i would HIGHLY recommend (especially with CBRS but also just in
general) using the color code feature and putting a unique color
code on each AP. it gives you much more control to prevent
unintended consequences.
like josh said tho, as for the SAS the CPE is in the same location
aimed in the same direction so no change.

Sooooo... here's a situation I bet no one thought about...
I have an AP at 0 degrees north, and my CPE is directly south
at 180. I
file as such.
The AP goes offline but the CPEs now see a sector directly
behind them
and connect to that.
Is the reported to the SAS azimuth now 0 degrees (dish is
pointing
north) or 180 degrees (CPE is attached to a sector behind it
off the
backside)?
