AC1 to AC2 GPS Coordinate Pusher

by Jim Bouse 13. August 2013 16:37

Ok... Since it looks like UBNT isn't excited about pulling data from AC1 into AC2, I whipped up a python script that copies the GPS coordinates from AC1 to the device so that it can be used in AC2.

WARNING!!!: THIS MAY BREAK YOUR NETWORK.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

That said, I have run it against my network and it just caused breif outages while devices rebooted.

#
# This script runs on Python 3.3.2 on Windows.
# I have not tested against any other OS or version
# This script may destroy your network.
# This script may destroy your network.
# This script may destroy your network.
# I really mean it.  If this script blows your network up, 
# I'm sorry but I did warn you.
# 
# The purpose of this script is to query AirControl v1 and populate
# the coordinates from AC1 into the config file in the devices.
# When the coordinates are in the config file, AirControl v2 properly
# places the device after discovery.
# 
# NOTE: <------ READ THIS !!!
# This script reboots the devices after the file change.
# This means you will lose connection and it will be a problem if you # do it during a busy time.
# GOOD NEWS is that it only does it on the devices that need it.
# BAD NEWS is that it will have to be run a few times to get all the
# devices in your org,
# because if it reboots an AP, the clients will not be able to be
# connected to until the next pass.
#
#
# Instructions: Place this script and plink into the same directory.
# Open a command prompt and CD to the directory.
# Run this file.
