  • 1.  AP-634 6gHz enable

    Posted Nov 26, 2024 11:51 AM

    I have a customer who purchased some 635s and 634s for a warehouse/office. The 635s are working great, the 634s will not allow him to enable to the 6gHz radio, I was told if he is on the latest firmware and the AP is loaded into Central he should be fine (10.7.0.1 I believe). It still doesn't allow him to enable 6gHz, but he is close (.5 mile) from a municipal airport and has his address in Central with latitude/longitude. Could this be AFC that is causing him not have use of 6gHz? the antennas he is using are the AP-ANT-311. He has a support ticket open, but they are stumped as well.

    A few prerequisites in AOS-10 to check before the FCO service in Central will forward requests to our AFC provider. 

    1. Time zone is set to something other than Default UTC-0.
    2. AP altitude is set. Currently this must be done through API. Central Automation Studio is the easiest way to use the API without writing code. Add the following to the target group configuration: 
      1. gps
         ap-altitude <meters above ground>
    3. Check DRT version.
    4. Verify AP is incrementing GPS samples and has calculated an ellipse (this takes 30 samples minimum).

    If that's all good, then check what the allowed channels / powers are in the AFC response is via SSH.

    If you're still having problems after that. I need the SN to look further.

    Useful troubleshooting/verification commands for AOS-10:

    show ap debug afc-channel
    show ap debug afc-channel history
    show ap debug received-afc-channel
    show ap debug received-afc-channel | include AFC
    show ap debug received-reg-table
    show ap gps advanced
    show ap gps config
    show ap gps ellipse
    show ap gps raw
    show ap gps report-history
    show ap gps summary
    show ap debug gps data
    show ap debug power-table <radio id>
    show log ap-debug | include gps
    show log debug | include gps
    show log provision | include gps
    show log system | include gps
    show running-config | include gps|alti

    schmelzle,

    Thank You for the reply. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll get the SN form one of the APs.

    To enable the 6 GHz radio on access points, the SSIDs must be configured with WPA3 as the security setting. This ensures compliance with the 6 GHz band requirements.

    WPA3 or Enhanced Open for the security modes meet the requirements for 6 GHz.

    Additional to Security requirements, this Is a SP device, pls check drt file for your country to know if 6ghz band Is enabled.
