Pre-Installation checks

Requirements for the LIPI server

  • Can be virtual or physical, does not matter.

    • No OVA currently available, one of the supported OSes needs to be installed.

    • Supported Operating systems: Newest stable Ubuntu or Debian.

    • Server/Virtual Machine(VM) specs: Tested to work with single Core VM with 3.5 GB Ram and 7 GB HDD.

Requirements for the network

  • Open port 443 from LIPI server to CMX (https for API).

    • Open port 443 from all wireless clients to LIPI (https for position requests).

    • Traffic from Wireless Clients to LIPI must not pass through NAT.

Requirements for the CMX 

  • CMX set up with Location services activated and sufficient licenses.

    • Building maps, with correct map scaling and a minimum of 3 GPS markers per floor need to be set up on Cisco Prime, exported and imported into CMX.

      • GPS markers should use coordinates created using MazeMaps own map. MazeMap provides a tool for generating these. You can find the POI inspector-tool here: https://debug.mazemap.com/

    • Access points must be placed correctly (within a meter of actual location) in the maps in Cisco Prime.

    • A CMX GUI user for MazeMap with Full Read Only privileges set up on MSE/CMXCMX (MSE is not supported at the moment).

    • A CMX CLI API user with full Read and API access. Both CMX GUI and CLI users should have the same username/password

      • To create a CMX CLI user ssh into your CMX and run the following command: cmxos apiserver user add
        You will be asked to type in a username and password for the user - use the same username and password as you used for the GUI user.

    • Enable the apiserver on the CMX

      • To do so, ssh into the cmx and run the command:

        • cmxos apiserver enable

        • cmxos apiserver restart
