Just a quick video on doing a manual upgrade of ePMP firmware. Both a GPS radio and a NON GPS radio. Nothing fancy.

Lately, we have had a few clients run into signals becoming worse when they elevated clients to ePMP. This is not a result of the software being bad, but it enforcing the max EIRP on the units. This boils down to older devices compliant with original FCC grants which allowed unlimited EIRP. The Cambium elevate recognizes the latest grant for the devices. This grant allows for a max of 41 dBM on 5/10/20 mhz channels and 38dBM on 40mhz.
So if you have elevated some older devices from UBNT your signals may have dropped. This is due to compliance with the latest rules for the device. As our industry matures, becoming compliant will become more and more important. On the UBNT units, newer firmware from UBNT also does this.
Cambium has a forum post on this. http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-Elevate/5-8-GHz-Elevated-Devices-Maximum-EIRP-in-the-United-States/m-p/73141#M475
We have some tricks of the trade we can do. Contact MTIN for how we can help.

Some highlights on the ePMP Elevate platform.
-Allows ePMP Elevate software to run on on non-Cambium 802.11n subscriber modules
-ePMP Elevate subscribers function as ePMP subscribers
-Solution for WISPs who have hardware deployed. Offers a migration plan.
-ePMP AP must be licensed for ePMP Elevate
-5GHZ Only
-XW and XM based Ubiquiti hardware
-17 supported models
-2.4 GHZ is in on the roadmap. No official comment on timeframe.
-cnMaestro support is available for XW hardware
-Replaces the UBNT software with a cambium interface. Looks pretty close to any other ePMP interface.
-If DFS is FCC certified on the hardware it will work on the hardware when it gets the elevate system.
Pricing
1 Subscriber license $35
10 Subscriber License $315
You would buy multiples 10 subscriber licenses for more than 10 subs. Locked to wired mac Address of the AP.

Upgrading EPMP GPS Firmware
Beginning with System Release 2.0, users can upgrade the firmware of the on-board GPS chip present on the Connectorized Radio with Sync.
To upgrade the on-board GPS chip on a Connectorized Radio with Sync:
1. Navigate to Monitor => GPS to check the GPS Firmware Version that is currently present on the radio.
2.If the GPS Firmware Version displays AXN_1.51_2801, navigate to Tools => Software Upgrade
3.Under the G P S F i r m w a r e upgrade section, select the same package used to upgrade the device’s firmware ex: ePMP-GPS_Synced-v2.4.2.tar.gz.
4.Click upgrade
5. The upgrade can take up to 3 minutes. Once the upgrade is done, the radio’s UI prompts for a reboot and the reboot button will be highlighted.
6.Click the Reboot button on the top right corner of the UI.
7.Once the radio has completed its reboot process, check under the Monitor => GPS page to check the firmware version

ePMP 100 version 2.4 released
New Features added:
Release 2.4 adds the following features:
eFortify™ Enhancements:
- New ePTP mode operation: The release introduces a new mode of operation for point-to-point configuration providing significantly lower latency than other modes. Not available for DFS bands.
- Improvements to VoIP performance
- Ability to configure the Max MCS independently in each direction
eCommand™ Enhancements:
- eAlign: The release introduces eAlign (found under the Tools menu), a tool to aid with link alignment
- Session Time per SM on the AP (under Monitor->Wireless)
- Improvements to the throughput chart on the GUI dashboard (under “Home”)
PDF Release notes can be found at http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-1000/New-ePMP-Release-2-3-1-now-available/m-p/37067#U37067
Highlights Include:
o RFC1213 supports standard interface MIBs. Items such as Ethernet interface Tx/Rx and
corresponding stats are now supported per the standard RFC. This allows users to utilize 3rd party monitoring tools that support RFC1213
• Separate Management IP when SM is in NAT mode
o Separate Wireless Management IP will provide the ability to separate management traffic from user traffic when the SM is configured in NAT mode providing separate management access to the SM. This includes the ability to have a separate management interface when PPPoE is enabled on the SM.
• ARP table display
o Displays all the ARP entries for interfaces present in the routing table
• VoIP helper functionality under NAT
o When the SM is in NAT mode, ePMP inspects SDP packets and automatically creates appropriate
