Ekahau Client configuration settings include:
•
Enable Ekahau Positioning Engine Client
Ekahau Server Settings: Configures how the Ekahau Positioning Engine Client communicates with the server.

Server Hostname: The hostname or IP address of the Ekahau Positioning Engine. The maximum length of this

option is 50 characters. The default is 8548.
Connection Protocol: Specifies whether to use TCP or UDP as the network transport. The default is TCP.

Server Port: The network port used for communication. In the default Ekahau configuration, port 8548 uses

TCP, and port 8549 uses UDP.
Poll Rate: The time in seconds between each scan or wireless access points and communication with the

server. Once the Ekahau Client is enabled, every time the Digi 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, 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 that uses the Digi device. The default is
five seconds.
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.
•
Device Descriptors:
Device ID: A numeric identifier for the Digi device, used internally by the Ekahau Positioning Engine for device

tracking over time. Each Digi device located on the network requires a unique identifier.
Device Name: A descriptive name to identify the Digi device to users. The maximum length of this option is 50

characters.
