Note: The blink mode only works with 802.11n WLAN modules, not with 802.11ac WLAN modules. Correspondingly, it is not possible to activate the 'blink mode' for 802.11ac WLAN modules in LANconfig. The option is permanently disabled for devices of this type.
To configure access to the RTLS Server (ERC) with LANconfig, open the view and configure the section Ekahau.
- Server address (ERC)
- Enter the address of the ERC. You can enter an IP address or a host name.
- Port
- Contains the default UDP port (8569) for communication with the ERC. Change this value only in exceptional cases.
- Source address (optional)
- Optionally, specify a source address.
To configure the blink mode for each physical WLAN interface, navigate to and click Expert WLAN settings. If applicable, select the desired WLAN interface from the drop-down list and switch to the RTLS tab.
- Ekahau operating
- Enable or disable the Ekahau blink mode for this interface here.
- BSSID reported to ERC
- Here you select the logical WLAN interface that the device reports to the ERC. The ERC "maps” this BSSID to a particular location. For example, if this location were a server room, the ERC knows that Wi‑ Fi tag "A” is located in the server room as long as the "blink” arrives from the BSSID belonging to the corresponding APs.
