And I assume I’m not the only person who has ever tightened the screw on the back of a 450b hi-gain too tight and pulled the threaded insert out of the plastic in the feedtube?

AP proxy access to the SM, installer color code, and audio alignment allow an installer to install without every having to use a computer - everything is accessible to the CSR at the office. SM’s with snap on caps in waterproof upside down cups. Go ahead Cambium - keep coming up with complex and difficult to install cable entry designs. How many tiny parts and things to drop does a 450b have? Way too many. Brick power supplies with POE and data ports that look identical? At least the original Canopy power supply only had one way to plug in the cables wrong. Now customers can come up with even more creative ways to wire it wrong.

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.

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.

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 =( Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Wed, Jan 2, 2019 at 2:20 PM Josh Baird <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Yep - because manually shuffling customers around after an outage is super annoying.

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 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.

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.
