When the SP Spectrum is not found, the AP behavior depends on the AP model and it's configuration. The AP5020 can be configured to fall back on LPI when the SP Spectrum is not located. The AP5050 reverts to zero power.
Low Power Indoor (Default)
In low power indoor (LPI) mode, 6 GHz radios use a predefined compliance table and the AP does not require AFC spectrum. The AP goes into service immediately after it boots. LPI operates over U-NII 5,6,7, and 8. A radio that is configured with LPI mode is not an AFC AP, and does not appear on the AP-List / AFC tab.
Standard Power (with fallback to LPI)
Supported on AP5020. In standard power (SP) mode, 6 GHz radios can operate at SP or LPI. The SP power level depends on geo location for the AP and on receiving AFC spectrum from the AFC server. If AFC spectrum is not available, the radio falls back to the LPI power level. In SP mode the channel list is limited to U-NII 5, and 7 (in the US). As soon as ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller determines the geo location for the AP and receives AFC spectrum from the server, the 6 GHz radio transitions to the SP power level. If the AFC spectrum cannot be renewed, the 6 GHz radio falls back to the LPI power level.
The list of supported channels in LPI fallback mode is limited to the channels, supported by SP mode. This way, the AP will not have to change channels when switching between SP and LPI modes.
