Locate a Device

Using a visual cue helps you quickly identify the exact position of a selected device within the mapped area. By triggering the blinking function, you can efficiently manage and troubleshoot your network, ensuring optimal performance and coverage.

Use this task to locate the physical location of a selected device.

Go to Manage > Real Time Maps.
From the Global View location list, select a floor or use the Search field to search for a specific site, building, or floor.

Note
The Search field helps you find a specific location in a large network. Enter the first few characters to see a list of locations. The more characters you enter, the more precise the search results will be.

Note
The selected floor must include a floor plan. For more information, see Add a Floor Plan.
Select a connected device from the floor plan, and then select the Actions tab.
