Re: [AFMUG] FSK AP thinks default plug is in
I haven't had that happen on an AP, but I've had it happen on SMs. Probably the problem occurred awhile ago and only got revealed when the AP rebooted. I opened one of the SMs up thinking there was crud across the pins on the jack, but no, and no amount of cleaning with alcohol would fix it. I also seem to remember Paul from PDMNet confirming it's not as simple as something shorting the pins on the jack. So it's repairable, but probably some component needs to be replaced. -Original Message- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Craig Baird Sent: Monday, September 26, 2016 11:31 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] FSK AP thinks default plug is in I'm pretty sure I've seen this question posted before, but I don't recall the verdict.

Re: [AFMUG] FSK AP thinks default plug is in
I am guessing some kind of ESD protection component shorted (if you are lucky). Removing the part would fix the problem. But if it is a logic input fried, that chip will have to be replace.

Re: [AFMUG] FSK AP thinks default plug is in
I had a 5700BH20 with over a year uptime. Same thing, power went out and it was default plugged when it booted back up. Yeah, in that year it could've been an ESD event that killed the diode or whatever it is that goes bad. We had this happening enough that I asked Cambium to allow us to override/ignore the default plug, but that never went anywhere. Kinda moot now since 13.4.1 is the end of the yellow brick road. The P8 and P9 boards had this happen frequently. P10 and P11's almost never. FSK isn't even worth getting fixed anymore. Just buy some cheap used radios for spares and send the bad ones to the round filing cabinet. That's what we've been doing for two years now.
