Re: FW: Cisco Aironet 350 Series Bridges Incompatible with 340 [7:50056]
This is not entirely true. I've had 34x bridges talking to 352 bridges in stable configurations for long periods of time. Note that I wouldn't recommend this in the real world ... I got it done by accident one day, not knowing any better.

Cisco Aironet Bridge 500 [7:48344]
Hi guys, I have an Aironet Bridge 500 that I tried upgrading the firmware to. Cisco's website basically says that the 340 series and 500 series firmware is the same. So anyway, I tried upgrading it, and the radio crashed. Now I am unable to console into the Aironet, and I can't get in through the Ethernet Port either. Has anyone seen anything like this? Is there a way to do a forced reload on the Aironet that would help me get in?

RE: Cisco Aironet [7:38382]
Using Cisco's handy antenna calculation tool, here's some numbers to consider: 30w power of the 340 + 13.5dBi Yagi on both ends + NO CABLE = 2M for 7 miles Required antenna height above obstructions = 50 feet 30w power of the 340 + 12dBi omni on both ends + NO CABLE = 2M for 6.2 miles Required antenna height above obstructions = 36 feet 30w power of the 340 + 12dBi omni on one end+ 340 PCM adapter + NO CABLE = 2M for 1.6 miles Required antenna height above obstructions = 23 feet If you can't meet the obstruction requirements, you WILL have reduced range. Adding a cable between AP and antenna will reduce range. Modifying antenna's is probably something the FCC frowns upon, especially if you kill all the 2.4ghz phones in the neighborhood!! Sounds like a fun weekend project!! Let us know how you make out.

Re: cisco aironet question [7:30926]
What model and antenna are you using? How thick is the vegetation? I setup a building to building wireless link this summer using BR342s on each end, with a Yagi high-gain on one side and a omni high gain on the other. The distance was approximately 400m through approximately 100m of tree canopy. I get about 500kbit transfer rate at maximum gain, but it's completely reliable even through rain and snow. The speed isn't a problem since the link is for Internet access only and I only guarantee 384kbit throughput for the WAN connection. As usual, your mileage may vary.

Re: cisco aironet question [7:30926]
Yes, the signal go through trees, but you will need to calculate your db losses correctly and take the trees into account. You'll need to ask yourself these questions: How many trees are there? How dense are the trees? etc.etc. Check out this link: http://www.qsl.net/n9zia/wireless/page09.html That link above is awesome for wireless stuff. It has loss calculators in there and a bunch of other goodies. Things that will effect your loss calculation: 1) Your antennas 2) Your antennas 3) Your antennas (make my point yet?) 4) radios' transmit power 5) radios' receive sensitivity 6) distance between your antennas (known as free-space loss) 7) the "stuff" in-between your antennas 8) an amplifier, if you are using one 9) the cabling to the antenna 10) the connectors or splitters used from the radio to the cables or from the cables to the antenna 11) anything I missed. :) If you do your loss calculation correctly, and you have a positive db left over, you should be okay (dont forget about the fresnel zone as well). Go with a couple of Lucent ORiNOCO AP-500s for the wireless if you want to save some money. Get the "gold" PCMCIA radio cards (RC4 encryption). Ive been playing with the Lucent ORiNOCO AP-1000 and it's way cool!

RE: cisco aironet question [7:30926]
Aironet's biggest enemy is water. Trees are made up mostly of water, and therefore the signal is unable to penetrate branches or leaves. My only suggestion is to cut them down or put the bridges on top of a tower or find some way to bounce the signal around the trees.

question about Cisco Aironet Access Point [7:24050]
Hi! I have a quick question for you Wireless gurus. I am working on a project to set up a MAC security filter on some Aironet Access Points. Here is the problem: The Engineer who originally configured the access points is gone and did not leave the passwords. No problem. I downloaded the password recovery/reset procedures from Cisco's website and successfully reset 5 of the access points. However, on one of them, I noticed the AP Installation key was not there. I don't know if it got wiped out on a previous reset or what, but it is GONE. Therefore, it is not letting me reset the device. I have opened a case with the Cisco TAC and am awaiting a response. Does anyone know what my next step is going to have to be? I have a sinking feeling it is going to have to be sent back to Cisco to be reset. I just want to let my customer know and don't know how long it will be before Cisco will call me. Thanks!

Re: Cisco Aironet vs Lucent ORiNOCO [7:20954]
Start looking at some of the added Aironet features. Such as LEAP for dynamic WEP keys. Also the Aironet cards do WEP in hardware, while the Lucent cards use the PC's processor for doing WEP, this can cause some latency and thruput issues. Also take a look at the Air Snort documentation, it will discuss what is necessary for breaking the WEP key. The Cisco Aironet products don't have any of these drawbacks. I'm sure a single fixed WEP key could be broken by a determined individual, but according to Cisco it ain't going to be done in a day.

RE: Cisco Aironet vs Lucent ORiNOCO [7:20954]
Steiven, I've been looking at the Avaya/Lucent product vs. Cisco too. There was a review done in Mobile Computing August 2001 issue. For what it's worth they liked the Cisco. I know for a fact that the Avaya product is what one of the local vendors is rolling out. I've spoken with the local Avaya reps and they are pretty confident about thier product. Avaya will tell you that they are better on the battery life then "Others" but looking at the review in mobile computing that's seems to stem from a lower send/receive power and I would think that that also lends to a shorter range than Cisco. In short both appear to be good enterprise products. You can also get third party billing packages that work with the Avaya line. This is a big selling point on the Cisco web site that makes you think that no one else has it.

RE: Cisco Aironet 340
Rodgers, We use the omni-directional yagi antenna. Perhaps the directional antenna may help. The configuration worked pretty well until around a month ago when the interference began. Prior to that signal strength and quality were high. I don't believe normal cellular transmissions interfere with the bridge however, it appears that interference occurs only during testing periods of the cellular tower. This is largely my guess since I am not up for a spread spectrum analysis of something I couldn't correct. Voicestream itself wasn't responsive to queries regarding their cell tests, but the FCC informed us that indeed the cell carrier is capable of interfering with the bridge since our frequency is unlicensed.

RE: Cisco Aironet 340
Dennis, That is basically what it is...wireless networking. The Aeronet card will slide into the PCMCIA slot on your laptop. You will also have to have wireless hub(s) installed. At least one for each floor where you want to implement the wireless cards. We use two per floor here where I work so that all users can obtain a good reception from pretty much anywhere on the floor. You will also probably want to employ the wireless encryption (WEP) so that someone cannot pick up your network from outside your building or your elevator lobby area. ;-) We use Lucent technology here so I am not as familiar with the Cisco product line but I believe most (if not all) of the wireless use the same standard.

RE: Review of Cisco Aironet
We're using 802.11b in our office and we love it. We use the Apple AirPort base station, which is made by Lucent but sells for only $299. It supports up to 10 users but you need a Macintosh to configure it (or a freeware Java app). As far as NICs, we're using Lucent PCMCIA cards. We're getting true 11Mbps at distances of roughly 30-50 meters. The Lucent & Aironet basestations are considerably more expensive, but offer more features and functionality. The airport offers pretty good access control as well. I plan on buying an Airport for the house in a few weeks.

There have been problems with the new code they are using. They apparently changed to a new radio and a new OS (VxWorks) when they started the 4800 series units. One of the biggest problems to my mind is the lack of any scalable and secure method of controlling client access to the network. Currently, the only ways to control access to the access-points are via the SSID and (optionally) WEP keys.

RE: Review of Cisco Aironet
I have an Aironet 4800b access point and a couple of client cards. There have been problems with the new code they are using. They apparently changed to a new radio and a new OS (VxWorks) when they started the 4800 series units. One of the biggest problems to my mind is the lack of any scalable and secure method of controlling client access to the network. Currently, the only ways to control access to the access-points are via the SSID and (optionally) WEP keys. But since these two 'secrets' have to be revealed in order for a client to get access, I don't consider them to be access control of any practical sort. Ideally, there'd be a way to allow/deny based upon MAC address, preferably in a way that is centrally managable, but that functionality is lacking in the 10.12 code, and I consider that to be a HUGE barrier to large scale rollout.

RE: Review of Cisco Aironet
I have deployed the Aironet Wireless LAN between two of our buildings. The buildings are 300 yards apart. There is a clear line of site. We have approx 20 users coming across the line for email, file and print services, internet access and a few client server apps. The 11mbps is half duplex. The most I have ever seen it deliver is 60% of that theoretical capacity (Which is consistent with shared Ethernet technology) I am extremely happy with the Aironet, it is very stable, very easy to setup and the price is right (Compared to alternate wired solutions). The maximum distance for the B500 bridge is about 3 miles with a clear line of site. If you want to run encryption on the line then you can drop the theoretical throughput to 5.5mbps. If you have a lot of radio interference at 2.3 GHZ then this might not be the best solution. However, you can tweak the frequency and try to avoid other devices on that frequency.

RE: Review of Cisco Aironet
Hi there I have worked with these beasts before Cisco decided to buy up the whole kaboodle (Aironet) They work well as long as you dont have interference concerning line of sight . Sometimes they can really get full of sh.. nonsense in a bridge type environment . They have to be line of sight and being outdoors & all they can be bastards to work with . Metal interferences & so on is not good !! They work in fog & mist as far as I know , but not when a metal object ccross/obscure the view/line of sight . Sitting on top of a Silo's roof in a harbour with a 10 inch kerb with a wind blowing there really want to make you get of there a.s.a.p I believe we used 2Meg throughput there . They can work quite a distance . Ours is in the vicinity of about 4 to 5 kms I think ( thats 3miles = 4.8 kms) Hope it helps a bit Cheers Olden -Original Message- From: Collin Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Review of Cisco Aironet Is anyone using/deployed Cisco's WLAN solution (Aironet)?
