Description

Activate Go is an installer’s Android app thatcompletes the automatic configuration of an Aruba Access Point inthe Activate system.

Touch the ‘login’ area at the top of the screen to enter theinstaller’s Activate credentials. This will give access to the samedata seen on the Activate web page.

First enter the serial number or MAC address of the AP, eitherby barcode scanning (this uses a separate app, you will be taken tothe app store and prompted to download if it isn’t present) orkeyboard entry.
When a valid serial number or MAC is entered, pressing the buttonwill query the Activate database. If the lookup is successful (theAP is known to Activate and is assigned to the installer’sorganization) the app will bring up a new page with current detailsof the AP.

Touching anywhere on the screen allows the installer to change 4fields in the AP Activate record:
- The AP name (mandatory field)
- The AP folder (mandatory field, from a pull-down list of the listof folders Activate allows this AP to be allocated to, not thedefault folder)
- The AP long name (optional field)
- The AP description (optional field)

If the Android device has a good (non-zero) latitude/longitudefrom GPS, that location is automatically added to the APdescription field. A further lookup attempts to find the streetaddress associated with that location (not 100% accurate!) and thisaddress is added if available (location information can be deletedmanually).
When the button is pressed, the new data updates the AP’s Activaterecord. A message shows the status returned from Activate, withsome additional information in the case of failure.

Field checking:
- Serial Number 9 alpha-numeric characters (app converts toupper-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
