Long time listener, infrequent poster. Please bear with me.
Back in the day, my company had Nortel 2332 access points with the associated controller running off PoE switches. Since then:
- We've upgraded our infrastructure twice.
- All the existing controllers either died or were taken out of service with extreme prejudice and are gone.
In the interest of filling in any gaps in coverage, I wanted to find these old timers and replace with current stock. I know they're still on the network, as they're getting IP addresses and power, but because there's no controller there's no SSID to query against so I can't use my Aircheck. I then thought of putting my fox & hound on it, but the building's F'ing huge and between the metal "architecturally interesting" ceiling and all the other stuff going on in the building I can't put enough juice down the wire to track it.
Does anyone have any ideas, either to light up the AP with a known SSID, or how to to trace a wire from a good distance away?
