One thing that makes it so bullet-proof on Canopy, is the internal
network between the AP and the SMs (169.254.101.x) which is what makes
the proxy so smooth. With ePMP and UBNT, you're still at the mercy of
having the right IP address set in the SM before you can manage it (even
when connecting from the AP).
We sorely miss this feature in ePMP, and it makes NMS mapping a major
headache.. We don't pre-map SMs before they go out into the field, so
with ePMPs, I have to create a static ARP entry for the 192.168.0.2
address in the closest Mikrotik router, and use the Tik proxy to get
into the SM.. Change IP, delete ARP, rinse, repeat.
Click-through is a cruel joke without the proxy. I really, really hope
it gets properly implemented.

How are you doing it with Ubnt? Can't the same be done with epmp?

For our install method proxy access (or some means of remote
access to a minimally configured CPE) is a must have. The
installers do NOT have to get out a computer or otherwise access
the device. Power it up, point it at the tower, listen for
signal, call the office for a signal quality check and go.
Everything regarding CPE programming can be done remotely.
This can be done with Ubnt as well by SSH to the AP's and then to
the CPE but it's not as clean as Canopy.
No way at all that I know of with ePMP.

One of the "best features" of the canopy platform in my book. It
annoys me working on 802.11 crap when I see a tech has typo'd
something like an IP or vlan.

I don't know how many times I've used it, but it's more than

OK Cambium ePMP dudes and chicks, I am disappointed. I
thought you guys
had Canopy-like SM "click-thru" access, aka LUID proxy.
But this is not
the case on 2.3.3. All you give me is a URL with the IP
of the SM.
Informational helpful, yes, operationally helpful, no.
I'm guessing you need an RF private network like exists
on Canopy to
make this work. Please do it.
