Re: [AFMUG] Wifi for large houses
Hi All When we have a large house and using PMP100 in nat mode we tend to put in a switch and then just cable routers to the switch giving each router a different static IP on the WAN and then DHCP on the lan normally with a different SSID and different channel but I have seen other articles where the set up is as cascading routers - what would you all recommend, should we change the way we are doing it ?

Basically, these meters give power companies the ability to measure the voltage delivered to meet the minimum requirements at the end of each feed... Substation transformers can then be set to deliver lower voltage (= lower power usage) thus avoiding brownouts...of course, load control (turning off your A/C) doesn't hurt either. Pre-smart grid, the main way the power company knew about lines going down (storms, trees, etc) was when they got a phone call. These meters will tell them where they have issues so they can route around much much much faster; other parts of the smart grid can allow power to be rerouted from a control panel rather than a power company truck and a guy with an insulated stick throwing a switch in the rain. It is a fascinating topic...

Linemen get beat up alot You could tell the show was geared at it being a humanitarian issue, these poor people losing their power... how will they survive, but the majority of the background images were of people powering consumer electronics... not a justifiable theft IMHO...

One of the benefits of this remote switching capability is that ComEd can provide electrical service to customers more quickly, after the customer has contacted ComEd to initiate service. ComEd can also expedite the transfer of electrical service when a customer moves from one location to another within the ComEd service territory. I see a post on the Mike Holt electrician forum about whether calling the electric company and having them remotely shut off the power makes it safe to work on, as opposed to pulling the meter.

Re: [AFMUG] Carnival Cruises enhances Wifi @ Sea
I submitted a design for this about 5 years ago for a cruise line that was working along the coast line. A Bats system is necessary due to the range, 35 miles off the cost. The one I was working with was designed specifically for the PTP600. The cost of the towers and land acquisition was too high at the time.

[AFMUG] Internet for Old Folks
Looking for recommendations on a connection for 'Old Folks' Who are extremely not technical (read parents). The are in a semi-urban setting, but Comcast is their only wired internet option, no DSL, no Close WISPS's. They're on the triple play now, but it's expensive for what they use. They only watch the OTA Channels on their cable, and they turn the computer on maybe once per day to check email (and play solitaire). They are not willing to give up a landline phone, as a cellphone has too many buttons (they got their flip phone stuck on speakerphone, and didn't know how to change it back) I was hoping at maybe doing like a Verizon hotspot with their Home Voice Service via 4G, but that looks like it's almost $90/month. Any other cheaper solutions? I would try to get them to go with an internet only comcast option and give them an ATA, but even those are $60+/mo after taxes. And since they're already a customer, I'm not sure if they could navigate the Comcast scripts without getting sucked into another triple play deal. From a few Animal Farms ago, there was the company that was selling white labeled Cellular connections. Any WISPS here participate in that and can offer 'base station' type services?

Re: [AFMUG] Internet for Old Folks
You can go prepaid hotspot for them. Straight talk has a 3G hotspot out today but there's also some 4G LTE version at Walmart just coming out. For phone, get straight talk home phone which is about $17 after taxes. Otherwise check the cell carriers for data only hotspot options. Sprint does 3GB for $35 a month which I assume their usage would be very low.

Re: [AFMUG] Wifi for large houses
Absolutely put a router in there instead of the switch. Especially if they have any Apple devices (iphones, airports, Mac computers). They have a nasty habit of opening connections, and never closing them. I have watched them fill the NAT table in less than a half hour. So if you are using NAT, at least limit directly-connected devices to a single router on the DMZ. This will bypass the NAT table entirely. Alternatively, switch the SM to bridge mode and put in a Mikrotik to manage the internal network. We do this on selected accounts, and maintain the Mikrotik from our NOC. bp On 11/6/2014 12:53 AM, RioSat SL via Af wrote: Hi All When we have a large house and using PMP100 in nat mode we tend to put in a switch and then just cable routers to the switch giving each router a different static IP on the WAN and then DHCP on the lan normally with a different SSID and different channel but I have seen other articles where the set up is as cascading routers - what would you all recommend, should we change the way we are doing it ?

Substation transformers can then be set to deliver lower voltage (= lower power usage) thus avoiding brownouts...of course, load control (turning off your A/C) doesn't hurt either. Pre-smart grid, the main way the power company knew about lines going down (storms, trees, etc) was when they got a phone call. These meters will tell them where they have issues so they can route around much much much faster; other parts of the smart grid can allow power to be rerouted from a control panel rather than a power company truck and a guy with an insulated stick throwing a switch in the rain.

The graph tree for me on sorts the graphs not the hosts. Especially when ur on your mobile and you just want to check to see whats up or down.

There are some other plugins that let you add them to a tab and view but I want a drop down like on the host page to display only what I need. Of course you can place a tag in the name of each host and search by this tag. I am just being lazy I guess I want a simple drop down that will give me the groups I want.

Yeah that's a tough one. The simple methods won't work right. I hate sharing unequal paths because it takes a simple job and makes it a hard one.

If you own all ends of the links, you should be able to do this with some RB750s. Less than $50 a piece. The stuff at your NOC end(s) probably would not need to change.

Re: [AFMUG] development platform for data/control system
How many IO connections? I use a BCS-460 for my little brewery. It was designed with brewers in mind, but could be used for any application needing web based control for relays and such. There are a couple models with different numbers of inputs and outputs, has a built in web server for controlling it all, and they have an API so you could write your own. I wrote an andoid app called Brew Mate on the android market so I can use my phone with it. It might be worth looking at before re-inventing the wheel.

[AFMUG] CMM4 Sats tracked issue
I have a CMM4 running 8 AP's (3 450 5.4/5.7, 5 FSK @ 5.7) and experiencing an odd issue. Satellites seen stays up, fluctuating between 7-9 sats but the tracking has trouble fluctuating between 5-1. It spends most of its time in 2D fix, will 3D fix when it's tracking 4 sats and will report bad geometry at 2 sats. I suspect placement on the tower is the issue and it is having trouble maintaining the lock. It's on the latest firmware (3.0). I'm going to suggest we attempt to relocate the CMM4 to have a clearer view of the sky but wanted to ping you guys for some input. What do you think? Is the CMM4 failing or is this an (n)LOS issue?

Re: [AFMUG] Cacti POLL
Yeah, We currently have one instance that only does Infrastructure and the other doing everything else. I want to eliminate one and have just the one portal. This has been discussed before in the forums and there were some plugins that sorted some host in another tab but thats not what I want to see. I want to log in and just see all infrastructure hosts or subs by simply having a drop down to filter by group.

Out of necessity I am going to be working a plugin that will do Host groups or views for the hosts displayed.

There are some other plugins that let you add them to a tab and view but I want a drop down like on the host page to display only what I need. Of course you can place a tag in the name of each host and search by this tag. I am just being lazy I guess I want a simple drop down that will give me the groups I want. Since we use nagios to watch majority of infrastructure for alerting I want cacti to only show that infrastructure. I am just taking poll to see how many use or could use something like this. -- --
Re: [AFMUG] Fiber up the tower questions.
If I had to do fiber + DC, I would want each radio on its own pair of fiber and power conductors coming all the way down. So far it's been easier, cheaper and faster to run cat5. Just my opinion. It would be nice to find 4 strand single or multi-mode + 4 #14 stranded conductors in a single jacket. I would go for 2 + 2, but lots of stuff is coming with separate management and data port SFP interfaces now. Plus it never hurts to have an extra pair of wires at the radio for maybe a 2+0/1+1 setup.

Re: [AFMUG] AF5/24 errors
I have not. These are PTPs between routed interfaces. Traffic goes over the link without a problem. Routed management traffic (in-band only) to the radios doesn't generate any errors. It's only radio to radio packets that seems to trigger it. I can run a ping, telnet or ssh session between the radios and I get Rx FCS and Code errors on both ends. I also have flow control disabled on everything. So, you obviously know more about these things than I do but... I've mentioned this before, if I'm managing a radio directly connected to a router port (which holds the IP gateway), that traffic hits the other side, which tells me these things don't have a MAC table/FDB and/or are not store-and-forward switching. Could it be just a MikroTik thing, sure, I don't know, I don't have any other gear to test with. But this doesn't happen with the same MikroTik's and any other radios. Ubiquiti M's, Cambium, Trango licensed, etc. Just sayin'.
