5.8 Configuring SOLE Support

The switch has the ability to use Smart Opportunistic Location Engine (SOLE) adapters to assist in the
locationing of devices within the switch managed network. The switch currently supports the use of
AeroScout SOLE adapters.
AeroScout adapters use standard wireless networks to locate assets and utilize the switch managed
network to assist in asset tracking, process automation, theft prevention and increased utilization and
bandwidth. The AeroScout engine processes information received from the switch to produce location and
presence data for assets tagged with AeroScout's Wi-Fi-based RFID Tags. For SOLE configuration and
support data, refer to the following:
