Re: [AFMUG] Dc electric load ? Chuck ?
Good ol 3055 transistor found and Astron and Duracomm systems. Use a LM723 and a few other components. The one in question would be the output resistor at 5W .33Ohm I have built several of these to regulate 12-18vs seamlessly to our mikrotik routers to help with smoothing out the raw dc from the duracomm systems at 24v-48v out. Our mikrotiks seem to have fewer issues related to power and reboots. Went the whole last year without a single reboot on the network.

Re: [AFMUG] SLAs\Escalation
I have read thru all of our upstreams over the years and I picked 2 that seemed to fit our fancy. It was windstream and ATT ACC. Windstream had a nice formula for calculating how much credit or refund for allotted down time would be. ATT had good explanations of response times and on site repair times.

There were some bumps to get it off the ground as Amazon has VERY specific/strict methods that have to be adhered to in order to send email through their servers. That has resulted in a few differences in the way the list emails look/act with certain clients, and MUCH debate has gone on about it on the list J In early November, we used our test environment with Amazon to test how things would work if we went the �Amazon verified email� method, whereby each new subscriber to the list would first get prompted with an Amazon email verification request, and then the AFMUG verification email. This method seems to work just fine (we actively used it like that internally for a week or so) and it handles all the backend �stuff� just like we want it to.) The email headers then work like they would in any other mail server. We queried the AFMUG list and there was no resistance to us making the changes and adding Amazon verification, but we just got slammed with other projects and didn�t pull the trigger on the switchover. Since November, all new subscribers to the list HAVE BEEN required to do the Amazon verification as part of the AFMUG signup. We are now ready to pull the trigger on the changes to get everyone else Amazon verified so we can make the changes to the email headers, etc. Here�s what will happen�. All existing AFMUG subscribers that have not been Amazon verified (most of you) will get an email by the end of today from Amazon to verify your email address. The verification emails are good for 24 hours only. The email does NOT say anything about AFMUG unfortunately, and we can�t change it so just be looking for it, check SPAM folders, etc. Probably on Friday, we will turn on �normal headers�. If you have not been Amazon verified at that point, you will still get emails but if you send any emails to the list they will NOT go through. We will monitor the changes closely and make any adjustments that are needed along the way. *To recap, you will get an Amazon verification email shortly. It�s important.

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Tools
Tushar, we bought the Wireless manager just to display our map of infrastructure on a 50 screen in the lobby. Cool! Once I started getting the keys to support most of our infrastructure I began to investigate more in depth of what all we could do more with it. It allows me to make global changes on the fly and create complex templates for any of our PTP links and APs. This makes for a good day when provisioning a replacement radio when one gets hit by lightning. Other than making network wide changes like modifying protocol filtering or nat templates its ok. I believe but not sure it has the ability to check for service availability at first glance from a subscriber.

Re: [AFMUG] PTP500 does 2mb/s
Scott, Have a look at the slave side spectrum manager and see if there is some noise cropping up. If not then you may have some water in a pigtail or defective. Also, may want to do a site walk to see if the antennas may have moved due to weather or something in the path since it was installed. More often then not the tale tale signature if a bad pig tail is the vector error is all over the place. These things usually dont have grey area when it comes to detailed informational tags like Limited by WIRELESS conditions Start with spectrum manager and see what it says then look at Diag plotter for unusual patterns in vector corrections.

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 450
Craig, What are you using for antennas both at the Tower and the sub level? When using the dish for the sub our techs find if you tilt it slightly on its Horz axis it does much better with SNR if you are using the cambium 90 or 60 degree sectors on the tower. We are getting amazing results here. We have have most of our 900 and 2.4 customers moved over to 3.65.

Ensure configs in radio tab are the same across the net(ie % of allocation,control slots and distance) this will affect proper timing 4. Do spectrum scan see whats out there. 5.

The hurdle seems to be getting them to pay someone to fix problems in their internal network. If you can monetize this by selling an onsite support plan, or by dispatching from a separate side of your business that charges for service calls, that is good, as long as you can say this is not an Internet service problem, it is a customer network problem. Otherwise, refer them to a local computer shop that does house calls. What amazes me is the reluctance to pay us $5/mo for a managed Mikrotik router that comes with free replacement, phone support and onsite support. All of a sudden it’s not so interesting to have us solve the problem for them. Yet they will go to Best Buy and let the kid talk them into a $200 Linksys AC router as the solution to all their problems. I guess that points back to me being a poor salesman compared to the kid at Best Buy. Probably because I know the managed router is a good deal for the customer, so if they don’t want it, I’m only going to push it so hard. While Best Buy makes tons more money on a $200 router than they do on a $50 router and doesn’t give a rat’s ass what’s good for the customer, so they sell the hell out of the expensive router. And people like going to stores and buying cool gadgets. Maybe I need to rub some “new car smell” on the Mikrotik routers or something. So I guess if your proposed gizmo has a “new car smell” or “latest iPhone” aura to it, people might buy it.

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.

It seems to me that it would be nice to replace the power injector at customer sites with more of an intelligent device. One that provides functionality like traffic metering, cable diagnostics, customer-location speed tests, and so on. The unit would have jacks for the radio, the customer equipment, and power. It would also have a display which shows real-time usage data for the customer to be able to determine for themselves what their current internet consumption is. There are a lot of natural outgrowths from this such as watchdog reset of the radio itself, automatic problem notification to the WISP, etc. My goal would be to instrument this as much as possible. If you think of this as a 'smart power meter' for internet, with diagnostic tools built in, then you've got the basic idea. This is not intended to replace the customer router/nat device, and will only be a Layer 2 device as far as traffic goes. There will likely be some limited traffic shaping possible based on the underlying ethernet swtich chipset. Unfortunately, these can't be a $20 device. $75 might be doable for higher volumes, but $100 is more in the comfort zone for the volumes I typically move. Of course, this is a CPE device and I'm not even sure how many I'd sell so these prices are guesses at best - but more likely to go down instead of up. Although I suspect most people would love to have one of these at each install, I have a hard time believing that most people would swallow adding even $75 to the cost of each install, let alone the $100 which might be the price I'd have

Re: [AFMUG] Cacti templates for PTP650?
Yes, This happens with different versions of cacti thats y I asked. Typically backwards but not forward compatibility. May have to look at versions array to see what versions are compatible with yours. Also, OS updates or patches could break it. I have two instances of cacti running usually an older version and a newer version to sort or troubleshoot these weird issues with cacti. Have a look into the forums and it should shed some lite on the issue. On 10/01/2014 11:42 AM, Bill Prince via Af wrote: Eric, Got an XML parsing error on that template (not a hash error).
