4 If a discovered controller is of no interest, select it from amongst the discovered devices displayed
and click the
Delete button.
Once removed, the located device cannot be selected and its Web UI displayed.
5 Select a discovered device from amongst those located and displayed within the Recently Found
Devices screen and click the
Launch button to display the Web UI for that controller.
CAUTION
When launching the Web UI of a discovered device, take care not to make configuration changes rendering the
device ineffective in respect to its current configuration.
Locationing
RTLS Overview
The Extreme Networks Real Time Locationing System (RTLS) is a wireless radio frequency solution that
continually monitors and reports the real-time location of tracked resources. Unlike competing
solutions, which are based solely on WI-Fi, the Extreme Networks solution is RF agnostic and supports
passive RFID, active RFID and other emerging RF and non-RF technologies. Extreme Networks's
location solution leverages standards based Wi-Fi access points and RFID readers, so no proprietary
infrastructure is needed. By using standard 802.11 access points and Wi-Fi tags, a Wi-Fi network can
now work as the backbone for data, voice, video and also serve sensor networks for a real-time location
system. This quickly translates into faster deployment and improved cost-effectiveness.RTLS delivers
end-user applications based on:
●
The location of mobile devices (devices with location enabling technology, such as a WiFi supported
handheld, Wi-Fi laptop or cell phone)
●
The location of an attached tag (a location enabled mobile device in miniaturized form, for example
a WiFi tag, UWB tag or RFID tag that is attached to a person, vehicles or a package)
An Extreme Networks WLAN controller can facilitate true RF technology-agnostic mobility, allowing
customers to view, manage and troubleshoot their RF network (Wi-Fi, RFID, UWB, mesh etc.) and
provide accurate asset locationing information across multiple networks in real-time.
SOLE - Smart Opportunistic Location Engine
SOLE is an on-board location engine using a combination of innovative algorithms to determine
location based on asset type. SOLE fuses the location information reported by several technologies into
one seamless environment to get more meaningful results.
SOLE helps locate assets (including rogues) including passive tags, semi-passive tags, active tags
(UWB,802.11, RFID etc) and MUs. SOLE returns the location of passive tags as seen by mobile RFID
readers by combining the 802.11 reader’s location with RFID antenna direction/location data.
Profile used for
Discovery
Displays the profile selected from within the Discovery Profiles tab and
used with the Start Discovery function to discover devices within the
controller managed network. If the group of devices discovered and
displayed within the Recently Found Devices tab does not represent the
device demographic needed, consider going back to the Discovery Profiles
tab and selected a different profile for the controller discovery process.
