Using AeroScout
Figure 3: Figure 1 – AeroScout Network Diagram
In addition to Meru standard Wi-Fi infrastructure, AeroScout Location Receivers and
Exciters can be deployed for time-different of arrival (TDOA) locationing and choke
points respectively.
Configuring AeroScout
Tracking tags is done from the AeroScout product using a Meru controller and APs. To
configure a Meru controller to work with AeroScout, use the command aeroscout
enable as shown here:
controller(config)# aeroscout ?
<option> Enable/Disable AeroScout Feature.
disable Disable
enable Enable
controller(config)#
Location Accuracy
Since RSSI values are the basis of the location calculation, the access point must
match its channel with the tag’s transmission channel, and drop tag messages that
were transmitted on a channel other than that of the access point. The matching is
implemented because tag reports contain the transmission channel in each message.
