WLSE - Location Manager

[etmarcof]

Hi,

I'm using patch antennas with my 1200 series AP's.

These antenas are directional, but in Location Manager in WLSE 2.7 i saw signal strengh and data rates of these AP's as if i'm using omni directional antenas i.e circular radition.

It's possible to change that ?

1) Directional Antennas are only supported in WLSE 2.9 and later. In 2.7, all antennas are assumned Omni directional. See 'New Features': http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cwparent/cw_1105/wlse/2_9/wlsern.htm#wp1046785

2) Also, make sure that if the APs have any 802.11G radio installed in them, the IOS is 12.2(15)JA or later. Other wise, due to an earlier IOS bug, the radio interface type show up incorrectly in WLSE and corresponding radio data/coverage shows up wrong as well.

I have several customers with WLSE 2.9.

In Location Manager I have never seen any configuration for directional antennas.

It doesn't make sense for this because only data

from radio scanning and radio monitoring is displayed.

Hi,

I have upgraded to WLSE 2.9.1a.

And i have to upgrade AP to 12.3(2)JA2 because is the minimum ios supported for radio monitoring and location manager, etc...

Then in location manager when i select on AP and right click i select edit antena>radio type but didn't open any window where i choose antena type and setting like manual says.

Anyone have this problem?

See 'Editing Antenna Placement': http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cwparent/cw_1105/wlse/2_9/u_gd/loc_mgr.htm#wp1585381

Basically, you have to select the AP icon, right click->Edit Antenna Placement, select the Freq and then yuo should see the window with Antenna Type pull-down menu

Hi,

I have seen that document already.

I found that there some kind of bug,sometimes in location manager when i choose one floor, the image of that floor didn't load i can only see AP's but i can't see Floor background image.

When this happens edit anntenna placement works and opens a window where i can choose antena types etc.

When Background image of floor appears and when i choose edit antenna placement didn't work.

I don't know if its a java problem or Wlse problem.

Could someone please check if they have same problem?

I came to the forum with this same question today. Appreciate you already having the answer waiting.

I've now tried the recommendations and can confirm that it does indeed function in my environment.

WLSE 2.9

AP1200 12.3

2012 Antenna

Also, You might check the transparency setting on your imported floormap image. I have mine set to be fairly dim.
