Note
Network Mobility Services Protocol (NMSP) runs on location appliance software release 3.0 or later. In
order for NMSP to function properly, the TCP port (16113) over which the controller and location
appliance communicate must be open (not blocked) on any firewall that exists between these two
devices. Refer to the
Cisco Location Appliance Configuration Guide
for additional information on
NMSP and RFID tags.
The Cisco-approved tags support these capabilities:
•
Information notifications
—Enable you to view vendor-specific and emergency information.
•
Information polling
—Enables you to monitor battery status and telemetry data. Many telemetry
data types provide support for sensory networks and a large range of applications for RFID tags.
•
Measurement notifications
—Enable you to deploy chokepoints at strategic points within your
buildings or campuses. Whenever an RFID tag moves to within a defined proximity of a chokepoint,
the tag begins transmitting packets that advertise its location in relation to the chokepoint.
The number of tags supported varies depending on controller platform.
lists the number of tags
supported per controller.
