[AFMUG] MCC-800-GIGE-APC-HV and ethernet link issues

2024-05-30 Thread liddy303 
Chuck,

I recently put a four port din rail surge suppressor chassis in production
with four MCC-800-GIGE-APC-HV cards.

A couple of months into their use the ethernet links to the radios on the
tower start flapping and renegotiating down from 1G to 100M and then
eventually 10M, and then eventually failing.  When I bypass the card with a
female-female RJ connector, they come right back up at 1Gig.

These radios are powered from a MikroTik POE switch at 48v.

Any suggestions?Am I using the wrong card for 48v poe?

Thanks.

Re: [AFMUG] LTE Modems

2019-05-28 Thread liddy303 
Just thought I'd follow up on this.   Lots of back and forth with hologram
running diagnostics with no success.   Finally ordered a new SIM card, and
the new one came online immediately.

Between plan changes trying to get the thing to work, and the new sim, I
racked up 20 bucks or so.   Hologram was nice enough to refund the money.

Took them awhile to respond to my support requests, but once they did they
were very helpful.

Thanks for the replys!

Re: [AFMUG] LTE Modems

2019-04-22 Thread liddy303 
Hello,

Dredging up an old topic here I just got a Netgear LB1120 and a
Hologram SIM card.   So far, I haven't been able to make this thing work.

TJ-- It looks as simple as activating the SIM card, installing it, and
setting the APN of "hologram" in the Netgear.   Is that about it, or am I
missing something?

Thank you!

 Has anyone used netgear LB1120 for mikrotik out of band access? IF not
 any suggestions on what lte modem or setup works best for remote access?



 Thanks in advance!!
