secured. Involved in this process are the following tasks: deploying and administering the Location APs, entering
the names of the locales to be tracked, capturing the RF data necessary to create a ‘fingerprint’ for each locale,
running the Evaluator to determine the usefulness of captured RF fingerprint data, and walking through the site to
verify tracking accuracy. It also explains the User Interface for the Nortel WLAN Location Engine. This includes
system summary information, device monitoring, Location AP configuration, tracking setup and calibration, and
system settings for tracking and other behavior.
It describes how to visualize the space monitored by the Nortel WLAN Location Engine by establishing a
connection to the Nortel WLAN Location Engine, creating layouts (maps) of each monitored area of your
organization, and displaying live views of your wireless network.
