[WISPA] Cat5 Grounding
Ok... I have been dreaming a little. I have had a couple direct hits on towers because of the storms through the Midwest and it got me thinking... (ouch it hurts)... We put patch panels at the top and bottom of the towers and usually run bundles of cables between. The more I am getting into the RF world and towers, (I am an IT guy by heart), I am thinking that using the 25 pair lines with an armor/shield would be a better way of going. If I ran 2 - 25 pair runs up a tower, then you can follow the grounding ritual of grounding at the equipment, as it comes off a tower, and just before it enters the building with standard coax grounding kits that Tessco and others sell. Thoughts? Anyone do this currently? Eric WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Crazy Weather
LOL Yeah, we get a LOT of calls that the office gals cant fix. I'll ask if the customers have already rebooted etc. They'll say yes. So I'll go through the routine of having the customer power cycle everything. OK, did you pull out the power plug for the little white box with a green light on it? Customer: Yeah, I just did that but I'll do it again. Next thing you know it's all working fine. The girls HATE it when that happens. Customers just say yes to everything. If they'd just give accurate answers we could be so much more helpful and get things done much faster! As for weather, I spent about 14 hours on Tuesday doing repair work from a couple of storms over the weekend. Power supplies, routers, ethernet adapters etc. A couple of radios. The strangest was when a radio power supply would blow and the ethernet adapter in the computer would blow, but nothing would happen to the router that was in the middle. Go figure. The blown ethernet was 100% HP or Dell on board ethernet adapters. I've seen quite a few of the Dell's go. Fortunately none of the failures was my gear. Knock on wood. I was down there with my bucket truck for part of one of them. In the day the lightning would light things up and we could hear the thunder inside the truck at 60mph. Amazing stuff. One lady that I talked to said she'd lived in the area since the 60's and could count on one hand the number of worse storms that she's seen.

[WISPA] Conficker Attack?
So last night at about 10 pm we started to receive the largest flood I have ever seen. It looked like a DDOS attack, looking into my router the tcp flow showed an input queue of over 100 million pps on my DS3 upstream. By default we block all Microsoft internal ports in and out bound on our upstream. i.e 137 138 445 etc. port 445 deny showed 3.1 million hits. I cleared the counters, contacted my upstream, they see it as well. They input a Access-list to block port 445 and the attack starts dropping off. ( took about 10 mins for the network buffers to clear and the load to drop on my routers ). The question is was this caused by conficker? what other attacks use 445 tcp ? As a side note, my upstream called this morning, asked if they could remove the access-list, stating its policy to only leave ACL's in place for 12 to 24 hours. I asked them If this was conficker what can be done to permently block it. They tell me this is my issue not theres. So I have to take a chance in 12 hours when they remove the ACL that my network will be screwed again. An log export shows in just a 10 minute period over 18,000 address's denyed on 445 tcp. Needless to say it was a long night. and a screwed up morning. Has anyone else experianced a similar flood on 445 recently? Ryan WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Cat5 Grounding
I already use them, but doesn't always help. That is our standard setup now. They have saved us many times, but if we take a direct hit, sometimes the equipment makes it, and sometimes it doesn't. For instance, we got hit last night. Only two sectors blew, the rest are still working 9 total radios operating and 2 dead ones. I was just brainstorming and thought if we could ground the cat5 bundle better, it might keep the potential differences to a minimum by grounding at the top, as it leaves the tower, and as it enters the building.

Re: [WISPA] Crazy Weather
I have been doing tech support for over 10 years now since the dialup days. I have learned two very important lessons when dealing with customers: 1. Always assume the customer is completely computer illiterate and incompetent. Initially treat the customer like you would a 5 year old when explaining something to them. Once you have a grasp for how much they know then you can move a bit quicker. 2. NEVER give the customer a choice. Always ask what have you done, what does the screen say, how do you access your email, which program do you use, etc. Never use leading questions like: have you tried this or does the error message read that. Always assume the customer will lie to you. Yes this its depressing to have to do this, but once you learn to work with customers like this your call times will decrease. You will not run around in circles because it will be harder for the customer to give you false information. You do need patience to listen to everything the customer says, and you will be able to pick out the relevant information to find the problem sooner. The good news is that there are exceptions to this. You will learn which customers are more capable than others and be able to work with them at a higher level. just my 2 cents... - Matt Marlon K. Schafer wrote: LOL Yeah, we get a LOT of calls that the office gals cant fix. I'll ask if the customers have already rebooted etc. They'll say yes.

I have a couple from Purcell. They aren't cheap but are very nice. As an added bonus the factory is only about a 1.5 hour drive from here. I can go pitch a fit in person if anyone needs it :-). Ask them about seconds. Sometimes they make enclosures for people that cancel or don't like them etc. Purcell then has boxes that they just want to dump.

[WISPA] CVI (and other federal clearances) for various wireless projects
I'm working with ADT on some wireless projects, and in addition to TWIC, they told me I need to get this CVI thing for some of the port projects we're doing http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1185556876884.shtm I'm curious if anyone else here has had to do this for any wireless opportunity. (It's an easy thing to qualify for. Just read through the training [about 30 page clicks], answer like 7 questions, put in your contact info, and you get an email with your CVI number.) On a side note, what other certs / clearances / passes are relevant in the federal space? I'm relatively new to working with the government, and am surprised at these various obstacles, which others seem to take for granted. :b WISPA Wants You!
