Device Location Configuration

The Device Location feature can help you physically locate APs and other WLAN devices in different buildings

and on multiple floors of a building. You can configure the information manually or use the WLAN Visualization

tool to place the managed APs on floor plans, and then import the Building Floor objects with their associated

APs from the WLAN Visualization tool to the switch. The location computation is performed by the Cluster

Controller switch. You can use the WLAN Visualization tool to trigger the location search and to display the

computed probability map.

Use the Device Location Configuration page to configure settings for the Device Location feature.
