I can’t remember last time I power cycled an AP, it’s been years.
Only time would be if I did something stupid and needed to do the quick power cycle to get into the Recovery Console. Usually that wouldn’t be an AP that’s in service, but one from the used pile that I’m planning to redeploy but I didn’t label where it came from. Sometimes after a year or two uptime some of the Ubiquiti stuff will go off to Lalaland and need a reboot, I had to do an old Powerbridge the other day, but I could still reboot it from the GUI. I had an old Karlnet/YDI/Terabeam/Proxim backhaul radio that needed to be power cycled regularly but that was 15 years ago and it got replaced with a PTP500 which has now been replaced with a PTP820.

Either way is fine, we’ve chosen to do it in the PacketFlux RI so that everything is standardized across our towers. Support staff and field techs know that ALL APs get power from a rack injector...so when problems happen look there and try a reboot. -Sean On Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 9:18 AM Josh Baird <joshba...@gmail.com <mailto:joshba...@gmail.com> > wrote: We're deploying our first 450M gear soon. This site will have a +48VDC ICT rectifier solution and DC distribution (managed). We're going to be using a PacketFlux RackInkjector w/ Cambium Sync modules to provide sync to the 450M 3ghz radios. We could load a PDU module in the RackInjector as well to provide power to them. Alternatively, we could power them directly off of the ICT managed distribution. Both solutions are managed (can turn them on/off via IP). Is there any reason to use the PacketFlux PDU module over the DC distribution panel in this scenario?
