Item Description

Dilution Timeout

Specify the dilution timeout for the location packets, in the range of 1 to 60
seconds.

Engine Address

Specify the IP address of the location server.

An AP reports IP address change and device reboot events to the location server so that the location

server is able to respond in time. The AP reports a reboot message according to the IP address and port
information of the location server recorded in its flash.

The AP updates the data in the flash after receiving a configuration message. To protect the flash,
the AP does not update the flash immediately after receiving a configuration message, but waits for

10 minutes. If the AP receives another configuration message within 10 minutes, it only updates the

configuration information in the cache, and when the 10-minute timer is reached, it saves the cache

information in the flash.

If the AP reboots within 10 minutes after receiving the first configuration message, and no
configuration is saved in the flash, it does not send a reboot message to the location server.

Configuring radio-based wireless sniffer

When configuring radio-based wireless sniffer, follow these guidelines:

Auto APs do not support wireless sniffer.

Before you enable wireless sniffer, make sure the AP operates in run state (select Summary > AP to
verify the state of the AP). Wireless sniffer can be enabled for only one radio configured with a

fixed channel.

Wireless sniffer can be enabled only on one radio at one time.

The working mode of an AP cannot be changed when it is capturing packets.

Do not enable or run wireless services for the radio with wireless sniffer enabled. Disable all
wireless services before enabling wireless sniffer.

When the Capture AP is capturing packets, if the radio for which the wireless sniffer is disabled, it
automatically stops the sniffer operation, and the packets are saved to the file with the specified

name in the default storage medium. The default storage medium varies with device models.

To configure radio-based wireless sniffer:

1.

Select Advanced > Wireless Sniffer from the navigation tree.
