    Posted Apr 11, 2016 01:03 PM

    Hi all, 

     

    I'm looking for a solution to manage two different RTLS servers for one AP group ? to be able to use two kind of tags.

     

    Is it possible ? how i can manage that ?

     

    Many thanks in advance.

     

    Best regards.

    As long as both RTLS servers are configured to transmit data to AirWave over the same port, and have the same RTLS Username/Password, then it should be possible to have both RTLS servers pointed at AirWave.

    Many thanks Rign for your answer,

     

    Yes the RTLS key and the UDP port are the same.

     

    But how you can setup the both server ? i can only add one server into the field ?

     

    Advanced Services > All Profile Management > AP > APSystem >Name of my profile > and Advanced tabs. Look the picture attached

     

    If i scroll down i only have one fied... where can i add the both server ?

     

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    I'll need to double check with the controller team on that one.  From AirWave end, in the lab, I'm able to receive 2 RTLS feeds, but they are originating from 2 separate controllers.

    It looks like the AP Groups won't allow multiple RTLS feeds.

     

    A workaround might be to split half the APs into 1 AP group, and the other half in another (the split needs to be according to deployment plan so that every other AP receives the chirp from the tags).  With everything the same except for RTLS.  Otherwise, you'll want to work in an RFE request through the controller side.

    Many many thanks for your help ! really useful !

     

    I'll think about split the AP into 2 groups....

     

    What's a RFE ?

    RFE = request for enhancement

    Unfortunately, I don't work directly with the controllers as much.  If splitting APs isn't an option, you might try opening at TAC case to see if they have any other ideas.  The idea to split into 2 AP groups came from TAC.
