(USE WITH CAUTION) Will cause a wifi network outage!
Starts an AP ranging scan for the given floor-id.
AP ranging scans facilitate using automatic AP placement within the floorplan manager as it allows the system to collect inter-AP ranging information in a much shorter time frame.
During an AP ranging scan, all wifi client connectivity on the 5GHz radio will be disrupted for the system-calculated scan duration. When the scan completes, the network will automatically restore itself.
Only one scan can be active on a floor at any time.
The other pre-requisites for starting an AP ranging scan are:
- APs on the given floor-id must be 'ftm-monitor' capable (ie. Running AOS firmware version 10.7.1 or greater)
- APs on the given floor-id must be configured in the same regulatory domain (ie. configured with the same country code)
- APs on the given floor must be synchronized with the same ntp server
