Isn’t there a way to take my old P8 AP’s and covert them to hardware scheduling SM’s?

2

change to sm mode on configuration page. then use CNUT hardware scheduling tool to change to hw sched.

3

Tried that. Doesn’t work.

4

APs no.

Only works with SMs

5

stupid question
did you save changes and reboot after making the change to SM mode?

6

Yep.

Justin - there is a way to do it as thats what Moto used a few years back to sell the transition. Retire the old AP’s, convert them to SM’s and upgrade your AP’s…

EDIT: I misread your post i thought you were trying to make them HW sched. APs.

We have tried this with some P8 5.7 APs when we got in a pinch, and they wouldn’t accept anything over 7.3.6 even when in SM mode.

Apparently you have to contact Moto support which gives you a string of feature keys to load. This will make the AP a SM - no longer switchable back to an AP. Once that happens you can use the hardware scheduler tool in Cnut and upgrade them to v8 or v9
