AP Assisted Tracking
In order to get AP assisted location tracking working with the NX and VX controllers, the WiOS
controller must be enabled so that RSSI data can be passed to ADSP. There are procedures for BSSs and
Wireless Clients tracking. Refer BSS Tracking and Ciient Tracking.
Note
This is only for the controller infrastructure. The 5.x version of APs do not require this sort of
configuration. The Cisco WLC does not require configuration to enable AP assisted location
tracking.
BSS Tracking
For BSS tracking, the Enhanced Beacon table on the RFSX000 controller must be enabled.
1. Log into the RFSX000.
2. Navigate to Security > Enhanced Probe/Beacon Table > Beacon Table.
3. Select the Enable Enhanced Beacon Table check box.
4. In the Channel Set fields, enable the channels for each radio that you want to scan.
5. Leave the default values for Scan Interval, Scan Time, and Maximum number of APs fields.
6. Click Apply.
7. Navigate to Network > Access Port Radios.
8. Double-click on the B/G radio of the AP650.
9. Select the Enable Enhanced Beacon Table check box.
10. Click Apply.
11. Repeat Step 9 and Step 10 for the A radio.
12. Save the configuration.
13. Restart the controller. (If you are going to enable the enhanced probe table, follow the directions
provided below before restarting the switch.)
Verify Location Tracking
To verify Location Tracking with this setup:
1. Navigate to Security > Enhanced Probe/Beacon Table > Beacon Table.
2. Click the Beacon Found tab.
Verify that this page is being populated with rogue AP and signal strength data.
3. In the Portal MAC column, verify that the radio MAC of your AP650 is displayed.
4. The column next to the Portal MAC column is the Rogue AP MAC detected by the portal.
5. Copy one the Rogue AP MAC addresses detected by the AP650 radio (A or B/G).
6. In AirDefense, drag the AP650 to a floor plan with 2 other sensors.
7. Attempt to track the device that matches the previously recorded MAC address.
If the target device is detected by the other 2 sensors, location tracking should work.
Client Tracking
In order to activate Wireless Client tracking, you must enable the Enhanced Probe table on the
RFSX000 controller. This allows an AP to forward an MU probe request data to the controller.
You must manually enter the MAC address for each Wireless Client that you wish to track into the
preferred Wireless Client (MU) list. If you want to track multiple rogue Wireless Clients, you have to
