Re: [AFMUG] Email Server

That's their retail price.  You can do much better on a wholesale agreement
- price will probably depend on your quantity.  We got in real early and
got a very good price that may not be available anymore.

As for tech headaches:  yes we have autodiscover set up and that catches a
lot.  The biggest headaches are the uber-non technical that are afraid to
do anything without "professional guidance" (we use that term loosely
around here) or hacked/disabled accounts that need a password reset.

We use Google Apps internally and I love Gmail - was considering switching
to G (before they pulled the plug on the ISP edition).  I polled some
customers about it and we had more than a few customers that were concerned
with Google getting in their pants.

Only 10 minutes?  Consider yourself lucky!  Getting stuck on long email
support calls is frustrating, but then I look at the numbers and its still
a profitable service for us.  We charge $5/month or $50/annually for e-mail
account.  We have customers that have moved away, or switched providers,
but keep the e-mail active, we still have some revenue there.

We switched from in house to Rackspace several years ago, been happy with
them.

Re: [AFMUG] VDSL2 DSLAM options

Good question!  Ours is at 17a (the default).  30a is unnecessary
because we're rate limiting lower speeds (capacity constrained by
microwave back haul).

Versa DSLAM we got off Amazon.

I sent you my sales rep info for SmartRG.  There are other vendors
available for modems as well (we've also used Zyxel and Zhone).  I
prefer SmartRG because they have a TR-069 ACS platform we are now
utilizing for remote management of modems.

Re: [AFMUG] fusion splicer recommendations?

Thanks everyone for the feedback - super helpful!

Fujikura has the strong brand name, but seems like people have success
with the other brands as well.  I noticed the Fujikura 12s is clad
alignment were the other options are core alignment.  From what I've
ready core alignment would be preferred?

Gotta pull the trigger soon, I'm leaning towards the Oriontek T40.
The all-knowing Google turned up some others having good experience

Re: [AFMUG] Managed WiFi question

2017-07-26 Thread Rob Genovesi
We have been demoing SmartRG's device manager.  We do both xDSL and fixed
wireless, SmartRG has a nice xDSL modem/router we've been using for
awhile.  They have an ethernet model that could work with fixed wireless,
fiber, etc.  http://www.smartrg.com/hardware

Their Device Manager is a TR-069 platform, designed to work with SmartRG
products but you can incorporate other products that support TR-069 with
some (a lot of)work.  I'm sure they would be happy to integrate other
products - for a price.  http://www.smartrg.com/device-manager

So far seems to be a pretty simple/solid platform for managing customer
devices, changing Wi-Fi SSID/passwords, etc and basic troubleshooting
inside the network.  It has a basic customer portal so that customers can
login and self-help.

Functional, but not the "wow factor" I was hoping for when trying to figure
out our next generation managed platform.  Would really love to see
Ubiquiti do an MSP version of AmpliFi - would jump all over that.  All.
Over. That.

Ooma has launched a partnership programs with ISPs.  It's not fully
white label as it requires the customer to use Ooma equipment (which
means you can't use your own ATA).  An interesting option for anyone
looking to add VOIP service without any overhead.

We're not doing this (yet) but have talked to Ooma a few times.  If

All little town owns a few blocks of conduit they put in some time ago
during a side walk remodel.  I'd like to get an agreement with them to
use it, ie: free access for the city in exchange for space in the

They need convincing that I don't need to be a utility to do this.

Does anyone (who is not a CLEC) have an agreement with a town/city for
use of conduit/muni-right of way that they would be willing to share?

Create a firewall address list of all known good subnets.
Create a forwarding rule in your firewall to accept known good subnets
to forward from customer side to WAN side
Create a forwarding rule to drop everything else coming from customer

/ip firewall address-list add list="customer" address="x.x.x.x/x"
/ip firewall address-list add list="customer" address="y.y.y.y/y"

Re: [AFMUG] Converting vectors to a shape (.SHP) file?

2016-11-27 Thread Rob Genovesi
If the data set is small you can find the other GPS coordinates using
something like this:  http://www.geomidpoint.com/destination/

Once you have all the GPS points it's easy to create a KMZ file with the shape.

Agreed.  It can create an atmosphere for race to the bottom pricing.
With little to no barrier to entry anyone can come into the market
undercut the existing providers with cheap land grab tactics.  These
providers typically don't last and go out of business, but they drag
down legitimate companies with them.  It happened plenty of times in
the golden age of dial-up.

I despise over regulation but it could create a large enough barrier
to entry that only serious operators would enter the market and that
might prevent race to the bottom, at least for a little while.

All that being said, I don't agree with a monopolistic environment either.

That seems pretty obvious, DCMA violators will just keep jumping to
the next service provider any time their current provider is forced to
turn them off.

Yup.  It takes a wide range of DC input and will output 24v or 48v POE
depending on the configure.  Only ports 1-4 can do VH power (24 or
48).  We have had a few in the field for several months now and no

I had been thinking in terms of a entry every 2-4 homes (drop cables from
entry directly to house on each side).  Seems excessive.

It does seem more managable if it's ~ 8 drops per entry.  The drop cable
may run alongside the feeder cable for X feet until it splits off to go to
the home?

[AFMUG] Building small GPON network

2016-06-16 Thread Rob Genovesi
We're looking at our first fiber neighborhood project, about 90 homes.
The neighborhood will be fed via wireless and fiber used for
distribution.  It's 100% aerial in remote private neighborhood.
Currently in the research/feasibility stage, but I hope this will be
our first build and a good project to cut our teeth on.

A few questions, answer off-list if you prefer:

- What OLT/ONT have people been using and liked for a small GPON network?

- Reading about "Distributed Tap Architecture" vs Splitting method.
Anyone have experience with Tap?

- Armored or Dielectric?  100% aerial at the bottom of a canyon under
dense tree canopy.

I'm sure there will be more questions, thanks in advance for any sharing.

If you want to roll your own you can use gpsd (http://www.catb.org/gpsd/)

 What is the best way to do drive testing to document AP coverage.  I need
 something that is very automated.  I  presume the vehicle would have to
 have an omni but they you would need to adjust the RX signal up by 20 dB to
 account for the use of a reflector.  Would need a 5 GHz receiver or
 spectrum analyzer that will measure down to –100 dBm I would think.

 Have never been involved in something like this.  I  have used SMs for
 this but they are directional and not automated.




[AFMUG] Municipal conduit agreement

2015-06-30 Thread Rob Genovesi
Hi all,

Does anyone have a boilerplate/sample agreement for use of municipal
conduit?  I'm looking specifically for cases where the agreement is
for empty conduit (we put in our own fiber).

We have a small town that has about 8 blocks of conduit, so it
shouldn't need be anything too elaborate.

Thanks in advance,

You may be missing this cmd: switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

interface FastEthernet 0/3
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 777
  switchport mode trunk

 This should be a trivial Cisco switch question. Apparently I don't use
 these turds enough to remember everything.

 show config says:

 interface FastEthernet0/3
 switchport access vlan 777
 switchport mode access
 speed 100
 duplex full
 no cdp enable
 !

 However, when trying to convert it to a tagged port with the following
 commands, it doesn't change.

 config terminal
 int Fa0/3
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 777

 No errors, just no change. I even tried just setting the description. Same
 result.

 I also tried removing the vlan via:

 interface FastEthernet 0/3
 no switchport mode access
 no switchport access vlan 777

It says it's CARB approved for all 50 states (and national parks):

Steve - are you able to do remote start/stop through PacketFlux?

 We've got almost that exact same generator at one of our solar sites
 hooked up to a PacketFlux Generator controller for backup power in the
 event we don't have enough solar.   Has been running great there so far.
