Re: [AFMUG] Gigabit Ethernet on Cambium 450i only running 100Mbps

2016-09-10 Thread George Skorup
Not throwing any blame around here. Just trying to help. Like I said, 
I'm not real worried about GigE on the regular 450 APs... yet. Would be 
nice to find a solution to this problem so we can eventually run gigabit 
when the 5GHz finally gets approved for 30MHz channel bandwidth. And of 
course Cambium get a stable official build done with 30MHz support. 
Probably not too far off from that at this point though, maybe by the 
end of the year.


Then there's the 450i. And the 450m down the road. The 450i can take 
2-pair or 4-pair power. If you're using the aux port for POE output to 
another radio, then you really need to power it on 4 pairs. The 450m's 
60 (or was it 70?) watts will no doubt demand all four pairs. And both 
need 56VDC. 24/29.5 is fading away.. finally. And I'm guessing Cambium 
will make the regular 450 AP fade away too. We haven't deployed any 
450i. No need yet. Probably just end up jumping to the 450m where we 
need the capacity.


Anyway, my point is, 4-pair power plus the sync pulse + GigE-APC/SS-HV I 
foresee being bad for 10/100 as well as gigabit. Cambium set it up real 
nice on the 450i though. It'll take either polarity on each pair. So I 
suppose you could set it up to put positive on 4/5 & 7/8, negative on 
1/2 & 3/6, then maybe 10/100 would still work at least.


If you and Forrest want to collaborate on it or something, that would be 
cool. If you come up with a new GigE-APC prototype to resolve this, I'd 
be more than willing to give you real world results.


Then there will be 1588v2 timing. Which is all fine and good. But I 
won't be ripping out sync-over-power when this becomes available. But 
everything is becoming "I wants my netflicks, now!" So I really want 
every AP having at least two full-time timing sources going forward if 
possible.

My site is a GigE PowerInjector+Sync. No changes to the jumpers. Took 
it out of the box, plugged it in. The injector shows 23.9 volts (from 
a RSD 48 to 24 converter) on PowerA. PowerB has nothing connected. Two 
5GHz 450 APs on ports 1 & 2, two 3.6GHz 450 APs on ports 3 & 4. ~225 
feet of shielded cable to each radio.


I would assume the same. Probably would be worse on 48/56v. I wouldn't 
expect this on 24V systems though. I believe Matt said his setup is a 
GigE SyncInjector, GigE-APC-HV's and PTP-450i's, which would 
definitely require 48-56VDC. 450i's need at least 40 volts at the 
radio, IIRC.


I just confirmed this at another site where we added a GigE 
PowerInjector+Sync with two 5.7 450 APs and one 3.6 450 AP. Slightly 
less cable, about 185 feet. The 3.6 AP doesn't have an in-line SS yet. 
Radio direct to injector port. Ethernet directly to a RB1100AHx2 port. 
I just powered that AP back up and switched it to negotiate 1000F. 
Main status page shows 1000Base-T FDX and receiving sync on the power 
port. MT port shows 1Gbps FDX. No errors. This one is fed similarly, 
just regulated 24VDC on PowerA. The two 5.7 APs are on older L-com 
10/100 suppressors, so obviously I can't test gigabit on those.


So yeah, I can pretty much confirm what Matt is seeing. The sync pulse 
+ GigE-APC-HV in line appears to be the culprit. Am I remembering that 
Chuck said the GigE HV's clamp at 69 volts on all pairs? Seems like 
that should be enough headroom for 24VDC + the sync pulse. Perhaps the 
cable length is pushing it over the edge.


I believe negotiation takes place on the 10/100 pairs only? Then the 
radio's PHY has a feature called Ethernet@Wirespeed. If it doesn't see 
data (or in this case loses I guess) on the 4/5 and/or 7/8 pairs, then 
it gives up on GigE and falls back to 10/100 negotiation. That's why 
the link is bouncing at 1Gbps a couple times at boot and then settles 
on 100 FDX. SS clamps due to the sync pulse. No gigabit for u!

Uh oh. I figured it out. It was as I suspected. The SS is clamping due to 
the sync pulse. Maybe the change that Forrest made with the Rev i0 
SyncInjectors/PowerInjector+Sync because of the 450i's finicky handling of the

guess. I don't have any Rev i0 Gigabit SyncInjectors to test with, but I assume 
I'd get the same result.

I set the AP back to negotiate GigE. Turned off the sync on the injector 
port feeding that radio. Rebooted the AP. Link stays up at gigabit with no 
problems. Then I turned the sync pulse back on and the link dropped almost 
instantly.

The one case where we had a customer with the problem try things, they removed 
the protection from pin 7 and it started behaving itself for a while, but the 
problem came back.  

No, everything we make is HV now.  We stopped making HV quite some time ago.  
So if it is clamping spikes on pin 7 it has to be in the 80 volt range.  Might 
have come interaction with cable induction.

Yes, by all means I will test with anything anyone sends me.  
And I can up the voltages.

Actually the change I made should have made this better,  not worse
I've rounded the pulse off so it is less spikey.

Re: [AFMUG] Gigabit Ethernet on Cambium 450i only running 100Mbps

2016-09-09 Thread George Skorup
So, what do you think? Based on my test, it's definitely the sync pulse 
disrupting the GigE data, at least on the 7/8 pair I'm guessing.


Is it possible that we have HV marked modules that are in fact not HV? I 
assume you have two different assembly lines for regular and HV? Or do 
you just do batches of one or the other? Either one would probably rule 
that out.


It would really suck to have to pull out the SS's to get GigE on the 450 
when we finally get 30MHz channel support. No surge suppression at all 
scares me. 20MHz channel width really doesn't need gigabit which is why 
I've never bothered with it.


Maybe Forrest would be willing to send you one of his new 
PowerInjector+Sync modules and a SyncPipe for debugging?


And with the 450i taking power on all four pairs, I could see the sync 
pulse causing the SS to clamp on the 10/100 data pairs, too. Meaning 
100Mbps won't work either. Just speculation, but it seems logical.


What else could you do other than let say 90 volts though instead of, 
what is it on the HV now, 65 or 70 volts? Or maybe some slightly slower 
reacting diodes? But I guess either case opens up the potential (pardon 
the pun) for damage.

Uh oh. I figured it out. It was as I suspected. The SS is clamping due 
to the sync pulse. Maybe the change that Forrest made with the Rev i0 
SyncInjectors/PowerInjector+Sync because of the 450i's finicky 
handling of the pulse over long runs? I have no idea. So much for GigE 
+ sync over power I guess. I don't have any Rev i0 Gigabit 
SyncInjectors to test with, but I assume I'd get the same result.


I set the AP back to negotiate GigE. Turned off the sync on the 
injector port feeding that radio. Rebooted the AP. Link stays up at 
gigabit with no problems. Then I turned the sync pulse back on and the 
link dropped almost instantly.

2016-09-09 Thread George Skorup
I upgraded two CRS125-24G-1S-RM's to 6.36.3 (current branch). Both brand 
new out of the boxes. Upgraded boot firmware to 3.33 on both. Reset both 
to defaults. Ether24 to ether24 linked up at 1Gbps FDX. Ran MT bandwidth 
tests between them. No issues.


Then I put a GigE-APC-HV in between with a 50' patch cable on one side 
and a 10' on the other side. Tried with and without the ground attached. 
Ran more bandwidth tests. No link drops. No errors.


So... I have no idea why you're having problems. The ones I have are 
definitely HV Rev A1's.

I will test with anyone that wants to loan me gear.  I really don't want to 
keep buying every possible combination.
The dedicated ethernet test equipment never shows a problem.  Actually, so 
far, I have not found a problem that was unrelated to the occasional failure 
during manufacturing inspection.

Ouch.  I sell probably 1000 of these a month.  I have heard a similar 
story

a couple of times.  Did my own lab replication and did not find anything
wrong.  It always has to do with Cambium.  No idea yet what may be
happening.


We have a lot of these deployed.  Really only needing 1000base on our
PTP450i units when we use wider channels.

Have you tested with a Mikrotik CRS?  I fail to get 1000base from
Mikrotik CRS to CRS with them as well.






I am currently testing an ePMP powered off a Netonix switch with 65’ of
cable to the GigE-APC surge suppressor and then 165’ to the AP.
Rock solid at Gige.  Everything looks good.

Have you tried to cut and isolate.  Say with a Cambium power supply and a
laptop.
Start at the AP and work your way back adding components until you find
what is causing it to break?

I know that now and then the pins in the RJ45s in the surge suppressors
and other components can get a bit contaminated and some alcohol and a q 
tip

will fix the problem.



Went back today.


I have Mikrotik CRS > 52 volts > PacketFlux Gige SyncInjector > GigEAPC
HV Rev A.1 > 100 foot STP > PMP450i.  Will not do 1000base.



Removed the GigEAPC HV and replaced with a Monoprice RJ-45 coupler.
Linked and stayed up at 1gbps.  Put the GigeAPC back in.  Mikrotik
logs show.

15:51:53 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down
15:51:55 interface,info ether9-slave-local link up (speed 1G, full duplex)
15:51:56 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down

15:51:59 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down
15:52:01 interface,info ether9-slave-local link up (speed 1G, full duplex)
15:52:02 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down

15:52:08 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down
15:52:09 interface,info ether9-slave-local link up (speed 100M, full 
duplex)


In the end it gives up and goes back too 100M.

Also, have Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S -> thirty foot of unshielded cat-5e
-> GigEAPC-HV -> Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S

It will only link at 100M also but if I remove the GigEAPC and replace
with monoprice RJ45 coupler it links and stays at 1Gbps.  Both routers
on latest firmware and stable/current ROS.

Have tried different GigEAPC units, new ends and have checked that
everything is grounded correctly to electrical ground.

Ideas?

Ouch.  I sell probably 1000 of these a month.  I have heard a similar story 
a couple of times.  Did my own lab replication and did not find anything 
wrong.  It always has to do with Cambium.  No idea yet what may be 
happening.

I am currently testing an ePMP powered off a Netonix switch with 65’ of 
cable to the GigE-APC surge suppressor and then 165’ to the AP.

Rock solid at Gige.  Everything looks good.

Have you tried to cut and isolate.  Say with a Cambium power supply and a 
laptop.
Start at the AP and work your way back adding components until you find 
what is causing it to break?


I know that now and then the pins in the RJ45s in the surge suppressors 
and other components can get a bit contaminated and some alcohol and a q 
tip will fix the problem.


Went back today.

I have Mikrotik CRS > 52 volts > PacketFlux Gige SyncInjector > GigEAPC 
HV Rev A.1 > 100 foot STP > PMP450i.  Will not do 1000base.


Removed the GigEAPC HV and replaced with a Monoprice RJ-45 coupler.
Linked and stayed up at 1gbps.  Put the GigeAPC back in.  Mikrotik
logs show.

15:51:53 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down

15:52:08 interface,info ether9-slave-local link down
15:52:09 interface,info ether9-slave-local link up (speed 100M, full duplex)

In the end it gives up and goes back too 100M.

Also, have Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S -> thirty foot of unshielded cat-5e
-> GigEAPC-HV -> Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S

It will only link at 100M also but if I remove the GigEAPC and replace
with monoprice RJ45 coupler it links and stays at 1Gbps.  Both routers
on latest firmware and stable/current ROS.

Have tried different GigEAPC units, new ends and have checked that
everything is grounded correctly to electrical ground.

Ideas?

Pin to pin and pin to ground I have less capacitive loading than the

They have some other circuitry that I have yet to puzzle out.
Something that is not related to surge suppression.

In any event, your unit, a brand new unit from my stock and the cambium

I have several sites with GigE-APC-HV's and GigE-POE-APC's that run GigE 
with no issues, other than them clamping during thunderstorms and cause 
some CRC errors which is perfectly acceptable. 450's, licensed radios. 
All kinds of stuff. No 450i APs though. Well, most of the 450s I just 
leave at the default Auto 100F/100H/10F/10H since there's no real reason 
for gigabit until we get 30MHz channel support. But I have tested it 
with Forrest's new GigE PowerInjector+Sync injectors and it does work fine.


The only thing I can think of is to try turning off the sync pulse on 
the SyncInjector and see what you get. Per port via software, or just 
unplug the SyncPipe if you're on site.

No, the reason I’m asking is I’m seeing the LED totally off when

I am seeing on the actual AP is:

10M: red

100M: green

1000M: off, nothing, nada, zilch, dark, devoid of visible radiation

It really screwed me up because I thought there was no link,

I've seen this a lot - the Intel 1000BaseT server NICs all use
yellow-orange for an active 1000Mbps link, and green for 100Mbps.
Seems counter intuitive but it is sort of a 'standard'.

Such as the i350-T2 and others.

450i radios are rated for the 56v unlike the 450 radios
they are rated for cambium std 29v
This is the reason I am having to upgrade all of my boxes

Re: [AFMUG] Gigabit Ethernet on Cambium 450i only running 100Mbps

2016-05-16 Thread George Skorup
FYI, I got a couple 450 APs (not 450i's) with busted LEDs. One the power 
LED simply doesn't light up. The other one is one of the GPS or session 
LEDs. Both seemed to work fine, so we said screw it and installed.


Then we got a new 5GHz 450 SM that wouldn't power up. Tweak the cable 
just right and it would come on. I suspect a bad solder joint on the 
RJ45. And a new 3GHz SM had a component rattling around inside. Small 
surface mount ceramic cap or resistor fell out.


This is probably out of the hundred or so we've bought so far this year. 
Not a very high out of box defective rate at all. Just wanted to mention 
it. The pessimist in me says they're having some soldering problems in 
Mexico. But what do I know.

No, the reason I’m asking is I’m seeing the LED totally off when 
running at 1000 Mbps.  Not orange like the user guide says.  What I am 
seeing on the actual AP is:


10M: red

100M: green

It really screwed me up because I thought there was no link, until I

No Joy. Everything checks out 100%.

I bought one the cambium units for comparison. Its impulse
breakdown voltage is about 5 volts to ground lower than my
unit for single pin to ground. Transverse impulses are
clamped much lower on the cambium unit but normally that
is not an issue.

Pin to pin and pin to ground I have less capacitive
loading than the cambium unit.

They have some other circuitry that I have yet to puzzle out.

I’m actually having trouble negotiating GigE with some 450i APs on the bench 
right now using my laptop, short cables, and a Cambium 56V POE.  The first one 
went OK, the next two the speed LED on the AP is either red (10Mbps) or off 
(???).  If I connect it to a 100M device, or configure it to 10H/10F/100H/100F, 
everything is fine.  But just connecting it to the GigE interface on my laptop, 
it doesn’t negotiate 100M, it flat out doesn’t work.  I tried connecting it to 
a GigE Mikrotik port and got the same thing, so it’s not my laptop.

 

Note there is no Sync Injector or surge protector involved, just the Motorola 
official 450i POE.

Got them to put the thing outside the house and ground it to the house ground

One possible difference is that your changing the impedance of the ground path. 
 Try using the same wire to connect to ground and ground out the surge module… 
you may find that the issue is low impedance causing a ground loop to travel 
your cable. 

 

In that event the solution is to give the current a lower impedance path that 
isn’t through your cable or at least only on the shield of your cable.

 

I use shielded patch panels before my surge modules and that creates a drain 
for the shield that has lower impedance (generally) then other paths.

 

Ideally you would run a ground cable up your tower for all of your equipment 
that is large enough wire to be the best path to ground.

 

 

Remember that this isn’t just about shorting grounds to the earth ground but 
you also have ground currents and static electricity created by wind etc that 
causes stray electricity that can interfere with your systems.

  One possible difference is that your changing the impedance of the ground 
path.  Try using the same wire to connect to ground and ground out the surge 
module… you may find that the issue is low impedance causing a ground loop to 
travel your cable. 

   

  In that event the solution is to give the current a lower impedance path that 
isn’t through your cable or at least only on the shield of your cable.

   

  I use shielded patch panels before my surge modules and that creates a drain 
for the shield that has lower impedance (generally) then other paths.

   

  Ideally you would run a ground cable up your tower for all of your equipment 
that is large enough wire to be the best path to ground.

   

   

  Remember that this isn’t just about shorting grounds to the earth ground but 
you also have ground currents and static electricity created by wind etc that 
causes stray electricity that can interfere with your systems.
