334 Configuring APs to be AeroScout listeners

Using WMS

If your network is modeled in a WLAN Management Software network plan, you can use WLAN Management Software
to locate devices that have AeroScout asset tags. This capability has the following requirements:
• Three or more listeners are required for optimal location results. WLAN Management Software 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 APs must be in the network plan, on the floor where the asset tags are located.
