Chapter 10 Configuring and Using Location Appliances
Configuring Location Appliances
Editing Location Appliance Polling Parameters
After you add a location appliance to the WCS database you can modify the independent Client, Rogue
Access Point, Asset Tag, and Statistics polling periods that the location appliance uses to poll its
associated controllers. Note that these polling periods are independent of the number of times that WCS
users request a data refresh from the location appliance.
Step 1 In the Cisco WCS interface, select LOCATE to display the All Location Appliances page.
Step 2 Click the server name to display the Location Appliance > General Properties > appliance-name page.
Step 3 In the left navigation bar, click Polling Parameters to display the Location Appliance > Polling
Parameters > appliance-name page.
Step 4 Configure these settings:
• Retry Count: Enter the number of times to retry a polling cycle between 1 and 99999. The default
setting is 3. The Retry Count generally does not need to be changed from the default.
• Timeout: Enter the number of seconds for a polling timeout between 1 and 99999. The default
setting is 5 seconds. The Timeout generally does not need to be changed from the default.
• Client Station Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number
of seconds between Client polling attempts between 1 and 99999. Polling is disabled by default with
a 300-second interval. You might want to leave Client Polling disabled, and you might want to
change the Polling Interval to a shorter value for more granular data collection or to a longer value
for less granular data collection.
Note The Polling Interval is the period between the end of a preceding polling cycle and the beginning of the
next polling cycle. That is, if the polling cycles take five minutes to complete, and the Polling Interval
is ten minutes, the time between the start of polling cycles is fifteen minutes.
• Rogue AP Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of
seconds between rogue access point polling attempts between 1 and 99999. Polling is disabled by
default with a 600-second interval. You might want to leave rogue access point Polling off, and you
might want to change the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data
collection, respectively.
• Asset Tag Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of
seconds between Asset Tag polling attempts between 1 and 99999. Polling is disabled by default
with a 600-second interval. You might want to leave Asset Tag Polling off, and you might want to
change the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection,
respectively.
Note Before the location appliance can collect asset tag data, the controllers to which it is associated
must have RFID status enabled through this CLI command: config rfid status enable.
• Statistics Polling and Interval: Select the check box to turn Polling on, and enter the number of
seconds between Statistics polling attempts between 1 and 99999. Polling is disabled by default with
a 900-second interval. You might want to leave Statistics Polling off, and you might want to change
the Polling Interval to a shorter or longer value for more or less granular data collection,
respectively.
