The client information gathered by ALE can be used for business purposes by analyzing a client's Internet behavior such as shopping preferences. ALE includes a location engine that calculates the associated and unassociated device location every 30 seconds by default. For every device on the network, ALE provides the following information through the Northbound API: l Client username l IP address l MAC address l Device type l Application firewall data showing the destinations and applications used by associated devices l Current location l Historical location ALE requires the W-IAP placement data to be able to calculate location for the devices in a network. ALE with Instant The Instant 6.3.1.1-4.0 release supports Analytics and Location Engine (ALE). The ALE server acts as a primary interface to all third-party applications and the W-IAP sends client information and all status information to the ALE server. To integrate W-IAP with ALE, the ALE server address must be configured on a W-IAP. If the ALE sever is configured with a host name, the VC performs a mutual certificated-based authentication with the ALE server before sending any information. Enabling ALE Support on a W-IAP You can configure a W-IAP for ALE support by using the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI Configuring ALE support: 1. Click More > Services. 2. Click the RTLS tab. 3. Select the Analytics & Location Engine check box. Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide Services | 289
