Configuring the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller
Using an AeroScout/Ekahau Location-based Solution
SCALANCE WLC711
User Guide, V8.11, 07/2012, C79000-G8976-C260-03 2-55
Note:
Participating Wireless APs must use the 2.4 GHz band.
Once you have enabled the location-based service on the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller and the
participating Wireless APs, at least one of the participating Wireless APs will receive reports from
an AeroScout/Ekahau Wi-Fi RFID tag in the 2.4GHZ band. The tag reports are collected by the AP
and forwarded to the AeroScout/Ekahau server by encapsulating the tag reports in a WASSP
tunnel and routing them as IP packets through the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller.
Note:
Tag reports are marked with UP=CS5, and DSCP = 0xA0. On the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, tag reports
are marked with UP=CS5 to the core (if 802.1p exists).
An AP’s tag report collection status is reported in the Wireless AP Inventory report. For more
information, see “Viewing Routing Protocol Reports” on page 16-20.
If availability is enabled, tag report transmission pauses on failed over APs until they are
configured and notified by the AeroScout/Ekahau server.
When AeroScout/Ekahau support is disabled on the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller does not communicate with the AeroScout/Ekahau server and the
APs do not perform any AeroScout/Ekahau-related functionality.
Ensure that your AeroScout/Ekahau tags are configured to transmit on all non-overlapping
channels (1, 6 and 11) and also on channels above 11 for countries where channels above 11 are
allowed. Refer to AeroScout/Ekahau documentation for proper deployment of the AeroScout/
Ekahau location-based solution.
