Going back from wires backhaul to wireless

Going back from wires backhaul to wireless

Hi All,

 

I have a RBR50 configured as AP and 3 RBS50's connected through ethernet/wired backhaul.

It has been running fine so far, I have internet access through all satellites.

Everything is running on FW 2.7.2.104

 

However I want to reconfigure and move satellites around the house and so go back to wireless only

Disconnected a satellite from the ethernet cable, disconnected from power, rebooted and waited for the white light to stop flashing after 2 minutes as per the docs

 

But never stopped flashing and so it wouldnt sync wit the RBR50

 

What am I missing here? any pointers appreciated 

 

Thanks

Pim

Re: Going back from wires backhaul to wireless

Ensure RBS are using same version of FW as the RBR. 

Try syncing the RBS using the sync buttons on the RBR and RBS while the RBS is near or in same room as the RBR. Should sync here.
