set ekahau
Chapter 2 Command Descriptions 105
Options state={on|off}
Enables or disables the Ekahau Client feature.
The “id,” “name,” and “server” values must be set before you can set
“state” to “on.”
id=device id
A numeric identifier for the Digi Connect device, used internally by the
Ekahau Positioning Engine for device tracking over time. This identifier
should be unique for each Digi device being located on the network. It
must be configured before the device will allow the “state” option to be set
to “on.”
poll_rate=seconds
The time in seconds between each scan or wireless access points and
communication with the server.
Once the Ekahau Client is enabled (“state=on”), every time the Digi
Connect device scans the network, it is essentially disassociated with the
access point (AP) providing its network connectivity. In addition, during
the time, or scanning interval, set by the “poll_rate” option, it will not be
receiving or transmitting wireless packets. This could lead to packet loss.
Set the “poll_rate” as slow as acceptable in the application where the Digi
Connect product is being used.
The default is five seconds.
protocol={tcp|udp}
Specifies whether to use TCP or UDP as the network transport. The
default is “tcp.”
port=port
The network port to communicate on. In the default Ekahau
configuration, port 8548 is used for TCP, and port 8549 for UDP. This
setting must be configured before the device will allow “state” to be set to
“on.”
server={hostname|ip address}
The hostname or IP address of the Ekahau Positioning Engine. The
maximum length of this option is 50 characters. The default is 8548.
password=password
A password to authenticate with the server. The maximum length of this
option is 50 characters. The default for Digi and the Ekahau Positioning
Engine is 'Llama'.
name=device name
A descriptive name to identify the Digi Connect device to users. The
maximum length of this option is 50 characters. This name must be
configured before the device will allow “state” to be set to “on.”
