Activate Go
Activate Go is an installer’s Android app that completes the automatic configuration of an Aruba Access Point in the Activate system.
Touch the ‘login’ area at the top of the screen to enter the installer’s Activate credentials. This will give access to the same data seen on the Activate web page.
First enter the serial number or MAC address of the AP, either by barcode scanning (this uses a separate app, you will be taken to the app store and prompted to download if it isn’t present) or keyboard entry.When a valid serial number or MAC is entered, pressing the button will query the Activate database. If the lookup is successful (the AP is known to Activate and is assigned to the installer’s organization) the app will bring up a new page with current details of the AP.
Touching anywhere on the screen allows the installer to change 4 fields in the AP Activate record:- The AP name (mandatory field)- The AP folder (mandatory field, from a pull-down list of the list of folders Activate allows this AP to be allocated to, not the default folder)- The AP long name (optional field)- The AP description (optional field)
If the Android device has a good (non-zero) latitude/longitude from GPS, that location is automatically added to the AP description field. A further lookup attempts to find the street address associated with that location (not 100% accurate!) and this address is added if available (location information can be deleted manually).When the button is pressed, the new data updates the AP’s Activate record. A message shows the status returned from Activate, with some additional information in the case of failure.
Field checking:- Serial Number 9 alpha-numeric characters (app converts to upper-case)- MAC 12 hex characters, or 17 hex characters with “:” separators (app converts to upper-case)- AP name max 50 characters, no spaces- AP long name max 50 characters- AP description max 120 characters
