===== ePMP Force Series =====

This page is for information regarding the setup, configuration and installation of ePMP Foroce Series CPE

**Important POE Information**

Certain radios requires certain POE's (power over Ethernet). Using the incorrect POE can damage radios and render them unusable. Be 100% certain you are using the correct POE for the radio.

  * ePMP Force 110 uses the 100 Mbps POE
  * ePMP Force 200 and 180 uses the Gigabit POE
  * ePMP Force 190 has it's own 10/100 Mbps POE (almost looks like the UBNT poe) but confirmed that the Gigabit POE will also work. Try to use the 10/100 Mbps POE first

** IMPORTANT ** 

You **MUST** do the firmware before the configuration or the configuration WILL NOT WORK

==== Configuration ====

{{ :tech:cambium_epmp_guide.pdf |}}

The default IP address of a brand new radio is http://169.254.1.1

To reach the radio, do the following:

  - Set your IP address to 169.254.1.100 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 (figure 1)
  - open a command prompt and run the command (without quotes): "ping 169.254.1.1 -t"
  - Confirm you are able to ping the radio

Figure 1.

To ping the radio:

  - Open a Run Window (windows key + R) or clicking the start/windows icon in the bottom left
  - type "cmd" and press enter
  - A black command prompt will appear. Type "ping 169.254.1.1 -t"

Once you are able to ping the radio, log into the radio with an INCOGNITO WINDOW. The reason for this is a bug with the cache after pushing a firmware. You have been warned

Log into the radio

  - default IP in your browser is http://169.254.1.1
  - username: admin password: admin

=== Update the Firmware ===

  - Click on Software Update
  - Click on Browse
  - Find the current firmware (currently 3.5 NON GPS for CPE)
  - Click on Upgrade
  - The process will take several minutes. When it is done, you will see the lightbulb Icon turn orange and say "you will need to reboot for changes to take effect"
  - Click on reboot

=== Update the Configuration ===

When the device starts pinging again, log into http://169.254.1.1 in an incognito tab

  - Click on Backup/Restore
  - Click on Browse
  - Select the File for that device. This example shows an ePMP 200 Nat Configuration ** NOTE ** every type of radio will have it's own firmware. Do not use, for example, an ePMP 200 file for an ePMP 190 - it WILL create issues.
  - Click on Upload. You will see the "arrow" and "disk" icons in the top right turn into "Applying". 
  - Once "Applying" disappears, reboot the radio.

After the radio reboots it will only be accessible via https://169.254.1.1:9443 if the configuration was applied successfully.
