For example, here is a sample report for the 3 different Locales:The report flags following types of problems and indicates the fix:• Malfunctioning Location APs, not enough Location APs• RF Fingerprints the Tracking Engine has trouble distinguishing• Human error (e.g. RF fingerprints that are too large/small, duplicate, or for which no RF data was captured). Beforemoving on to the walkthrough stage, problems can be addressed and the report rerun until the report indicates thatthere are no problems.The following sections elaborate on the causes and suggested responses to each of the problems the Evaluator is able tocatch.Location APs malfunctioningThis error appears if a Location AP that can be reporting has failed to deliver consistent data.Empty RF FingerprintsThe Calibration RF Fingerprints page allows you to name RF fingerprints and bind them to locales before calibration, sothat the capturing of RF Fingerprint data can be handled by a different person from the person who is selecting the localeand RF Fingerprint names. This opens up the possibility that some RF Fingerprint names will be entered into the systembut the Tracking Engine will lack the required RF data. If this happens, then the missing RF Fingerprint data can becaptured.Duplicate RF FingerprintsDuplicate RF fingerprints are the result of two types of human error:• Two of your personnel have independently captured RF data for the same RF Fingerprint• Calibration is occurring at a date after the names have been entered and bound to locales, and the wrong RFFingerprint is selected from the drop down list (e.g. the person is in Conference Room A, but selects ConferenceRoom B from the list). In the first instance, all duplicate RF fingerprints can be deleted; in the second, the RFFingerprint can be bound to the correct locale and new data captured.
