This is a log from a new Last Mile Gear 900MHz AP. Note it starts its life out as a SM and then turns into an AP. I wish I knew how to do that myself…

telnet into AP then type in syslog
Is it now functioning as an AP?
Could another SM register to it?
Great hack!
How can I do the same with my SM?
:lol:
I think what he is pointing out is that the customized APs ordered from LMG appear to be SMs that have been hacked to perform as APs. I’ve noticed this with my LMG units as well.
To me it makes sense. It would be cost ineffective to have several different board designs for SMs/APs if you can control everything via software and a hardware jumper. I’m sure anyone with some free time, familiarity with Canopy hardware and a little electrical knowledge could figure out how to do this as well.
This type of modification would obviously void any warranty and wouldn’t make Motorola very happy as it would cut into their profit margins quite a bit.
I think that AP was working in SM mode for spectrom analyses or something and after that turned back into to AP therefore you have that kind of log file.

I don't think so.
Even if you change the working mode of the AP, on the event log you will read "SOFTWARE VERSION 8.x.x AP-DES".
Just tested...
Think about it guys-
How much money can you save in manufacturing by having a single board design for every module. Other than tweaks for each frequency band, all you have to do is flash the unit with an AP firmware and you’re good to go.
It’s the same hardware across the board. BHM, BHS, AP, SM - all the same stuff controlled with different software.
I would say the boys over at LMG have found a way to cheat the system. Sure would be nice to know the trick!
