Oh, right you are.

I think when I did that I used Prism to make the settings to whole groups of 
SM’s at a time.

Not sure if there is a better way, scripting might be better, but hard to know 
the results of a script run sometimes.

Then again, Prism was super sucky too.

Hey sterling,

Yeah the SMs can have multiple color codes but the APs can only have 1.  I plan 
on putting the 3 best "new" color codes in the SMs and then the fourth CC I'll 
put the current tower color code.  The trick is gathering all the data from the 
SMs.

It's hurting my brain thinking about the best way to accomplish this :-/ haha

I seem to recall doing that often years ago, but not sure if there is an easier 
way other than manually.

I know JAB had written a very nice platform to do something like this with 
Canopy, again, years ago.

Subject: [AFMUG] Canopy moving from 1 color code per tower to 1 color code per 
AP

Hi Gang,

due to historical reasons that are no longer valid we currently have 1 color 
code assigned to all APs per tower.  I'd like to move to 1 color code per AP.  
However, this would require first gathering all the data from the SMs as to 
which AP is their best, which is second best and which is third best (we often 
have multiple APs aimed in almost the same direction).  We have hundreds of APs 
and thousands of SMs so having a monkey log into each SM and log this data 
would probably take a couple lifetimes haha.

Before I go hire someone to write some scripts and create a database to get 
this project going, I was wondering if any of you have already done this and if 
you have any software tools you'd be willing to share/sell.

Also if anyone else is thinking of doing this would you want to go in on the 
development together? (if no one else has accomplished this)

thanks,

-Sean
