  • NAS type - select Cambium as a NAS type;

  • Connection type - The only available connection type for Cambium devices is "Public IP";

  • IP address - IP Address of the router. From this IP, the router should send requests to our system, so we can identify that router;

  • Radius secret - RADIUS secret of your RADIUS server on the router;

  1. Powerlynx SSIDs

Add the SSID name into the SSID field under your location and under your splash page:

location-ssid

splashpage-ssid

It is crucial to add the SSID in both places mentioned. It's not enough to add the SSID only under Location details or only under the splash page details.
