PMP 450i add frequencies template?

Products cnMaestro

hi,

i would need to add frequencies to my 450i SMs 900mhz and i have been looking for how to code a template to be able to add frequencies to my deployed SMs to give me more flexibility for selecting frequency and channel width.

the template in CnMaestro for the PMP seems to be for 5.8ghz..? i tried looking at the examples to figure it out and looked in the forums.

Thanks for the help!!

The process for creating your own configuration template is:

  1. On a test device configure the parameters you are interested in overriding with values you desire.  Note what they are so that will be easy to search for later. This should be done directly on the device web UI.
  2. Export the device configuration. Via cnMaestro this is done by navigating to Configure -> Devices, selecting the device in the left-hand tree and then clicking the View Device Configuration link. This can also be done via the device web GUI, typically in the Administration or Operations section where there will be an Export button for configuration.  For PMP 450i this is located under Configuration -> Unit Settings -> Configuration File as a clickable link.
  3. View the configuration file in a text editor like Notepad++ and search for the values you entered in step 1. You can also search for the parameter name to try to find the correct lines. 
  4. Delete all other configuration parameters that you are not interested in pushing.
  5. Optionally, replace values with replacement variable text in the format ${VARIABLE_NAME} or ${VARIABLE_NAME=default value}. This will allow you to set the value per device.  Currently replacement variables must be surrounded by double-quotes.  This is in the process of being fixed.
  6. For PMP and ePMP (JSON-based templates) you can optionally validate that the template is valid using a tool like jsonlint.com.  cnMaestro will also validate the template before saving.  jsonlint.com may provide better details about the exact error if the template is invalid.
  7. This template can now be used in cnMaestro by copy/pasting or importing as a file.

Here is an example PMP 450i SM template for setting the frequencies:
