Yes, speed keys.

 

Had a 450 SM fail today, one we have put an unlimited key in.  Now junk.  Lost 
the key.

 

Fitted a new 450 10meg SM and added a new key.

 

Do not like keys….

So David how much so far have you spent on wireless Manager? Next year or 2  if 
they come out with new system and tell you to pay again, and tell you old 
system will not be supported and for newer radio you need new system and will 
have to pay for all your old AP's to make it work on new system, will you pay 
them again?

 

In our case we had spent $20k + hardware so close to $30k on prizm, we could 
not transfer anything to wireless manager, they wanted us to pay again.

 

Same could happen again with new CNS (or whatever is called now).

Tushar,
 we bought the Wireless manager just to display our map of infrastructure on a 
50" screen in the lobby. Cool!
Once I started getting the keys to support most of our infrastructure I began 
to investigate more in depth of what all we could do more with it. 
 It allows me to make global changes on the fly and create complex templates 
for any of our PTP links and APs.
 This makes for a good day when provisioning a replacement radio when one gets 
hit by lightning.
Other than making network wide changes like modifying protocol filtering or nat 
templates its ok.
 I believe but not sure it has the ability to check for service availability at 
first glance from a subscriber.

If history is any guide, (BAM, Prizm ) and not continue to support. After 
poring close to $30k in  prizm, cambium wanted us to buy new license for all 
AP's and backhal again for wireless manager. I could not believe it.

 

You are better off not wasting your time and money into their management 
platform.

 

We won wireless manager in something and still did not install it. When we did 
install it, we were not impressed. Don't waste your time and money.

I assume Wireless manager is still a pay for product?

 

Anyone using Wireless Advisor?  Is it worth installing?

 

Thanks
