Re: [AFMUG] What happened to Trillion in Alabama

[CBB - Jay Fuller]

I heard stories and even used to talk to a guy who worked there.  Unfortunately 
a heart attack got him several years ago.
The "public" story was "Trillion Texas" purchased them, I believe.

I'm maybe just going to get some Reynolds wrap around the existing meter,
if they cut it send a 32k dollar invoice for cutting it?

Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux Gig Sync injector - 320 wimax. - Jumpers?

[Andreas Wiatowski]

Thanks for this, we were unsure and just replaced it with a 430/320 injector. 
Good to know we can do this by making a cable.

Cheers,

With the 320 and 430 you have two options:

1) Buy a 10/100 injector, and re-jumper it.

2) Use a gigabit injector off the shelf with the cable described in the cambium 
manual.   The cable in the cambium manual is the one from a CMM4 to a 450i.   
Because we use 'normal' pinning on our gigabit injectors, the cable is not 
needed with the 450i, but is needed with the 320 and 430.

The reason for this is that the 320 and 430 do not use a standard pinning.  
Worse, the pinning is not compatible with gigabit powering schemes which all 
require the same polarity and voltage on both wires in the pair - the 320 and 
430 use a different polarity on each pair.

I would go attempt to hang it back on the meter.  Perhaps make a new wire for 
it if it is the wire snap in type.

I bought this house something like 6 years ago, since the day I moved in the 
tamper tag has been laying on top of the meter. I don't think my meter has ever

I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted. Then again, most of the 
smart meters out here don't work because they are too far apart from 
each other to create a mesh.
