C H A P T E R 63 Configure Location Awareness • Location Awareness Overview, on page 763 • Location Awareness Prerequisites, on page 765 • Location Awareness Configuration Task Flow, on page 765 Location Awareness Overview Meraki Access Points support for Location Awareness is applicable only from Release 12.5(1)SU6 onwards and Release 14SU1 onwards. Important Location Awareness allows administrators to determine the physical location from which a phone connects to the company network. For wireless networks, you can view the wireless access point infrastructure, and which mobile devices currently associate to those access points. For wired networks, you can view the Ethernet switch infrastructure and see which devices are currently connected to those switches. This allows you to determine the building, floor, and cube from which a call was placed. Currently, wired phones do not support Location Awareness. Note You can view your network infrastructure from Cisco Unified CM Administration > Advanced Features > Device Location Tracking Services > Switches and Access Points > Find and List Switches and Access Points window. This feature updates the Unified Communications Manager database dynamically with the following information: • Network infrastructure devices such as switches and wireless access points, including IP addresses, hostnames, and BSSID info (where applicable) for each infrastructure device. • Associated endpoints for each infrastructure device, including: • For wireless networks, the list of devices that are currently associated to a wireless access point. • For wired networks, the list of devices and device types that are currently connected to an ethernet switch.
