Locating an RFID Tag
You can use an AeroScout Engine or 3Com Wireless Switch Manager to
locate an asset to which an RFID tag is attached.
Using an AeroScout
Engine
1 Load the site map in AeroScout System Manager.
2 Mark the origin point (0,0), if not already done.
3 Calibrate distance, if not already done.
4 Add each MAP configured as a listener to the map, and enter its IP
address.
To look up a Distributed MAP IP address, use the display ap status
command.
5 Enable RSSI location calculation.
6 Enable tag positioning.
7 Enable the map to use the MAPs.
To check the status of a MAP, right-click on the MAP icon and select
Status .
Using 3Com Wireless
Switch Manager
If your network is modeled in a 3Com Wireless Switch Manager network
plan, you can use 3Com Wireless Switch Manager to locate devices that
have AeroScout asset tags. This capability requires the following:
„
Three or more listeners are required for optimal location results. 3Com
Wireless Switch Manager 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 MAPs must be in the network plan, on the floor where
the asset tags are located.
