I think I've run into this before, but it's been 4 or 5 years, and I
ended up just taking the SM to another tower. I have a tower with a
west EPMP3000 sector, and a South EPMP2000 Sector, both on Cambium
antennas, and both with the BSA. They are on Adjacent, but
non-overlapping channels.
I have an SM that is installed at 225 Degrees into the tower, so evenly
split between the 2 sectors. It see both AP's at the same signal level
of -64, but Throughput tests on the SM are yielding ~5mb/1mb no matter
which AP it's connected to. Other SM's which can see one of the AP's
much better than the other can get 100mbs+ on the RF.
The Front/back settings are for 180 opposite AP's, are there special
settings for adjacent AP's? Unfortunately the SM is installed at a new
construction without full time power yet, so I can't run testing on it
easily, so I thought I'd ask before trying to fly blind when the
customer plugs the SM in and expects a connection.
I think my options are add another EPMP3000 with the Horn antenna facing
the customer, or change them out to a PTP F425.
