The AFC Deployment Guide for Indoor Access Points provides a detailed technical framework for deploying Extreme Networks access points operating in the 6GHz Standard Power (SP) band under Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) requirements. It specifies supported AP models along with their AFC compatibility, GPS integration, and fallback behavior to Low Power Indoor (LPI) mode. The guide outlines the architecture of AFC deployments, including anchor APs that acquire geo-location via integrated GPS or the ExtremeCloud IQ Mobile Companion app, and APs that use 802.11mc Fine Time Measurement (FTM) for AP-to-AP ranging. It details the role of the Geo-Location Agent in deriving spatial coordinates for spectrum authorization and describes the configuration workflows for ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, including floor plan creation, radio profile settings, AFC spectrum scheduling, and anchor AP designation. Deployment planning includes GPS signal surveys, RF fingerprinting, and use of the AFC Explorer tool for spectrum mapping and compliance validation. Troubleshooting procedures address geo-location failures, subgraph connectivity issues, and startup diagnostics for SP APs under cold boot and controller recovery scenarios. Designed for network engineers, the guide delivers precise operational guidance for managing 6GHz spectrum in enterprise, industrial, and high-density indoor environments.
