In my experience, you just CPI file a new empty AP and sync it once you
have it in place.
The SMs should move to the new AP in the SAS admin tool once they
register and the grants get re-used.
Then once the old AP is empty in cnMaestro SAS Admin tool you deregister
the old AP and delete it from the system.
No reason to refile all of the subs just to swap out the AP.

Ken,
since the addition of the export button in the management tool it
makes it easy todo.
The key is ensuring you have a current sheet with all of your sector
info and subs info up to date.
update the sheet with new AP and your ready to go.
Of course to answer your question to make a smoother transition is to
place the new ap into part 90
so you obtain all of your subs then update your management tool.
I am sure someone here may correct me if im wrong.
Thanks

Has anyone figured out the best procedure for replacing a Cambium
CBRS AP?
I’m guessing there is something more elegant and less disruptive than
deleting the whole sector while the tech is swapping out the AP and
then re importing into cnMaestro from a spreadsheet and hoping
everything goes smoothly and customers are only down for a few minutes.
I’m talking about replacing an AP that is in service but with
issues. Over the years we’ve run into RF issues with the original
connectorized 450 APs. I’ve never established whether it’s the AP or
the sector antenna, but replacing it solves the modulation and V/H
ratio issues.
The same procedure would also apply if you are upgrading to a 450i or
450m AP.
