n Enable Ekahau Positioning Engine Client™: Enables or disables the Ekahau Positioning
Engine Client feature.
l Ekahau Server Settings: Configures how the Ekahau Positioning Engine Client
communicates with the server.
l Server Hostname: The hostname or IP address of the Ekahau Positioning Engine. The
maximum length of this option is 50 characters. The default is 8548.
l Connection Protocol: Specifies whether to use TCP or UDP as the network transport. The
default is TCP.
l Server Port: The network port used for communication. In the default Ekahau
configuration, port 8548 uses TCP, and port 8549 uses UDP.
l Poll Rate: The time in seconds between each scan or wireless access points and
communication with the server. When the Ekahau Client is enabled, every time the Digi
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, it does not receiving or transmitting wireless packets. This could lead to packet loss.
Set the poll rate as slow as acceptable in the application that uses the Digi device. The
default is five seconds.
l Password: The password used to authenticate with the server. The maximum length of
this password is 50 characters. The default for Digi and the Ekahau Positioning Engine is
Llama.
n Device Descriptors:
l Device ID: A numeric identifier for the Digi device, used internally by the Ekahau Positioning
Engine for device tracking over time. Each Digi device located on the network requires a
unique identifier.
l Device Name: A descriptive name to identify the Digi device to users. The maximum length
of this device name is 50 characters.
