Wow!  My first thought when you started was not enough power but then read
you changed the power supply.  Still sounds like power though.   Did you
check the power where you are plugging that supply into?  Anything else
running off that circuit like any motors or high surge items?   What about
firmware?  Did you try flashing up or down and maybe match any MT board this
one is talking to?  Stranger things have happened.  

 

I agree with the frustration about the 433ah slots being too close, but MT
will say that their cards fit just fine!  I'm in the same boat with you on
that.  Installed a 600a with the daughterboard on one AP just to get around
that same problem.  I've also used a 433ah and a 433 with level 4 and got it
to work.

I had a whole lot planned for this weekend, instead I spent 15 hours of it
working on an AP that won't behave.  It's the third long fix period I've had
to do for Microtik this weekend, while I do have 20 AP's and backhauls under
that brand, none work easily, and the frustrations are plentiful.

 

SO Last week we upgraded a prizim chip to an XR2 on a three radio card 133c.
We started to have problems with the new card randomly dropping then after
disable/enable would come back up.  As the week went on it happened more
frequently.  First solution, change out the new card, no difference.  The
next was a new power supply.  Figured that was it since the 133 was running
on a 12v, we upgraded to an 18iv, no change.  So this weekend upgraded to a
433ah board and the three cards (2 XR2's and 1 SR1 as you know you can't put
three XR2's in a 433 cause they made the slots too close together), no
change, now the board wouldn't drop the connections it just increased
latency dramatically after a few minutes, then resume low pings (average at
this tower is 4ms) for about 50 cycles then get worse until about 4000 then
time outs.

 

Today after manually entering the 120 people on the new board (four hours
since you can't cut/paste to a Microtik) the ethernet port dropped.  I
should point out I'm on my third trip up my steepest mountain where my jeep
struggles to get up it.  Power cycle and it's up (yes I'm well aware of
remote reboot systems but its never been a problem so it was low priority).
Tonight my after hours is slammed with "my Internet is so slow" calls from
that tower and sure enough 4000ms pings.  I've spent all weekend on it and I
don't know what else to do, any ideas out there?  I know these radio's
pretty well so I've tried the simple stuff (adjust power, change
frequencies, blah blah)  HELP!

 

Not a pretty weekend,

Re: [WISPA] Gettin sick of Microtik

[Paul Hendry]

Are you running NStreme as 120 clients seems a lot for an NStreme enabled AP 
without wireless-test package? Do you have latency to clients on all radio 
cards or just 1? Have you disabled connection tracking and default forward on 
the radio cards?

Re: [WISPA] BBS'n

[Robert West]

I gripe about that almost every day, as in how tight the programming was.
We really didn't have the careless bugs as now.  There was no room.  The
quality of the software was mostly out of necessity. Now it's all so bloated
with useless junk.  These kids these days  why back in my day we didn't
need 4 digits for the year, we just used 2 and we liked it!  Your Y2K be
damned.

Oh, god no! I bought so much TRS-80 crap that in 1998, the manager of my
local Radio Shack called me up and asked me to come over.  They were under
orders to clean out the stock room of old stuff and he had a pile of new in
the box TRS-80's and all sorts of odd ball accessories.  Mine for free he
said, he was told to destroy and dispose of it.  Wasn't much use to me then,
heck, it was 1998 for Pete's sake.  But I took it and slowly used the bits
for something or gave things away.  Wish I had it all now.

Re: [WISPA] Handheld GPS recommendations, anyone?

[ralph]

OK-

As long as we are BBSing, I actually wrote  the TIBBSR BBS in the early
1980s and ran the "Flagship TIBBS" from my home near Atlanta.

 

I believe that in its heyday, there were over 100 systems running around the
US.

Even though Texas Instruments said that a TI-99/4 could not operate that
way, I obtained all the manuals for the communication and video chips they
used and wrote routines to do all the serial I/O  and storage.

The system could remotely identify other TIs and close the door on those
"Rataris, Commode-Door Ick 20's and Rotten Apples" if the Sysop chose to.

Your terminal also spoke to you and welcomed you to the system if you had
the speech synthesizer.

All this in 24K of BASIC programming and 8K of 9900 Assembly language.

 

Frank, also of Brightlan, was behind the FJ&J real time clock/calendar card
that was marketed for the TI.

 

Some stuff about TIBBS is here: http://ralphfowler.com/ti994a.html

 

Those were good times.

 

Ralph

Re: [WISPA] Mountain Top Grounding

[Tom Sharples]

The standard approach is to build a ground plane, which can consist of an 
array of e.g. #12 stranded radiating outward in all directions from the base 
of your tower, to a distance equal or greater than the height of the tower. 
You don't have to bury these cables; they can float on or above the dirt as 
convenient.

Re: [WISPA] Mountain Top Grounding

[Gary Garrett]

All of my sites are like that. Your real ground is the Power company 
neutral. They pound a rod at every meter, transformer, and splice box. 
Each pole also has a copper plate on the bottom with the weight of the 
pole on it.  All the way back to Hoover Dam.

Drive the ground rods at a little bit of an angle, drive lots of them, 
one at each Tower leg and each corner of the building. Connect them all 
together in a circle (Halo.) Try to route the #4 copper ground wire 
inside the building so it is hard to steal. Cad weld it if you can.
Use a rod driver, looks like a fence post driver, if one only goes 1/2 
way use it anyway. Cut it off and sharpen the end with a grinder and 
drive the other half.

The tower set in concrete is also ground, connect it in the Halo along 
with every conduit that is nearby.

Ground is ground the world around.

I see a trend. I guess running an ISP or a WISP is a natural progression
from a BBS.  

 

Makes sense to me.

[WISPA] Mountain Top Grounding

[D. Ryan Spott]

I have a site I am putting in on a mountain-top consisting of "stacked  
rocks".  Well, they were stacked by glaciers, Techtonic movements,  
Paul Bunyan etc... Mostly 6"-30" across with bedrock downthere  
somewhere.


Do any of you have a site like this? How did you or the site owner  
ground the site? I don't see grounding rods working really well.

Remember watching the lights dim when you turned it on?

Re: [WISPA] VPN's

[RickG]

Well, they call it vpn. Either way, their application drops the
connection yet the internet stays connected according to my monitor.
I'm gonna replace their radio with a better unit that gives me logs
and better diagnostics.
Thanks! -RickG

Re: [WISPA] VPN's

[Jerry Richardson]

We had the same issues with Citrix on Canopy. IIRC it was with older Citrix 
platforms.

Generally VPN should work with a static IP - VPN is not happy behind Double NAT.

QoS priority on the VPN at the customer router will help - paticularly if they 
have any heavy pps programs running.

Ran into the Citrix problem a long time ago.  Most data programs are 
sensitive to dropped packets.  The problem with Citrix is that the 
packets were small.  The program was written to work as a database 
across a local area network.  Once WANs became common and the 
databases were centralized I think the programmers modified the 
code.  Is someone running an old LAN version of Citrix?

Re: [WISPA] VPN's

[can...@believewireless.net]

No one has complained about this from us in years, but when we had
some customers on Trango gear, Citrix would always drop.  Since we
started using gear that has ARQ, we haven't heard a peep from anyone
about this.

Citrix is VERY sensitive to dropped packets and I believe their was
some posts on DSL Reports several years ago on what Citrix
administrators could do to lessen this but don't remember any of the
specifics.
