Configure FTM for Standard Mode of Deployment (XML Method)

Prerequisites
  • The product supports FTM feature.
  • The infrastructure AP has built-in 11mc feature and the feature is enabled.
  • It is preferred that 11k and 11ac are enabled in the infrastructure. See Common Recommendations for Infrastructure to Support FTM.
  • XML file with the BSSID of 11mc APs and the corresponding x, y, and z coordinates in relation to the floor plan.
Configuration
To configure FTM for Standard Mode of Deployment (XML method):
  1. Select
    FTM Enable
     to enable the solution.
  2. Select
    Standard (FTM Enabled)
     from FTM Deployment Mode option. Ensure that 11k and 11ac are enabled on the device and in the infrastructure.
  3. Select the coordinate source AP. Select the
    Location XML
     option.
  4. After selecting Location XML, push the XML file. The XML file (for e.g. floormap.xml) should have all 11mc APs BSSID and their x, y, z coordinates hard coded in the file. (See Sample XML File Format.) The administrator must deploy the XML file to the sdcard path on the device using FileMgr CSP. (See Deploying XML Using FileMgr CSP.)
  5. Specify the path of the XML file in the FTM Deployment file (sdcard path of the device).
    Deploy the above configuration using StageNow. The device is ready for indoor navigation.
  6. View the Application code snippet and modify the location application by using the Android Location Manager API to get location updates.
