AeroScout RTLS
AeroScout RTLS
MSM APs and MSM service controllers can be used to provide the Wi-Fi infrastructure for an
AeroScout Real-Time Location Tracking (RTLS) system. MSM APs, AeroScout Wi-Fi RFID
tags, and the AeroScout MobileView software work together for the purpose of wirelessly
tracking the location of valuable assets in real time. The service controller forwards
AeroScout tag information from controlled APs to a computer running the AeroScout Engine
and MobileView software.

The Aeroscout monitoring
functions in the APs are

Note HP ProCurve Networking does not sell or promote AeroScout products. Contact
AeroScout for information on obtaining its MobileView software, Wi-Fi RFID tags, and
associated hardware. Consult the AeroScout documentation for deployment information.
To work with MSM APs, the Wi-Fi RFID tags must be configured to send data in the WDS
format (4 addresses). Channel allocation on the AP and tag must match as well.

AeroScout support is only available for controlled APs, with radios configured as Access
point only or Access point and Local mesh, and operating in the 2.4 GHz band.
To configure the service controller (and all its controlled APs) to work with AeroScout:
