I've had it happen on P10 boards. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of George Skorup Sent: Monday, September 26, 2016 1:32 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] FSK AP thinks default plug is in
I had a 5700BH20 with over a year uptime. Same thing, power went out and it was default plugged when it booted back up. Yeah, in that year it could've been an ESD event that killed the diode or whatever it is that goes bad. We had this happening enough that I asked Cambium to allow us to override/ignore the default plug, but that never went anywhere. Kinda moot now since 13.4.1 is the end of the yellow brick road. The P8 and P9 boards had this happen frequently. P10 and P11's almost never. FSK isn't even worth getting fixed anymore. Just buy some cheap used radios for spares and send the bad ones to the round filing cabinet. That's what we've been doing for two years now.
