Hi Sakid
How do we use the onboard GPS chip? We have a number of APs loosing sync for periods of time and would like to try them on the onboard GPS chip to see if it helps. Also, how long does will the hold off timer (generate sync) keep the AP in sync with other APs? 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 10 hours, 1 day, 1 week? What did you find in your lab testing? i.e. How good is the generate sync clock???

We have a way to communicate with the GPS chip and are looking at ways to address this in SW. As for the question on the hold off timer, that just allows the AP to operate (without shutting of Tx) without a GPS signal during the holdoff timer.

We have seen cases of this from LTE (second harmonic landing on top of GPS frequencies). The onboard GPS chip has a lower gain antenna and in the case where LTE interference was the issue we have seen a substantial difference when the puck was not used. Unfortunately, it is a case by case situation and depends on the environment. We are actively looking to find a better solution in terms of an external puck while keeping costs low. Lockup during upgrade - We have seen reports of lockup issues during an upgrade. This is software related and the units are recoverable by our support team via CLI access. The team will just need remote access. Anything beyond the two issues qualify for a RMA and if you have an unit exhibiting a different mode of failure, we would be keen to investigate the unit here.

But they have to be managed in cnMaestro before any config template can be pushed out to them. If you cnPilot routers are managed by cnMaestro, then it is possible that someone accidentally pushed a config to those routers. Best practice is to have a template built for each customer. Then if this happens again, cnMaestro will report that those routers are 'Out of Sync'. All you will need to do at that point is resync the config and then about 5 minutes or less, it will be fixed.

Not sure what that means. At the time, we were fixing 3-ePMP AP's and 3-R200 routers who failed to upgrade a month ago with the KRACK firmware upgrade. The 3-R200's were all ePMP AP connections. The 6 R200's that changed to cnPilot SSID were all connected to PMP450 AP's, which we didn't make any changes to yesterday. That's the mystery - we were working with ePMP gear via cnMaestro, but nothing on the PMP450 gear was touched. The timing tells me there's a correlation - with the timing yesterday while working with ePMP via cnMaestro - but how did or can it Affect PMP450 subscriber's routers?

Around 10:30am Central Time yesterday, we started receiving calls "Internet is not working". I was one of the 'victims' myself at my home. Common denominator - all the routers are cnPilot R200 and R200P's. I logged into my home router directly at my home. SSID in the router changed to "cnPilot". Once I changed the SSID back to the original SSID and re-entered in the 'password' - it worked. We've had 6 customers call in. Asked them if their router name (SSID) had their original name or did it change to "cnPilot". Each confirmed - it said "cnPilot". We've been able to remotely log in and correct things..but this is STRANGE ! Will get a ticket going with Cambium to see what's going on. Thanks for the GPS information, will make notes on it.

Opened up a ticket with Cambium and they had to run it up to one of their engineers to fix the problem. Ended up having to map a Public IP address to the unit and open up ports 80 for www, 22 Inbound for SSH, and needed to make sure that 22 Outbound was open for the device to be able to communicate with their SCP server. The engineer SSH'd in to the device and loaded the GPS files to the unit from their SCP server and it fixed the issue. Just remember to turn off all of those ports to the unit after they're finished.

We had been told to point the pucks south to get the best GPS signal. There were several wild goose chases, as it seemed upgrading/downgrading firmware fixed it, but only sometimes. In the end, the solution at each of these sites was to point the GPS puck straight up. Our best guess was that there was something overloading the GPS receiver in the direction we had them pointed. So pointing them up, while not giving them the best signal, minimized terrestrial interference. At least that's our theory. -Kristian On 01/26/2018 07:39 AM, RickG wrote: Well, I did check the forums and found I'm not the only one. I'm going to try downgrading.
