Wireless location management
Wireless location locates online clients, rogue clients, rogue APs, and iNode clients so that operators
can determine the physical locations of wireless clients and rogue devices. Wireless location provides
the following functions:
• Real-time locating—WSM supports the following real-time locating methods:
{
MU locating—WSM adopts the fingerprint localization algorithm to perform wireless locating.
MU locating can only be performed by APs that support MU. It can locate multiple clients in
real time. Before locating wireless clients, you need to take samples in the locations where
APs are deployed.
{
iNode sampling-based wireless locating—WSM uses fingerprinting technology to locate
iNode clients that support wireless signal strength detection in real time. The administrator
can set permitted or denied areas. When an iNode client enters a denied area, the WSM
sends a notification or alarm to the administrator or logs off the iNode client according to
the action setting. Before locating these clients, administrators must set specific clients in the
monitored client list as sampling clients and perform sampling. WSM uses the sampled data
to determine the locations of iNode clients and displays them in the location topology.
• X-Share locating—X-Share locating can only be performed by APs that support X-Share antennas.
X-Share locating can fast locate clients without sampling.
• AP-based wireless locating—An AP can locate any wireless devices without sampling by
scanning wireless signals and analyzing signal strength. This function can locate clients, rogue
clients, and rogue APs.
• GIS locating—This function helps you locate the location view of an AP or mobile client on the
Mapbar map.
Energy policy management
Energy policy management allows you to configure and manage energy policies, such as:
• Scheduling startup and shutdown of APs or their radios
• Automatic adjustment of transmitting power for APs
• Scheduling start and stop of SSID services.
You can add, modify, delete, copy, suspend, or restore an energy policy.
Mesh configuration management
Mesh configuration management allows you to manage MP policy, mesh profile, mesh interface, and
peer MAC address configurations for a specific wireless device.
Network evaluation management
Network evaluation enables you to determine the AP operating status in an area to optimize your
network based on the evaluation results and records.
After you create an evaluation task, WSM periodically collects data for APs and clients in the
specified location view. When data collection is complete, WSM summarizes the collected data and
