yes pmp 450 AP with pmp450 sm
this will be installed with some trees in front of it but need to give them a
lot of speeds this is why I chose this...if it doesn't work ill jest give then
a 900 and end all these problems

First.
The AP is a PMP450 AP. Correct?
Second.
The SM is a PMP450 SM. Correct?
Define "trees". I have a rule that we do not even attempt any 5 GHz devices
through trees.

Are you talking about the Cambium 60 degree sector that has the third connector
for FSK (in the middle I think)? Or did you just put the FSK AP on the vertical
port for testing before swapping to the 450 AP?
It will sit at 8X/1X QPSK MIMO-A while scanning to listen for beacons, so that
is normal. I think you need to figure out why the SM can't hear the AP at
range. Could be bad/damaged SM or AP. Do you have another SM or AP to try? Or
RF pigtails between the AP and antenna. Easy way to get some idea of what's
going on is to run the spectrum analyzer on the AP. Does it see anything 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.

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

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?
