Whoa... Wait. it registers on a PMP100 AP?!?!?
Does not compute!
A PMP450 will _*_NOT_*_ talk to a PMP100 AP at all.

I only enable the freq that the ap is using and unchecked all the
rest…this is what I meant by isolating
AP eval shows nothing at 1 mile mark but close up it shows
So from what you guys are saying the first 8x means what the sm is
capable of doing and the second number 1x is actual speed?
So if it registers at 1x…12feet in from the of ap then it would make
sense that it would not see anything if I try it at a mile
Guess I will have to pass traffic through it to see if it works from
what you guys are telling me
I know for a fact that the sector antenna works because I attached a
pmp100 AP to it and that registered without any issues…do you think me
plugging a pmp100 into the sector antenna would cause this?

OK, then it's not what I was thinking. If you had software on them
older than 13.2 I believe, and you also had an AP where the factory
reversed the pigtails internally, your beacons would end up on
horizontal instead of vertical and the SM probably wouldn't hear it.
You say you're getting 8X/1X but it's also not registering. That does
not compute. As other have suggested, try locking down the SM's scan
list to the exact frequency and channel bandwidth that the AP is on.
Tone alignment helps. If you can get a laptop, tablet, phone, etc. and
look at the Tools > AP Eval page on the SM, does anything show up
there? That's one of the first things our techs are supposed to do
when troubleshooting on-site. If it's obviously not an alignment
issue, log in and look at the AP eval.

There still seems to be some misconception on this. 8X/1X means
that it's 8X capable / 1X current. It's always going to show 8X
capable (or 2X for FSK, 3X for 430). After the / is what you need
to pay attention to. Also, the uplink and downlink are
independent. On the AP session status page (power tab), that's the
downlink rate to that SM. On the SM main page, link status, etc.,
that's the uplink rate to the AP.
What band is this? 2.4, 3.6, 5.4 or 5.7? And what software version
do you have on the radios? It'd be best to stick with 13.2.1 for now.
For the longest time I too thought this was backwards. I assure
you it's correct.

8x down 1x up
this is the first sm am trying to install on it
the freq am on is very clean not sure what the problem
is....unless am missing a setting?

Signals on each side?
8x down 1x up? Could be an uplink path issue or heavy
interference at the AP side. Have you changed frequencies?
Spectrum analysis? Is this the first SM on the AP?

am new to the pmp450 looks straight forward but am having
issues registering it from a distance
when I point the sm which is 12 feet in front of the ap it
syncs 8x by 1x ...but if I go 1mile down the road it
doesn't register at all
not sure what am doing wrong...has anyone had this similar
issue like this?
thanks
