Use as many locale elements as desired.
Channel scanning
When calibrating, Location APs can scan the same channel that the Access Points scan. (After Nortel WLAN Location
Engine is fully deployed and operational, Location APs can be set to scan on one or more 802.11 bands).
RF Fingerprints
The Calibration RF Fingerprints page allows you to name RF fingerprints and bind them to locales without capturing the
RF data required for calibrating the Tracking Engine. This allows the capturing of RF fingerprint data to be handled by a
different person from the person who is selecting the locale and RF fingerprint names. An RF fingerprint is considered
empty until the RF data that characterizes it has been captured.
To capture RF data for each RF fingerprint, the personnel responsible for the calibration phase of the deployment can
physically walk through the area to be monitored. Nortel recommends holding a wireless device broadcasting on the
scanned channel. If the device cannot open a browser page to the Nortel WLAN Location Engine Console, then a second
device or individual must initiate the calibration process through the Nortel WLAN Location Engine Console.
Note.
The description attribute can be blank, but each name can have a value.
Note.
Before capturing RF fingerprints, create network traffic by starting a
continuous ping between the wireless client and the server.
