Locator Details Table

Locators are key components of the Quuppa system, receiving radio signals from the tags and forwarding them to the Quuppa Positioning Engine (QPE) for processing into positioning estimates. Due to their crucial role in the operation of the system, it is important to have a more detailed view into the performance and state of each individual Locator. This is what the Locator Details table is for.

The Locator Details table is the place to go for monitoring the status of the Locators. It provides a wide range of information for each individual Locator in your system, including indicators that help in assessing which Locators might be malfunctioning (e.g. unexpectedly offline) or struggling with air interface load issues (e.g. losing too many packets to provide optimal positioning performance) or running old firmware versions that need to be updated to improve performance.

This section will show you how to access and use the Locator Details table.

Using the Locator Details Table

To get to the Locator Details table:

  1. Open the QPE Web Console's main view (e.g. at http://localhost:8080/qpe/).
  2. In the Hardware section, find the Locators Online row and click on the Locator Details table link.

  3. The Locator Details table will open. Use the available information to check if all of the Locators are working as they should and whether any adjustments to the project settings are needed to optimise performance. For more information about each column, please see the Locator Details Table Definitions section.
