Appendix B—AeroScout Tag Manager Version 2.1
This is because in v2.1 of Tag Manager, the default setting for data frame format is IBSS as was seen
earlier in Figure 82. When an Apply is performed for all the options contained within the Advanced
Configuration > General Settings submenu shown in Figure 84, all the general settings are programmed
into the tag with the values indicated in Tag Manager 2.1, including whatever happens to be currently
set for the data frame format (recall that the default is IBSS in Tag Manager 2.1).

This overwrites any settings that might already be resident in the tag memory. Failure to ensure that the
data frame format is set to WDS instead of IBSS in Tag Manager 2.1 can result in tags not appearing on
the WCS location floor maps at all (it is not detected as an RFID tag or a WLAN client).
In some cases, the exact programming of an AeroScout T2 asset tag may be in question and may need
to be verified. Using Tag Manager v2.1, this is a straightforward process: simply right-click on any
detected tag shown on the right side of the Tag Manager configuration screen and click on Status, as
shown in Figure 85.
