AeroScout Syslog Error Messages
AeroScout Mobile Unit
AeroScout offers Wi-Fi-based solutions for Real Time Location Service (RTLS). The
following devices support AeroScout tag based location management:
 AP400
 AP300
 AP200
 AP150
Meru System Director supports the AeroScout Mobile Unit (Laptops, VOIP Phones) or
Compounded Reporting and Generic AP Notification support only on the AP300.
The AeroScout Mobile Unit architecture is displayed in Figure 5. The following is the
high-level process that occurs in the implementation:
 Wi-Fi mobile units send wireless frames to one or more APs.
 The AP sends reports for each Wi-Fi mobile unit (by using a dilution mechanism to
control traffic between AP and Engine) to the AeroScout Engine.
