Device Location Configuration
The Device Location feature can help you physically locate APs and other WLAN devices in different buildings
and on multiple floors of a building. You can configure the information manually or use the WLAN Visualization
tool to place the managed APs on floor plans, and then import the Building Floor objects with their associated
APs from the WLAN Visualization tool to the switch. The location computation is performed by the Cluster
Controller switch. You can use the WLAN Visualization tool to trigger the location search and to display the
computed probability map.
Use the
Device Location Configuration
