How to Configure Sensor Pro as a Remote GPS for WiFi Scanner 1.4

Note: Prior to using these programs make sure that both devices are connected to the same access point and that the access point allows client-to-client broadcast message communications.

WiFi Scanner 1.4 has been released on the Mac OS X App Store. The WiFi Scanner 1.4 has a “Listener” feature, which allows the WiFi Scanner 1.4 to “listen” to signals that are sent from a device running Sensor Pro iOS app. Sensor Pro is currently available on the App Store for iOS devices. These two devices work synchronously together, with the iOS mobile device, sending data to the WiFi Scanner 1.4 for every GPS update on the iOS device.

This tutorial will help explain how to set up WiFi Scanner and Sensor Pro to work together.

First, open up WiFi Scanner 1.4 and select the “Listener” Tab.

Then select the “Browse” button, in order to select a folder where you would like to save the log.

After you select a folder for your Log file to be saved, go over to your iOS device and open Sensor Pro.

Go to your “Settings” tab in Sensor Pro and make sure that at the very least that the “GPS” is switched on. The other options can be on as well, but the data is transmitted to the WiFi Scanner through the GPS.

Scroll down the settings and make sure that the UDP Broadcast is turned on and that the “Broadcast Port” matches the “Listener Port” on the WiFi Scanner

Then you can go back to the “Record” Section in Sensor Pro.

Now we have to go back to the WiFi Scanner 1.4 and tell the scanner to start listening for signals from the Sensor Pro

Now go back to Sensor Pro and click the “Start” button and you will start seeing the information from the Sensor Pro being sent and logged in the WiFi Scanner.

The data for the WiFi Scanner is displayed as such: Date, Time, MAC Address, SSID of router, Signal Strength, Latitude, Longitude.

This is how you run WiFi Scanner 1.4 and Sensor Pro in order to use the mobile iOS devices as the broadcaster and the Mac OS X machine as the Listener for GPS data.

Topology -> Hierarchy – WLAN Controller Documentation

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Blog Team

Topology -> Hierarchy

This portion of the WLAN Controller documentation will describe how the hierarchy works in the “Topology” tab. Hierarchy will allow you to organize your devices by user determined categories and sub categories. Use of this hierarchy feature will help layout the devices in a clean and orderly fashion, and also allow the user to conveniently view devices based on certain characteristics.

In the “Topology” Tab, select the “Hierarchy” Tab in order to view and change hierarchy settings.

Under “Hierarchy” a folder with the users profile ID will be present along with the devices that belong to that profile ID.

In order to add sub-groups, simply right-click the profile ID and select “Add New Sub Group”

This will prompt you with a menu box to choose what you would like to name the new group.

After you have added all the sub groups that you would like, you can select the “+” button next to the profile ID to view all of the available groups. These groups can also have sub groups and they are done the same way, by right-clicking the group you want to file under and then selecting “Add New Sub Group.” Groups can also be renamed or deleted by right-clicking the group name and selecting “Rename Group” or “Delete Group”, respectively.

In order to effectively use this hierarchy classification, then devices must be able to be added to the groups in order to have an organized topology for your devices. This can be done by selecting the profile ID in this case “48VA6H”, holding the “tab” button on the keyboard and double clicking. This will produce a list on the right hand side of all the available devices for the user to organize in the topology.

Now in order to organize these devices by group, select one of the devices, click and hold, and then drag it to the folder which you would like to associate the device with.

This will add the device which was dragged, to the folder “Floor 3” and now when you select that folder, only the devices that are associated with that folder in the topology will be presented on the right side table.
