ISTENERS

To configure MAP radios to listen for AeroScout RFID tags:

„

Configure a service profile for the AeroScout listeners and set the SSID 
type to clear (unencrypted).

„

Configure a radio profile for the AeroScout listeners.

„

Disable RF Auto-Tuning of channels on the radio profile. Channels on 
RFID tags are statically configured. Therefore, the listener should not 
dynamically change channels. 

„

Disable active scan on the radio profile. When active scan is enabled, 
radios go off-channel for brief intervals to scan for rogues. 

„

Enable RFID mode on the radio profile. RFID mode allows MAP radios 
to accept Aeroscout Engine commands. A MAP will forward RFID tags 
to an Aeroscout Engine after receiving an Enable Access Point 
command from the Aeroscout Engine.

„

Map the AeroScout listeners’ service profile to the radio profile.

„

Set the channel on each radio to the channel on which the RFID tags 
transmit. You can use the same channel on all the RFID tags. 

„

Map the MAP radios to the radio profile and enable the radios.

The following example shows the commands to configure three MAPs to 
be AeroScout listeners. This example assumes that the MAPs have already 
been installed and configured.
