Adding a Mobility Services Engine to WCS

To add a Cisco 3300 Series Mobility Services Engine to WCS, log in to WCS and follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that you can ping the mobility services engine that you want to add from WCS.

Step 2 Choose Services > Mobility Services to display the Mobility Services page.

Step 3 From the Select a command drop-down list, choose Add Mobility Services Engine, and click Go.

Step 4 In the Device Name text box, enter a name for the mobility services engine.

Step 5 In the IP Address text box, enter the IP address of the mobility services engine.

Step 6 (Optional) In the Contact Name text box, enter the name of the mobility services engine administrator.

Step 7 In the User Name and Password text boxes, enter the username and password for the mobility services engine.

This refers to the WCS communication username and password created during the setup process.

If you did not specify the username and password during the setup process, use the default username and password, which are both admin.

Note If you changed the username and password during the automatic installation script, enter those values at this step. If you did not change the default password, and username, we recommend that you rerun the automatic installation script and change the username and password.

Step 8 Select the HTTP check box to allow communication between the mobility services engine and third-party applications.

Step 9 Select the Delete synchronized service assignments check box if you want to permanently remove all service assignments from the mobility services engine.

This option is applicable for network designs, wired switches, controllers, and event definitions. The existing location history data is retained, however, you must use manual service assignments to perform any future location calculations.

Step 10 Click Next. The Select Mobility Service page appears.

Step 11 To enable a service on the mobility services engine, select the check box next to that service.

Note A mobility services engine can support multiple services.

Step 12 Click Save.

Note After adding a new mobility services engine, you can synchronize network designs (campus, building, and outdoor maps), controllers, switches (Catalyst Series 3000 only), and event groups on the local mobility services engine using WCS. You canperform this synchronization immediately after adding a new mobility services engine or at a later time. To synchronize the local and WCS databases, see Chapter 3, "Synchronizing Mobility Services Engines".

Deleting a Mobility Services Engine from the Cisco WCS

To delete a mobility services engine from the WCS database, follow these steps:

Step 1 Choose Services > Mobility Services to display the Mobility Services page.

Step 2 Select the mobility services engine(s) to be deleted by selecting the corresponding check box(es).

Step 3 From the Select a command drop-down list, choose Delete Service(s), and click Go.

Step 4 Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the selected mobility services engine from the WCS database.

Step 5 Click Cancel to stop deletion.

Registering Client and wIPS Product Authorization Keys

You receive a product authorization key (PAK) when you order a client, wIPs or tag license from Cisco. You must register the PAK to receive the license file for install on the mobility services engine. License files are emailed to you after successfully registering a PAK.

Client and wIPS PAKs are registered with Cisco.

Note Tag PAKs are registered with AeroScout. For more information, see the Cisco Context-Aware Service Configuration Guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9806/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html

To register a PAK to obtain a license file for installion, follow these steps:

Step 1 Open a browser window and enter the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/license

Step 2 Enter the PAK and click SUBMIT (see Figure 2-1).

Step 3 Verify the license purchase. Click Continue if the license information is correct (see Figure 2-2). The licensee entry page appears (see Figure 2-3).

Note If the license is incorrect, click the TAC Service Request Tool link to report the problem.

Step 4 In the Designate Licensee page:

a. Enter the UDI of the mobility service engine in the host ID text box. This is the mobility services engine on which the license will be installed.

Note UDI information for a mobility services engine is found on the General Properties page at Services > Mobility Services Engine > Device Name > System.

b. Select the Agreement check box. Registrant information appears next to the Agreement check box (see Figure 2-4).

Modify the information as necessary.

Note Ensure that the phone number for the registrantand end user does not include any characters in the string. For example, enter 408 555 1212 rather than 408.555.1212 or 408-555-1212.
