Using WMS
If your network is modeled in a WLAN Management Software network plan, you can use WLAN Management Software
to locate devices that have AeroScout asset tags. This capability has the following requirements:
• Three or more listeners are required for optimal location results. WLAN Management Software will attempt to
display a tag’s location even if there are fewer than three listeners, but the location might not be accurate.
• The listener APs must be in the network plan, on the floor where the asset tags are located.
1Connect to WLAN Management Software Services (the server) and open the network plan that contains
the site information.
2Select the Monitor tool bar option (at the top of the main WLAN Management Software window). The
Monitor dashboard appears.
3Under the Clients graph, click Details.

address of the asset tag.
bSelect the search scope.
6Click Next. A list of asset tags appears.
