AP RTLS

The RTLS (real time locationing system) enables accurate location determination and presence detection capabilities for Wi-Fi-based devices, Wi-Fi-based active RFID tags and passive RFID tags. While the operating system does not support locationing locally, it does report the locationing statistics of both Aeroscout and Ekahau tags.

To review a selected access point's RTLS statistics:

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Expand the System node from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). The System node expands to display the RF Domains created within the managed network.
3. Expand an RF Domain node, and select one of it's connected access points. The access point's statistics menu displays in the right-hand side of the screen, with the Health tab selected by default.
4. Select the RTLS tab.
   The Statistics > AP > RTLS screen is displayed.
