with historical data. The MSE, which is the better choice to do this with, also has an open API to which you can write applications against the location data gathered from the controllers. So yes, the controller provides the location information to the WCS or MSE which has the location algorithms to locate and report the location of the devices. The MSE is much more robust than its smaller WCS brother. You must use a MSE with Context Aware Software. See the link below about context aware software. It comes in a couple of different flavors. One for tags, one for clients.

WLAN design wireless location appliance

Hi
We are planning to implement a wireless network with Cisco LWAP 1240AG AP's with Cisco AIR-ANT4941 antenna.
I understand that you should have AP's around the inside edge of the building spaced between 8-10 metres depending on the survey and then work inward with omni-directionsal antenna like the AIR-ANT4941.
Should the AP's around the edge have directional Antenna's rather than the 4941
Mark

Hi Mark,
Channel 1, 6, and 11 are just about as non-overlapping as 1, 7, and 13. There's an insignificant amount of overlap, so it's just as plausible of a solution, even in Europe. I honestly don't know why you wouldn't use the extra channels to eliminate the minor overlap - every bit helps.
The "channel blanket" or "virtual cell" WLAN design philosophy is rapidly spreading. Cisco maintains that it's a standards violation and I've heard no talk of them purchasing the not-to-be-named company or of them adopting the same design philosophy. I sincerely hope that they do one of the two soon, however, because it's very good design that's difficult for Cisco to compete against.

WLC upgrade to 7.0.98.0, WCS & Location Appliance to upgrade - Building maps location

Hi,
We recently upgraded about 24 WLCs (4402s and 5508s) from 6.x to 7.0.98.0. In order to support these WLCs through WCS, we also need to upgrade the WCS to 7.0.164 which is currently running at 6.0.132.0 (Linux OS). Same is the case with Wireless Location Appliance 2700 to be upgraded as well. Wireless Management system has number of building maps with AP locations.
Prior to upgrade the WCS / Location appliance we need to take the backup of these building maps, already stored to export after the upgrade. Kindly let us know the directory where all these maps are being stored, as during upgrade we will loose all the stored data / maps.
Thanks for your kind assistance.
Regards.
Shuja

Hi Shuja:
Who says you're going to lose all your maps and stored data during a WCS upgrade? The installer for WCS 7.0.164.0 will see the 6.0.132.0 installation and upgrade it in place, modifying the existing data to work in the new 7.0 format. The installer for WCS 7.0.164.0 will even ask you if you want to make a backup of this data before the upgrade process even starts, although it would be a good idea to pull a backup of everything before you start. (One can never have too many backups, right?) The backup application in your existing install should be at /opt/WCS6.0.132.0/backup . Run that application and it will prompt you for a location to put the .nmsbackup file.
The .nmsbackup file that results from a WCS backup is what gives WCS its portability across platforms (physical/virtual) and operating systems (Windows/Linux). It's essentially the lifeboat of WCS, containing the database, the maps, the licenses and other supporting files.

Location Appliance 2700 - Defect Harddisk

Hi everyone,
my customer owns a 2700 Wireless Location Appliance.
The Harddisk of the Appliance is broken and my customer replaced the defect with a new one.
This new Harddisk comes from a local hardware dealer and has no Operating System installed.
Is there something like a Rescue CD for WLSE?? Or any other Desaster Recovery mechanism??
What shall we do to get this appliance back to working condition?
Many thanks in advance.

Location Appliance

Location 2700 - 3.1.42.0
WCS - 4.2.81.0
WLC - 4402 - 5.1.151.0
I recently added a 2nd controller into my wireless infrastructure and I cant seem to get the location device to locate clients. It works no problem with the 1st controller.
The time on the devices is good, they sync with no problem...just wont locate any clients in WCS with AP's connected to my new controller. I get the error There are no clients on this floor. Either you don't have any location server which locates clients or none of your location servers detected any clients on this floor error message is reported on the Wirless Control System (WCS)
I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

You are using incompatible version. Considering your controller version is 5.1.51.0, you should have the following versions on your WCS and the location appliance.
WCS - 5.1.64.0
Location - 5.1.30.0
Please upgrade to these versions and if you still cannot locate clients, we can troubleshoot further.

Location Appliance Issue

Hi
I have a WCS that has been upgraded to Version 7.0.164.0 and a Location Appliance that is running 6.0.102.0
The RFID tracking is no longer working.
I can't see that WCS 7.0.164.0 supports the 6.0.102.0 on the Location Appliance and think I need to back off the Location Appliance to 6.0.101.0
Has anyone had similar problems?
Has anyone reverted the software on a Location Appliance before?
Thanks for any advice.
Regards
Roger

Hello Roger,
this is due to bug CSCth48443
Location Appliance stops tracking Wireless Client when WLC code is 7.0
you need location image 006.000.103
please contact us (TAC) to get this image posted to your CCO..
Kind regards

WLC, WCS. Location Appliance upgrade order

Folks -
I am about to upgrade my system from 4.1 code to 4.2 code. I am wondering if it's possible to have the WCS and 2700 Location Appliance upgraded to 4.2 d-cubed revs first while still running Concannon WLC code 4.1.185? I am hoping to be able to upgrade WCS/2700 several days before doing all of my controllers.
So in summary, will the following combo work? WCS-4.2.97, 2700-3.1.38.0, WLCs-4.1.185.

Hi Charles,
Yes, this would be the supported method :)

Querry on Location Appliance Server

Hi,
I need a help on the below :
Can we upgrade the Location Appliance to any version which is compatible with both WCS servers (4.2.110) and (5.2.100).If yes then which version would we go for location Appliance.
Please let me know.
Regds,
Lalit

The location appliance software is tied to the version of WCS that is running. The release notes for WCS tell which
version you should be running on the WLA.
For 4.2.110:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/release/notes/WCS4_2MR3.html
recommended code is: 3.1.42.0
For 5.2.110:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/release/notes/WCS_RN5_2.html
recommended code is: 5.2.91.0 (for both MSE and LA )
You should also keep in mind that location is tied to a range of code on the controllers and should be checked against the release notes
for location:
