186 Configuring the Wireless Array
Location
The Array offers an integrated capability for capturing and uploading visitor
analytics data, eliminating the need to install a standalone sensor network. This
data can be used to characterize information such as guest or customer traffic and
location, visit duration, and frequency. Use this Location window to configure the
Array to send collected data to an analytics server, such as Euclid.
When Location Support is enabled, the Array collects information about stations,
including the station ID and manufacturer, time and length of the visit and related
time interval statistics, and signal strength and its related statistics. Data collected
from stations comprises only basic device information that is broadcast by Wi-Fi
enabled devices. Devices that are only detected are included, as well as those that
actually connect to the Array. The Array sending the data also sends its own ID so
that the server knows where the visitors were detected. Data messages are
uploaded via HTTPS, and they are encrypted if a Location Customer Key has
been entered. Data is sent as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) objects, as
described in “Location Service Data Formats” on page 492.

Procedure for Configuring Location
1. Enable Location Support: Choose Yes to enable the collection and upload
of visitor analytic data, or choose No to disable this feature.
2. Location URL: If Location Support is enabled, enter the IP address or
hostname of the location/analytics server. If this URL contains the string
euclid, then the Array knows that data is destined for a Euclid location
server.
