Enhanced Location Tracking for Jabber Clients
The Enhanced Location Tracking allows Unified Communications Manager along with Emergency Responder tracks the physical location of wireless Cisco Jabber clients. The location is tracked through a wireless access point which serves as the location identifier.
Unified Communications Manager can synchronize all the wireless access points deployed in the infrastructure through a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) synchronization or through a manual import using Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). Using AXL discovery, the Emergency Responder administrators can learn about the various access points through the Unified Communications Manager. The Emergency Responder administrator defines emergency response locations (ERLs) for these access points and corresponding 911 call treatment. Cisco Jabber clients, if defined by the Policy in Unified Communications Manager, sends their upstream infrastructure information like BSSID and any subsequent changes to Emergency Responder. Emergency Responder provides ERL treatment to Cisco Jabber clients based on the associated access point.
Note |
Emergency Responder AXL discovery runs every 2 minutes (by default) to identify a location update (Access Point BSSID) and so can be identified within 2 to 4-min period. If the system is running large number of Jabber clients or load conditions, administrators can change the frequency accordingly. Any AXL communication error is reported through the Event Viewer and the administrator must take corrective actions immediately. |
