324 CHAPTER 15: CONFIGURING MAPS TO BE AEROSCOUT LISTENERS
Configuring MAP
Radios to Listen for
AeroScout RFID
Tags
To configure MAP radios to listen for AeroScout RFID tags:
Configure a service profile for the AeroScout listeners and set the SSID
type to clear (unencrypted).
Configure a radio profile for the AeroScout listeners.
Disable RF Auto-Tuning of channels on the radio profile. Channels on
RFID tags are statically configured. Therefore, the listener should not
dynamically change channels.
Disable active scan on the radio profile. When active scan is enabled,
radios go off-channel for brief intervals to scan for rogues.
Enable RFID mode on the radio profile. RFID mode allows MAP radios
to accept Aeroscout Engine commands. A MAP will forward RFID tags
to an Aeroscout Engine after receiving an Enable Access Point
command from the Aeroscout Engine.
Map the AeroScout listeners’ service profile to the radio profile.
Set the channel on each radio to the channel on which the RFID tags
transmit. You can use the same channel on all the RFID tags.
Map the MAP radios to the radio profile and enable the radios.
A MAP always forwards RFID tag information to its WX switch, even if
RFID mode is disabled.
The following example shows the commands to configure three MAPs to
be AeroScout listeners. This example assumes that the MAPs have already
been installed and configured.
