Defining a location id

The LLDP-MED Location Identification extension enables the RUCKUS device to set the physical location that an attached Class III Endpoint will use for location-based applications. This feature is important for applications such as IP telephony, for example, where emergency responders need to quickly determine the physical location of a user in North America that has just dialed 911.

For each port, you can define one or more of the following location ID formats:

  • Geographic location (coordinate-based)
  • Civic address
  • Emergency Call Services (ECS) Emergency Location Identification Number (ELIN)

The above location ID formats are defined in the following sections.

In this section:

  1. Coordinate-based location
  2. Configuring civic address location
  3. Configuring emergency call service
