Upgrade the device software using the ePMP Elevate software package from Step 1.
5
Reboot the device.
The subscriber will now begin to scan all available frequencies and channel bandwidths for network
entry via the installed ePMP access point.
Note
After upgrade, ePMP Elevate subscribers retain only their configured IP Address and Device Name. All
other parameters, including configured access point SSIDs, frequency configuration, VLAN, etc. may
be configured over-the-air after upgrade to ePMP Elevate.
SUBSCRIBER MODULE POST-UPGRADE NOTES
•
After upgrade, the ePMP Elevate subscriber module may be accessed via its previously-configured
management IP address.
•
ePMP Elevate subscriber modules may be access via default username:
admin
and password
admin
.
•
To reduce scan time at startup, it is recommended to configure only your primary and alternate
frequencies / channel sizes. These may be configured on the ePMP Elevate subscriber’s Configuration >
Radio page
•
After upgrade, the ePMP Elevate subscribers are configured by default to attempt network entry to the
first ePMP access point scanned. To specify a specific access point SSID, configure the Preferred APs
table (located on the ePMP Elevate subscriber’s Configuration > Radio page) to match the SSID
configuration on the deployed ePMP access point.
Migration Step 5: Power down original access point, power on ePMP access point
Caution!
This step will introduce a brief system outage as the ePMP Elevate subscribers are
migrated to the ePMP access point
ACCESS POINT TRANSITION
1
Power down the existing access point. When possible, it is recommended to physically remove
original access point equipment after verifying subscriber registration and link quality (Migration Step
6).
2
Power on the ePMP access point. After this step, the ePMP Elevate-upgraded subscribers will register
to the ePMP access point.
Migration Step 6: Verify subscriber registration and link quality
EPMP ELEVATE SUBSCRIBER REGISTRATION
VERIFICATION
1
Log into the ePMP access point web management
interface.
2
On the access point Home page, verify that the
Registered Subscriber Modules statistic displays
the expected subscriber count.
3
Navigate to the access point Monitor > Wireless
page and validate subscriber RSSI and SNR
values. Updated FCC transmit power regulations
may affect link budget, see
Frequency Support and
Regulatory Certifications
.
4
To test wireless link data capacity, navigate to the
access point page Tools > Wireless Link Test.
