•From the Clients page, click the User Name of the client you want to locate. Cisco WCS
displays the corresponding Clients <client name> page.
•From the Clients <client name> page, you have two choices for locating the client:
-In the drop-down menu, select Recent Map (high/low resolution) to locate the
client without dissociating it.
-In the drop-down menu, select Present Map (high/low resolution) to dissociate and
then locate the client after reassociation. If you make this choice, Cisco WCS displays a
warning message and asks you to confirm that you want to continue.
Note that Cisco WCS Location compares RSSI signal strength from two or more Cisco 1000
Series lightweight access points to find the most probable location of the client, and places a
small “Laptop” icon at its most likely location.
Note that Cisco WCS Base compares RSSI signal strength from the client, and places a small
“Laptop” icon next to the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point receiving the strongest
RSSI signal from the client.
Refer to the following illustration for a Heat Map showing client locations.
