So to update this previous post.  Went to the site and confirmed that yes we
were getting the blinking sync light on the SyncInjector feeding the ePMP
APs, I logged into the AP that did not have GPS and set it to use the CMM3.
Rebooted and no joy still no GPS. Frustrated I ended up unplugging the cable
feeing one of my 450iAPs that was receiving sync from the PowerInjector Plus
and plugged the ePMP APs cable into it. Still no joy no GPS after waiting
several minutes. I am not sure how my 450i APs can be receiving GPS from the
unit but the ePMP doesn’t from the same feed. 

 

I ended up doing a climb and relocated the antenna for the onboard GPS in
the ePMP. It now has GPS from the onboard unit but it would still be nice to
have the secondary over power working.

 

Any thoughts I am all ears.

 

Thanks,

Brandon

I don't have any CTMs. But I believe the CTM1 = CMM3 and CTM2 = CMM4.

Do you know what to select when using a CTM?

If the 1PPS LED is blinking on the daisy-chained SyncInjector, then I'd say
it's fine with a straight-through cat5.

The ePMP1000 GPS radios will take 802.3af or Canopy -4/5 +7/8 at either 24
or 48 volts. Running them at 48-56 as others have pointed out several times
in the past is better with the cold startup and whatnot.

The ePMP Sync radios don't do AutoSync like Canopy. You have to select
internal (generate in Canopy terms), GPS (on-board), CMM3 or CMM4 for Sync
Source on the Config > Radio page. You want to select CMM3 when using a
PacketFlux injector.

Thanks,

Patch between the two packetflux is 1 foot.

ePMP is running 6.2.1.X ( don�t want to go to 3.2.x until they work out
one more bug. )

Using the SyncBox Junior for the syncpipe.

Cable runs to the APs are 140 feet

Shorter the better on the cable

Update all the components to the current firmware, and verify the syncpipe
is the right revision. The default pinout on the pins inside works with 48v

Hopefully and easy question here.

�

We have always used the onboard GPS for ePMP access points up until this
point.� We recently installed 4 new ePMP APs and the tower blocks our
north facing AP from getting GPS on the onboard GPS. All other track GPS
just fine. We also have 450 APs on the tower and are using a PacketFlux
PowerInjector Plus to power them and provide GPS and its working fine. I
then installed a Gigabit SyncInjector ( had it on the shelf new) �to power
the ePMP APs and connected it to the GPS feed with a standard patch cable on
the PowerInjector Plus. Light flashes shows its getting GPS but no joy on
the ePMP AP.

So my questions are :

�

what configuration should I use in the ePMP AP?

�

And I am fairly sure stadard patch cable is acceptable between the two
packet flux but I wanted to confirm?

Thanks everyone.
