WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Adding a location configuration group

Use the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to add a new location configuration group to your network topology definition. Then select several agents to associate with the new location configuration group.

About this task
A location configuration group consists of a name, description, and category. Locations in the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console are logical entities that correspond to the physical locations (indicated by the category) at which your physical devices, such as tag readers, are installed.

There are two kinds of locations: contained locations and container locations. Contained locations display underneath their respective container locations in the Locations panel. For example, you might add a container location for Store 1 and a contained location for Dock Door 1 at Store 1. You need to create a location for each store and dock door in the WebSphere Premises Server network.

Important: When creating a location topology:
  • Only locations without contained locations can be associated with devices.
  • Locations with associated devices cannot have contained locations.

WebSphere Premises Server comes with default location configuration groups. The Basic Dock Door location configuration group represents a dock door portal location that has only a switch and a reader. The Standard Dock Door configuration group represents a dock door portal location that has a motion sensor, switch, and a reader . The Enhanced Dock Door configuration group represents a dock door portal location that has a motion sensor, switch, barrier, and reader.
