Hello all. Tried my first Elevate today. Powerbeam M2 on the bench. Firmware change went fine. Now, I cannot get into it to change settings...Tried the reset button, still cannot get into it.
Any advice? Does Cambium make an IP finder tool like Ubiquiti?
This is still giving me fits...Is a XW Powerbeam M2. Elevated with 3.5 software.
I am again trying to configure. Anytime I try to set the administrator password to something different:
Set password
apply
reboot
Radio comes back up as if its been defaulted, password reset to admin.
This is all I am trying to do so far. I made the mistake of configuring the whole radio and setting the password last only to lose everything in the process of rebooting....
I've elevated hundreds of radios, and I've never seen an issue like that... although, I have seen similar problems running Ubiquiti firmware (radio rebooting when you try to apply changes). My best guess is that there's some kind of a hardware problem... can you try a different radio and see if it works like it should?
So Matthew - that is quite a few Elevated units. Do you plan on eventually changing them all out for EPMP subscriber units or just leaving them as Elevated Ubnts?
Went down to Elevate 3.4.1. Made config changes, saved, rebooted. It saved it. Re-Elevated to 3.5, same results. Perhaps something went wrong with my first Elevate, IDK.
We've ended up replacing some of them because of various issues (mainly older XM radios), but the current plan is to leave them running as Elevated units until there's a need to replace them. Most of the issues we saw with the XM hardware seemed to be resolved as of v3.3 or so, but a lot of them are just dying because of flash memory failures and various other problems (regardless of whether or not they've been elevated), so it's likely that all of our NanoBridges and older NanoStations will at least end up getting replaced eventually. The XW hardware seems to work very well with Elevate though, so I'm hoping we will get a few more years out of those.
I haven't personally tried it, but it looks like Ubiquiti has a signed version of 6.0.4 available now, that you can downgrade to from any of the newer versions, and then flash unsigned firmare from there.
