Cisco 2700 Location Appliance
The location appliance tracks 802.11 devices directly from a wireless LAN infrastructure using
advanced RF fingerprinting technology. Additionally, the appliance records information so that you can
establish location trends and resolve problems regarding RF capacity.
By design, the location appliance is directly integrated into the wireless LAN infrastructure and is
configured through its command-line interface and then managed through WCS. The location appliance
tracks the physical location of wireless devices using wireless LAN controllers and Cisco Aironet
