Locating WLAN Devices
The Device Location feature can help you physically locate APs and other WLAN devices within the wireless
system. The feature can help locate devices that are in different buildings within a campus environment and
on multiple floors within a building. To compute the probable location of a device within the wireless network,
the wireless system uses a triangulation algorithm. The location computation is performed by the Cluster
Controller switch.
You can configure floor and building information by using the pages within the Device Location folder or by
using the WLAN Visualization tool. By default, the WLAN Visualization tool continuously polls the switch to
maintain an up-to-date view of the wireless network and pushes any configuration changes to the switch.
You can use the WLAN Visualization tool to trigger the location search and to display the computed probability
map.
Managed AP Location
The pages available from the Managed AP Location link allow you to define the buildings and floors that make
up the wireless network. You can also manually enter coordinates for the AP locations in each building and
floor.
Building
Wireless networks are often deployed in campus environments that include multiple buildings. Use the
Building page to define the buildings where APs are deployed.
Link Cost Spanning Tree Path cost for the WDS link. The range is 0–255.
When multiple alternate paths are defined in the WDS group, the link cost is
used to indicate which links are the primary links and which links are the
secondary links. The spanning tree selects the path with the lowest link cost.
Note: D-Link recommends that you do not attempt to configure location information by using the
switch UI and the WLAN Visualization at the same time.
