LANCOM access points are able to work as LBS clients with an LBS server. In this case, they report any connected clients to the LBS server, which can then offer location-based services to those clients. An HTTP API is supported as of LCOS 10.42, along with a Thrift interface that has been available for some time already.
Using the HTTP interface, access points can send LBS data directly to a freely configurable HTTP endpoint. The data is sent in JSON format, which ensures easy processing at the receiving end.
LANconfig:
- Location based services (LBS) enabled
- Enables or disables the location-based services.
- Server type
- Here you configure whether to use the HTTP interface or the Thrift interface.
