50 out of 300 AP's do not show GPS info in SCG

[mike_mccarthy_6]

Our network has 2 AP zones with a total of 280 AP's (240 7782's and 40 7982's) . We are running SCG (3.1.1.0.641). The 50 AP's that are not showing their GPS locations are spread out between the AP zones, different sites and AP versions.

Here is what I get on AP's with no GPS info:

rkscli: get gps

GPS chip: BCM47511

GPS state: Enabled

GPS coordinates : Acquiring satellite signal

Geo location source: gps

This is what I get for AP's with GPS info:

rkscli: get gps

GPS chip: BCM47511

GPS state: Enabled

GPS coordinates : 37.800884,-122.409411

Geo location source: gps

GPS last update at: 2015-10-29-06:52

GPS next update at: 2015-10-29-19:52

I have rebooted the AP and disabled/enabled GPS state. Neither command got the AP to "acquire satellite signal" and identify its coordinates.  
Any other ideas?

Does anyone know have any information about how the GPS info is provided to each AP?

Thanks,

Outdoor APs (GPS capable), will not report GPS if they're used indoors, where they can't see/reach the satellites. (like in our lab)

7782's have external GPS, so you could install the AP indoors and then run the cable to the GPS which is installed outdoors 🙂

The GPS is external just in the 7782-E, and internal in all other 7782 versions.

I know 🙂
