Dave, you may be right that the easiest way is to let the SMs register under Part 90 and then convert to CBRS. That way they are in service while we fiddle with cnMaestro and the SAS.
There are a lot of cool things you can do with relinquishing grants and deregistering, both from the AP and from cnMaestro, but they are a little complicated if you don't know exactly what you're doing, and I usually don't. I always import from a spreadsheet, so I should always have an up to date copy. Except they keep updating the spreadsheet template, now on v15, so I end up having to copy-and-paste. cnMaestro won't accept anything but the latest version.

The key is ensuring you have a current sheet with all of your sector info and subs info up to date. update the sheet with new AP and your ready to go. Of course to answer your question to make a smoother transition is to place the new ap into part 90 so you obtain all of your subs then update your management tool. I am sure someone here may correct me if im wrong. Thanks Dave On 8/10/20 8:46 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: Has anyone figured out the best procedure for replacing a Cambium CBRS AP? I'm guessing there is something more elegant and less disruptive than deleting the whole sector while the tech is swapping out the AP and then re importing into cnMaestro from a spreadsheet and hoping everything goes smoothly and customers are only down for a few minutes. I'm talking about replacing an AP that is in service but with issues. Over the years we've run into RF issues with the original connectorized 450 APs. I've never established whether it's the AP or the sector antenna, but replacing it solves the modulation and V/H ratio issues. The same procedure would also apply if you are upgrading to a 450i or 450m AP.
