Prerequisites

Infrastructure configuration

Before kicking off the activation process, ensure that:
  • The Cisco WLC infrastructure is connected to Cisco Spaces
  • Floor maps and access points are configured in Cisco Prime Infrastructure then imported into Cisco Spaces or
  • Floor maps and access points are configured in Cisco DNA Center then synchronised in Cisco Spaces

Linking the location hierarchy

Locatee Analytics organises occupancy data into sites, buildings and floors. For correct occupancy reporting, Cisco Spaces location hierarchy needs to match with Locatee building hierarchy. See example below:
  • Cisco Spaces Building A > Locatee Building A
    • Floor 1 > Floor 1
    • Floor 2 > Floor 2
    • Floor 3 > Floor 3
Check that both platforms have a matching location hierarchy. If you are unsure, contact your Locatee Project Manager.
