RTLS Settings
A Real-Time Location System (RTLS) profile must be configured and enabled within ExtremeCloud
Appliance before ExtremeCloud Appliance will communicate with the location-based server and before
the APs will perform location-based functionality. ExtremeCloud Appliance supports the following
location-based solutions:
•
AeroScout
•
Ekahau
•
Centrak.
•
Sonitor
Configure the AP to integrate with a Real-Time Location System (RTLS).

Consider the following information related to Real-Time Location System (RTLS):
•
Ensure that your location-based service tags are configured to transmit on all non-overlapping
channels 1, 6 and 11 (and on channels above 11 where allowed). For information about proper
deployment of the location-based solution, refer to the third-party documentation (AeroScout/
Ekahau/Centrak).
•
Within an Availability Pair, tag report transmission pauses on fail-over APs until the APs are
configured and notified by the location-based server. With an availability pair, it is good practice to
configure each ExtremeCloud Appliance with the same location-based service.
•
An RTLS profile cannot be deleted when it is part of an active configuration profile.
