Enable or disable the location
beacon sensor. In active mode a
location update is done immediately
when the tag notices a location
beacon. In passive mode the recent
observed location beacon ID is sent
to ERC only when location update
is initiated by other stimuli such as
periodic or motion wakeup

Note
Network wide DHCP enables roaming between subnetworks. With this setting the tag refreshes
its IP address whenever the tag associates with a new access point. It is not recommended to
use the feature, if not required, due to higher power consumption.
Note
Using the Advanced Scan Settings needs a careful consideration. The scanning consumes
a high amount of energy, and the more scanning is done the less battery life the tag has. Typ-
ically these parameters are used to improve accuracy in very difficult conditions or in cases the
tag otherwise would scan rarely.
