If the locator APs are not able to determine the location of a device, the Device Location status indicates that
the device is not located. A device might not be found if, for example, the search APs are unable to triangulate
on the target device. The ability to locate a device and the search radius of the probable location are
dependent, in part, on the location of the locator APs in relation to each other and to the device to be found.
If a device is located, but it outside of the graph boundaries, a green arrow appears on the perimeter of the
graph. Right-click the arrow to view information about the coordinates of the located device.
