Manual AP placement Cisco Spaces

Lebowski1991 — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 22:04:10 GMT

Hi all!

I'm trying to find information on is it possible to manually place APs in spaces maps so it can later be used for way finding and other features.
I can't find specific information on this for the life of me.

We are using 9120s which don't support Auto Location so we were hoping this would be possible.
In some older posts, I saw mentions on this but never any specifics or configuration steps provided.

I do have CC integrated and AP placement was already done there however, Location services do not integrate this map but rather directly provided map. Is there anything that can be done with this?
Or any other way that I might be missing?

Thanks in advance!

Are your ap's already on the map and you just want to edit their location? I don't have access to spaces anymore, but you can edit ap locations by following these steps.

Unfortunately, No.
AP's are seen by the Spaces but I'm trying to find how to place them.
I can see under DevicePlacement 0 of X APs added to maps.
I try to place them on map and click on Add AP but once I go through the process i get the :

AP placement Failed. Please re-select APs and try again.

The text here indeed says that IF device has geolocation module, it can use Auto location and place itself on maps nad it mentions that Anchors can be added manually but I don't get to that part.
I'll try and open a case with TAC as well to check with them if by any chance it's a software failure but for start, I wanted to make sure that what I'm trying to do is indeed possible. I must say, I simply assume it should be possible as it seems quite straight forward thing to do.

Yeah, TAC would be your best bet here. Hopefully it's something easy.
