450 APs do some illogical things when choosing among available sync sources – internal, power port, timing port. Of course on 450i/450m, internal is not an option. But sometimes we have to telnet to an AP and disable/enable internal in order to get it to switch back to power or timing port. Of course if it was stuck on generating sync despite showing power or timing port sync available, that would be bad.
It does seem like the root cause needs to be identified, so we know how likely this is to happen again. If it was a counter rollover, the next event could be predicted, wasn’t there some big scare last April? If it could happen any time one satellite sent out some bad data, and required manual intervention, that’s more concerning. Luckily our sites with Syncpipes or Syncboxes connected directly to APs with no ability to remotely power cycle them are older and therefore have the older modules in them. Well, except the one with the Cambium cnPulse, which we have powered via the AUX port on the AP, so we could also power cycle that remotely. I’m assuming the firmware in the GPS modules is not field upgradable?

I still have my money on Huawei testing the Baicells botnet, building up a set of GPS transmitters out of the Recievers and impacting the Stateside GPS. they tested the timing pulse in a fashion that only impacts timing, not positioning amongst a test group (WISPS) that would fly under the US governments radar. Id say it was a pretty successful test. good job Comrades On Thu, Jan 2, 2020 at 10:38 AM Andreas Wiatowski <andr...@silo.ca <mailto:andr...@silo.ca> > wrote: We have found that we had to reboot some 450AP after the event in addition to restrating the GPS.

My EPMP 1k,2k,3k radios just reduced the number of tracked satellites. (after completely losing all satellites for about 15 min at 21:00 on 12/31) at 21:00 1/1 they all returned to normal number of satellites tracked. I did not reboot or reset anything at any point. My Older EPMP1000 radios did not have any change to their GPS satellite readings. Blue is Visible, green is tracked.
