X-Share locating
Only APs that support X-Share antennas can be used for X-Share locating. To use X-Share locating,
put the X-Share antenna icon in the correct place in the location view according to the actual situation.
The AP can obtain the rough location of a client. If the X-share locating fails, WSM assumes that the
client is near the X-Share antenna.
AP-based wireless locating
In AP-based wireless locating, APs scan wireless signals to locate wireless clients (including rogue
clients) and rogue APs. For example, a sampling AP estimates the distance between a client and each
AP. Then, WSM can obtain the rough location of the client and display it in the location view.
GIS locating
GIS locating is performed in GIS view. Before performing GIS locating, add location views to GIS
view, and set the longitude and latitude. Then WSM can locate fit APs, fat APs, or clients in GIS view
according to their location views.
By default, Map World is loaded in GIS view. Make sure IMC can be connected to the Internet so
that Map world can be loaded.
GIS locating is typically applied in enterprises that have multiples branches.
Terminology
• Received Signal Strength Indicator—RSSI indicates the received signal strength. WSM uses RSSI
to implement wireless locating.
• Location view—A view defined in WSM for wireless locating and RF management. You must
create a location view and set the background picture, and scale in the location view before
using the wireless locating function.
• GIS view—A view defined in WSM for GIS locating.
• Background picture—A background picture reflects the actual networking environment on the
topology. To ensure locating performance, set a correct scale for the background picture and
place sampling APs and sampling points on a correct position on the background picture.
• Sampling AP—An AP that is sampled by an iNode client in iNode-based sampling. A sampling
AP, including its location in a location view cannot be changed. If you change a sampling AP,
all sampling data becomes invalid, and you must perform sampling again to set a new RSSI
fingerprint database.
• Sampling point—For MU sampling, it is a device sampled by a sampling AP. Devices that can
be used as sampling points include WiFi mobile phones, PDAs, and laptops. For iNode-based
sampling, it is the iNode client that collects data of sampling APs. Set sampling points in a
location view.
• Concerned user—A concerned access user. In WSM, only the location of the terminal where the
iNode client used by a concerned user resides can be located. Before performing iNode-based
wireless locating, add access users in UAM as concerned users in WSM.
• Sampling terminal—A terminal that is installed with the iNode client and that can be set as a
sampling point. The terminal used by a concerned user can be set as a sampling point only
when set as a sampling point. Set a sampling terminal in WSM.
