I just tried the 16.2 beta FW on my first guinea pig AP and SM. Not CBRS, just the firmware upgrade. (Still haven’t chosen a SAS.)

Even though Cambium didn’t >explicitly say do the SMs first. Actually though I didn’t lose the SM. And it was on 15.2!

The caveats: You have to have the frequencies, channel widths, color codes, etc. enabled in the SM’s for them to be able to ’see’ the AP when it comes up in legacy NN modes. Obviously the frequencies need to be in 3650-3700 and with appropriate power levels set. I’m told you may need to toggle the AP in/out of CBRS and extra time in cnMaestro but that appears to be something we have only seen a few times so far when transitioning in/out of CBRS modes.

Solution was to turn on ‘auto-sync + free-run’ and then also enable ‘free run before gps sync’ still working with cambium on a better fix but it’s working for now.

Turn off ‘spectrum scan on startup’ if you enable CBSD. It goes into an endless loop in this beta. That’s probably the worst bug we have found.

Just converted this site today: <image001.png> You can pick the SAS you want to use with cnMaestro but the default option is Federated, but they will let you work with the other SAS vendors if you prefer. You have to use cnMaestro (either on or off premise) to serve as the proxy to communicate with the SAS - that’s just part of how the system works. If Cambium support isn’t working with you on it contact your regional Cambium sales manager. If that doesn’t work it’s not too hard to find your way up the Cambium organization until you get results. https://www.cambiumnetworks.com/our-company/executive-team/ is the list. Cambium follows the first.l...@cambiumnetworks.com <mailto:first.l...@cambiumnetworks.com> format for email addresses. Start with the CSM and escalate as needed.

It is our understanding that Cambium is the only SAS option we have due to the need to have cnMaestro be the Domain Proxy for the SAS. Has anyone got this up and working? We have been requesting access to the CBRS options in cnMaestro for two weeks but are not making much progress. With full commercial availability, we are a little surprised that this isn’t available. Are there other options for connecting to a SAS other than using Cambium as the SAS Domain Proxy? Seems they might not be ready for this, or are not heavily committed to it.
