Zebra Locationing Provider service must run continuously in the background.
FTM Enable:
Specify whether to enable or disable Zebra Locationing Provider service.
Enable: Enables the Zebra Location Provider service.
Disable: Disables the Zebra Location Provider service. For example, the application can only access Google's native RTT features for raw distance measuring.
Enable state is is required for the further solutions parameters.
The Default is Enabled in factory image of Enterprise device models. The Default is Disabled in Professional device models which do not include the Zebra’s mDNA license. In those devices, if the mDNA license is pre-installed (or once it is installed), the FTMEnable param is automatically set to Enable.
FTMDeployment Mode:
Choose the desired deployment mode.
Standard (FTM-enabled): Use this option when devices are deployed in WLAN infrastructure APs that support FTM/802.11mc.
Enhanced-Infra (FTM-enabled): Use this option when devices are deployed in WLAN infrastructure in which the APs of the primary network (providing normal connectivity) are not FTM-capable, and a separate set of APs that are FTM-capable are specifically added to the system for the purpose of FTM and those APs do not provide connectivity.
Standard (FTM-enabled) is the default configuration when FTMEnable is set to Enable.
FTM AP Source:
The Zebra Locationing Provider needs the knowledge of the AP (FTM-capable) position coordinates to identify the device's Global or relative Local location in the three-dimensional space. The AP's positions can be conveyed to the device dynamically via AP's Beacons Information Element (IE) using WGS format (GPS) given that the WLAN APs system is configured and provisioned with LCI and LCR data, or in manual-specific format (meters/feet) reflecting the relative Local Grid coordinates, hard-coded XML file.
Supported Modes are Location via XML & Location via AP LCI configuration.
Location XML: Use this option if the AP is unable to send its GPS position coordinates as part of LCI IE. The administrator must manually insert all AP coordinates into an XML file. (AP position is determined using a ground reference point.) See example ZML file in Sample XML File Format section.
By selecting this option, the FTM Deployment File option is enabled, allowing the user to input the XML path for the floor.
The XML file (floormap.xml) for the floor plan must be relocated to the device's SD card path using FileMgr CSP. See Deploying XML with FileMgr CSP.
The location from API (LCR/LCI): Choose this option if the APs are configured and provisioned with their GPS coordinates and can broadcast LCI data as part of the 802.11mc frames.
Location XML is the default configuration when FTMEnable is set to Enable.
FTMDeployment_File:
This option is only accessible if the FTM AP Source setup includes Location XML. The same path must be supplied once the FTM deployment file has been copied to the SDcard path on the device through FileMgr CSP . For further information, see Deploying XML using FileMgr CSP.
