ePMP: Locating System Information

Use the System page to reference key system information.

Attribute

Meaning

Hardware Version

Board hardware version information.

Serial Number (MSN)

Unit serial number (MSN).

Firmware Version

U-Boot version information.

Software Version

Current operating version of software on the device. This listing is also present on the GUI footer bar (which contains a hyperlink to download new system software).

Device-Agent Version

The operating version of the device agent, which is used for communication with cnMaestro.

Date and Time

Current date and time, subject to time zone offsets introduced by the configuration of the device Time Zone parameter. This shows a factory-configured time until a valid NTP server is configured.

System Uptime

The total system uptime since the last device reset.

Wireless MAC Address

The hardware address of the device wireless interface.

Ethernet MAC Address

The hardware address of the device Ethernet interface.

DFS Status

N/A:  DFS operation is not required for the region configured in parameter Country Code

Channel Availability Check: Prior to transmitting, the device must check the configured Frequency Carrier for radar pulses for 60 seconds). If no radar pulses are detected, the device transitions to state In-Service Monitoring.

In-Service Monitoring: Radio is transmitting and receiving normally while monitoring for radar pulses which require a channel move.

Radar Signal Detected: The receiver has detected a valid radar pulse and is carrying out detect-and-avoid mechanisms (moving to an alternate channel).

In-Service Monitoring at Alternative Channel: The radio has detected a radar pulse and has moved operation to a frequency configured in DFS Alternative Frequency Carrier 1 or DFS Alternative Frequency Carrier 2.

System Not In Service due to DFS: The radio has detected a radar pulse and has failed channel availability checks on all alternative frequencies.  The non-occupancy time for the radio frequencies in which radar was detected is 30 minutes.

Contains FCC ID(s)

Displays listing of FCC IDs applicable to the device.

Read-Only Users

Displays the number of active Read-Only users logged into the radio.

Read-Write Users

Displays the number of active Read-Write users logged into the radio.

SM Current GUI User Authentication

Displays the mechanism used for authentication of web management interface users.

Factory Reset Via Power Sequence

Enabled: When Enabled under Tools->Backup/Restore->Reset Via Power Sequence, it is possible to reset the radio’s configuration to factory defaults using the power cycle sequence.

Disabled: When Disabled, it is not possible to factory default the radio’s configuration using the power cycle sequence.

cnMaestro Connection Status

The current management status of the device with respect to the Cambium Cloud Server. When Enabled under Configuration->System, the device will be managed by the Cambium Remote Management System, which allows all Cambium devices to be managed from the Cambium Cloud Server.

cnMaestro Account ID

The ID that the device is currently using to be managed by the Cambium Cloud Server.

Resetting ePMP to factory defaults by power cycling

Operators may reset an ePMP radio to default factory configuration by a sequence of power cycling (removing and re-applying power to the device). This procedure allows operators to perform a factory default reset without a tower climb or additional tools. 

Step

Action

1

Remove the Ethernet cable from PoE jack of the power supply for at least 10 seconds.

2

Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds and disconnect cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (1st power cycle)

3

Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds and disconnect cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (2nd power cycle)

4

Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds and disconnect cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (3rd power cycle)

5

Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds and disconnect cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (4th power cycle)

6

Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for at least 30 seconds and allow it to go through the boot up procedure (Note: Device will go through an additional reset automatically). This will reset the current configuration files to factory default configuration (e.g. IP addresses, Device mode, RF configuration etc.). The device can be pinged from a PC to check if boot up is complete (Successful ping replies indicates boot up is complete).

7

Access the ePMP device using the default IP address of 192.168.0.1 (AP) or 192.168.0.2 (SM).
