Defining Stationary Devices
VisualRF provides the ability to statically assign a permanent location to stationary devices like PCs, Scales, and Point-
of-Sale terminals. This will reduce the calculation requirements on the VisualRF location service and increase the
accuracy of the RF characteristics of individual floor plans.

this client is static.
