334 Configuring APs to be AeroScout listeners
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
Using WMS
If your network is modeled in a WLAN Management Software network plan, you can use WLAN Management Software
to locate devices that have AeroScout asset tags. This capability has the following requirements:
• Three or more listeners are required for optimal location results. WLAN Management Software will attempt to
display a tag’s location even if there are fewer than three listeners, but the location might not be accurate.
• The listener APs must be in the network plan, on the floor where the asset tags are located.
1 Connect to WLAN Management Software Services (the server) and open the network plan that contains
the site information.
2 Select the Monitor tool bar option (at the top of the main WLAN Management Software window). The
Monitor dashboard appears.
3 Under the Clients graph, click Details.
4 In the Manage menu of the Task List panel, select Find AeroScout Tag. The Find AeroScout Tags dialog
appears.
5 Enter the search criteria:
a Select Find all AeroScout Tags, or leave Find a specific AeroScout Tag selected and type the MAC
address of the asset tag.
b Select the search scope.
6 Click Next. A list of asset tags appears.
7 To locate an asset:
a Select its tag in the list.
b Select Locate AeroScout Tag.
A picture of the floor plan where the tag is located appears. The asset’s likely location is indicated.
