Complete information on any displayed asset tag can be obtained by clicking on the yellow tag icon
associated with the tag. WCS responds with the information shown in Figure 17, including asset tag
vendor identifier, statistics, and tag properties (including battery status).
Figure 17 WCS RFID Tag—Detailed Information
Note that Figure 17 also includes a hyperlinked listing of location notifications as well as a miniature
location map of the asset tags location. By enabling the Location Debug parameter and enlarging the
map, WCS displays the last detected RSSI levels of each access point detecting the asset tag, as shown
in Figure 18. This RSSI information is collected in a similar fashion to that shown by the show rfid
detail <mac address> command discussed in Minimum Signal Level Thresholds, page 51, and provides
an alternative to the CLI command for determining the detected RSSI of asset tags. As can be seen in
Figure 18, additional information regarding the radio type and age of the last detected signal strength
reading is available by performing a mouse-over of any access point.
