security options will be attempted upon network entry.   
 

After upgrade ePMP Elevate subscribers are configured 
with the default ePMP WPA2 Pre-shared Key of 

Cam39-

Tai!wdmv

.  If the ePMP access point has been configured 

with a new, non-default WPA2 Pre-shared Key, this key 
must be configured on all network subscribers to allow 
network entry. 

After configuring access point parameters, click Save then 
click the Reboot button. 

 

Migration Step 3:  Install and power on 
the ePMP access point on-site 

 

For additional ePMP access point installation 
requirements, see the 

ePMP User Guide

, available

Option 1 (Preferred): When possible, install the 
ePMP access point onsite after pre-configuration.  
This technique offers the best opportunity to 

minimize the network outage time required upon 
subscriber transition to the ePMP access point. 
 
 

 
Option 2:  Alternatively, the ePMP access point 
may be installed as a direct replacement to the 
currently operating access point using the same 

mounting equipment (when possible).  This 
technique will require more subscriber downtime 
than option 1. 

Migration Step 4:  Upgrade ePMP Elevate-compatible subscribers 

Installing the ePMP Elevate software on supported subscriber modules allows registration of the subscriber 

to the ePMP access point.  This procedure may be completed remotely (over-the-air, does not require a site 
visit) or locally (via direct wired Ethernet connection to each subscriber module, requires a site visit). 

 Caution!  

The ePMP Elevate migration process does require a brief system outage during access 

point transition.  Once the ePMP Elevate software has been installed on a subscriber, it will no longer 
register to its original access point, and network entry will only be available via the ePMP access point.  
Please plan migration windows appropriately to minimize customer impact.  Careful preparation and 
device pre-configuration will reduce resultant system downtime.
