OK, you were right. I power cycled master and slave together and so far everything is back to normal. Also while I was there I verified 450i could be powered directly with port type G.
I don’t know if there was a less disruptive way than taking down 11 APs. At least I will be putting one of the CyberPower remote ATS/switched PDUs there so I can do this remotely in the middle of the night next time. I used to enjoy working out at a remote tower site at 3am under the stars, but I’m getting too old for that nonsense. Just resetting the GUI doesn’t seem to resolve the problem I was experiencing.

Yes type G will power a 450i and also a 450m however we've found that a CTM2 has a hard time powering more than 1 or 2 450m's because of the high watt useage of the 450m -Sean On Fri, Jan 13, 2017 at 1:08 PM Ken Hohhof <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Is anyone using a CTM-2 and power port sync with a 450i AP? I was reading the CTM-2 firmware release notes, and it sounds like they added a Port Type G that’s the same as Type B but with the pin swap to eliminate the need for the external pin swapping cables. (Basically undoing the pin swap that was introduced for 430 APs.) I swapped out a bunch of 430 APs for 450i, using the Cambium pin swapping cables. It would be nice to get rid of them and connect direct, if I am reading this correctly.
