[AFMUG] Exalt ExtremeAir

2018-02-23 Thread Brandon Shiers

Anybody seen the error "Ethernet port 1 input alarm" on an Exalt Extremeair 
radio?  I seem to be getting them when I try to pass packet sizes larger than 
1500 bytes.  Link is up at 1G full and I've tried both a laptop plugged into 
the radio power supply directly as well as from a MKT CCR router that the radio 
is plugged into.  Running 2.6.2 code and can't seem to get anything larger than 
1500 bytes through without fragmentation.  I can't even ping the interface on 
the radio with a 1501 byte packet with the DF bit set, it requires 
fragmentation.



Thanks,

Yes, there are two software banks/flashes in the ExtendAir G2.

Note: According to the ExtendAir G2 1.4.3 upgrade notes, if you have 
very early firmware you can upgrade your link to 1.1.0 then jump 
straight to 1.4.2 (which needs to be programmed in twice for reasons

To anyone else who has had issues contacting Exalt Communications support (
supp...@exaltcom.com seems to have had issues for some time), I was using
an alternate e-mail address at a support subcontractor that has worked
well: exaltsupp...@starmicrowave.com .

If you need earlier radio firmware, I have an archive too.

(Also if anyone wants to buy a large number of their 5ghz  EX-5R-C GigE or
RC5000 outdoor connectorized radios let me know...)

Not sure what antennas you have, but all of our Radiowaves HP-EX dishes 
had a piece of green mylar tape over the waveguide interface. It's just 
a dust/moisture cover for shipping. Most of the Exalt install guides say 
to take the tape off of the antenna if installed, and leave the tape on 
the radio if installed.

[AFMUG] Exalt ExtremeAir

We are installing a pair of ExtremeAir radios and are having an odd issue.

At one end the rx  is -41V / -31H.

The far end the rx is -35V / -32H.

Any idea what could cause a 10dB difference in polarizations?

[AFMUG] Exalt ExtendAir G2 issues?

2015-10-07 Thread George Skorup

For those of you that have had issues with the ExtendAir G2, what 
exactly were your problems? I have a new 11GHz link that randomly sees 
the BER go high in both directions and it drops out. RSL at both ends is 
normal during this. It looks like multipath or interference, but a 
reboot clears it up most of the time. The link was in an unavailable 
state for about 10 minutes this afternoon. I rebooted both ends and it 
was fine for a few hours. Then it happened again and I only rebooted the 
Tx low end and it was fine after that. Now it appears to be taking 
errors again, but there are no BER alarms or sync losses in the event 
log... yet.


I have dropped the Tx power on both ends to zero for a fade test and the 
modulation dropped a bit, but the BER was fine, so I don't think this is 
interference from another system. Leaning towards one of the radios 
being bad, just not sure which end yet. We've verified alignment at each 
end twice now, so it's not that. RSL at each end is also very close to 
what it should be, within 1-2dB.

Re: [AFMUG] Exalt ExtendAir G2 issues?

2015-10-07 Thread George Skorup

Turns out I was wrong. The high side RSL drops to -99. So it looks like 
the low side Tx is stalling and a reboot of that end only will resolve 
it for a while. Guess we'll be replacing the low end.

I am very excited about our future.  The market drivers have never been

Microwave maven Exalt Communications appears to have shut up shop after
10 years in the backhaul business, Light Reading has learned.

Industry sources say Exalt Communications Inc.
http://www.lightreading.com/complink_redirect.asp?vl_id=10845 has gone
under. The company was started in 2004 by Western Multiplex president Amir
Zoufonoun, who acted as CEO from the beginning, and was focused on selling
microwave backhaul to mobile operators and wireless ISPs. (See Exalt
Beams Up Microwaves
http://www.lightreading.com/ethernet-ip/exalt-beams-up-microwaves/d/d-id/647013
and US Wireless ISPs: What's on Their Minds?
http://www.lightreading.com/mobile/backhaul/us-wireless-isps-whats-on-their-minds/d/d-id/706591
)

Multiple calls by Light Reading to the Campbell, Calif.-based company's
main switchboard were sent straight to voicemail Monday afternoon. The
customer care support line also goes to voicemail.

Their office doesn't seem to be open...doors closed and parking lot
empty, says one source, who had heard the company may be undergoing a
change of ownership.

Pam Valentine, VP of outbound marketing at Exalt, meanwhile, is still
listed on the website as the media contact for the company, but left this
month, according to her LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/pamela-valentine/0/596/216 profile. She
has not responded to calls or an email from Light Reading as this article
was published.

I don't think Cambium cares, the PTP800 and PTP810 are marketed so heavily
to government/institutional/enterprise customers that they consider
themselves to be in a whole different price range. At least when compared
to what you can get for a single polarity, 1024QAM, 40MHz wide, full-ODU
licensed band system under $7000 with antennas these days.

I hope so, I was going to buy more stuff from them.  The licensed backhaul 
business is strange, you look at any of the management, engineering or sales 
people on Linkedin, and it seems they have all worked for most of the companies 
at some time or another.  It’s a small world unto itself.

Their office doesn't seem to be open...doors closed and parking lot empty, 
says one source, who had heard the company may be undergoing a change of 
ownership.

Pam Valentine, VP of outbound marketing at Exalt, meanwhile, is still listed on 
the website as the media contact for the company, but left this month, 
according to her LinkedIn profile. She has not responded to calls or an email 
from Light Reading as this article was published.

Hey, backhaul sounds like a fun business to be in doesn't it? Find out more by 
visiting Light Reading's dedicated backhaul channel. 

The company's last update on its own LinkedIn page was 5 months ago and its 
last press release was issued on July 16.

CEO Zoufonoun, however, is still currently listed as the head of the company on 
his LinkedIn profile.

The company had raised almost $30 million in VC funding. The last $15 million 
series C round was closed in February 2009.

On its website the company, which competes with the likes of Ceragon Networks 
Ltd. (Nasdaq: CRNT), DragonWave Inc. (AIM/Toronto: DWI; Nasdaq: DRWI) and Siklu 
Communications Ltd. among others, claims to have more than 2,000 customers 
globally, though it seems many of these may be enterprise customers and very 
small ISPs. (See Exalt Raises $15M.)

We'll update the story with any further details that come in.
