....right the equivalent for ePMP would be a 2nd SSID that allows for
management access only. The unconfigured SM would have to look for that
SSID under some condition, such as if no other SSID allowed it to
connect or maybe if there are no preferred SSID's configured. The AP
wouldn't have the 2nd SSID on by default, so it only works if you
intentionally enable it.
I'm betting there's no reason they couldn't do it. Maybe they don't see
much demand for that feature.

Installer color code is actually something different. It allows an
installer to register an unconfigured SM to an AP, it won’t pass
customer data, but someone at the office can log into it via the AP
proxy and put in the color code. I say “unconfigured”, but I really
mean generic config, you need to have the frequency enabled.

I've had tons of issues over the years, including yesterday, where we
had multiple Preferred APs. Having 1 is only a disadvantage when the
one AP goes bad with a nearby "backup" and if you're preparing for
that I feel like you've got a lot more problems on your hand.
I guess maybe it is a feature sell on the 450 =(

Yep - because manually shuffling customers around after an outage
is super annoying.

Yeah, I know... Cambium said they were looking into doing that
at one point, but it doesn't seem like anything will every
come of it... maybe they'll at least do it on the ePMP 3000 at
some point.
Ideally, if a preferred AP isn't set, it should periodically
rescan for the strongest AP, and if a preferred AP is set, it
should rescan for the preferred AP.

Only thing annoying about NOT SETTING a preferred AP is
that if the AP reboots, customers can hop over to a
non-ideal AP.
Only bad thing about SETTING a preferred AP is that
clients can't hop over to another AP if you need to take
an AP offline for an extended period of time.
If only the SM would periodically rescan when it's NOT
connected to the preferred AP, and reconnect to the
preferred AP.. but Cambium doesn't seem to be listening.

Yeah, we do the same. If you use the same key
everywhere, and just don't set any preferred AP, it
will connect to any AP that key is valid on.
We generally never even bother setting a preferred AP,
unless we have problems with a particular SM
connecting to the wrong AP.

we just use the same key with different ESSIDs and
have a dump file. We cant go new out of box, but
nothing leaves the shop without the dump file and
it only takes a couple minutes in the van if its
not there.
