Re: [WISPA] Off-net rebooting

2010-08-05 Thread Marlon K. Schafer
Yeah.  Been there done that.  We set ours to default to ON though.

I also have to be careful to turn off the "allow access from same subnet 
only" option.  That one's dinged me a few times.

I've had 1 or two of these units fail, ever.  I probably have 8 or 10 of 
them out there (more going in from time to time) some for many years now.

laters,

Re: [WISPA] Bandwidth Ratio to Customers

2010-08-05 Thread Marlon K. Schafer
I'd think you'd want about 2 to 3x your max speed limit.  But it depends a LOT 
on what your customer's habits are.

IF you have a lot of gamers or people watching movies online you'll need a lot 
more bandwidth.  If you have people surfing, watching a little youtube, and 
emailing you'll not need much.

We watch our usage and when the system hits 95% of capacity for mroe than a few 
minutes per day we buy more capacity.

That help?

We see each server with about 500 subs sucks down during peak load at
around 50M/s. or around 100 subs per 10M 10 users per meg.
Your mileage may vary.

We rarely see less than 20M for the same 500 subs

Don't forget you can gain some serious isolation by using different
polarities for your backhauls than your customer site.  Tower height
separation is also a good way to gain isolation.

I wish these guys would cooperate more on drivers.  I have a site 
(the injection point) where I really want to blast a couple of 80 
Mbps links out of a Routerboard 800, so it has to be MIMO.  The R52Hn 
boards have roughly the same sensitivity specs "on paper" (on PDF?) 
as the UBNT SR71-15s, and are supported in RouterOS, but I am *not* 
surprised that a pricier UBNT board, with more shielding and heat 
sinks, and perhaps a better front-end transistor under that shield, 
works better in practice.  The money is all in the noise for this 
application (backhaul), but the SR71 family doesn't seem to fully 
work in RouterOS.  Grumble grumble...

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised... it's plastic!  A little metal

[WISPA] Tell Google not to destroy the Internet

They are closing a deal with Verizon on Monday that will essentially
blackmail content providers. "Want your content to get through faster?
Pay us." That is pretty much it in a nutshell. Maybe ISPs around the
world should block Google entirely unless they pay you then.

Both Google and Verizon have already stated that this is false. The New York
Times reporter, I'd guess, just saw "zomg Google and Verizon are talking
about stuff" and invented the rest.

http://mashable.com/2010/08/05/google-verizon-net-neutrality-2/ has a bit
better summary of the issues.

This is about business.   Don't insult us by posting "Huffington" as 
anything but trash.

There's no detail in the story whatsoever, to judge the merits of the 
"conclusions" of the writer, so I assume it's pure trash, like everything 
else on Huffington.

[WISPA] Ubiquiti Link - Poor Performance

2010-08-05 Thread RickG
Here is a good one!

I have a short "link" of about 3 miles from my main tower to another.
On the main tower I have four UBNT 5G-20-90's with RockeyM5's running
firmware 5.2. All have performed very well since I installed them
earlier this year. On the other end at the problem tower I have a 26Db
grid with a BulletM5 also running fw5.2. The link was doing well until
two days ago. Then, the latency went through the roof. I assumed it
was the radio but after switching it out twice, I decided to blame the
antenna. So, I swapped out the grids multiple times. Then decided to
try a Nanostation, and a Nanobridge but got worse results. I'd blame
the sector on the main tower but another link on it remains working
well. There is a topology difference between the working link and the
poor link with the later being higher. There is some noise in the area
but not unusual. What I do note is that the main tower does not "see"
the far end very well (-78) and it should really be much higher. The
receive rate is only 6.5Mbps.

At any rate, I've got about 3 dozen subs on this tower and worked on
it until 5am so I'm ready for some fresh input!

Thanks in advance!

[WISPA] dielectric "compound"

2010-08-05 Thread RickG
With upgrades this year, when I remember, I've been using some
dielectric "compound" I purchased earlier this year. So far,
everything has been fine but I recently noted the label says it
contains silicone and got concerned. Is silicone a bad thing for the
connectors?

Re: [WISPA] Tell Google not to destroy the Internet

2010-08-05 Thread MDK
Want your internet to move faster, pay me more money.I tell my customers 
that.

Wow, what a criminal I am.   Destroying the internet.

Sheesh.Can we get past the noise and on to what an immense opportunity 
this would be for private enterprise to thrash Verizon?

If Qwest, Charter would just get into these agreements,  my phone would ring 
like never before and I'd be hiring people ot keep up with the demand.

All we have to fear is government.Period.

It is the only deadly enemy.

Re: [WISPA] contract for use or tower

2010-08-05 Thread RickG
Contracts are NOT something to be taken lightly. As tempting as it is
to do it without a lawyer, it's not worth it! You only get one shot
and after that you gotta live with it. I've passed out contracts that
were written by a lawyer in past years but found issues with them
myself. They really need to be specific to your needs. So, I had
"Larry the Lawyer" draw up a basic contract for my needs. His rates
are reasonable, and he was a WISP so he knows our business!

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Link - Poor Performance

2010-08-05 Thread Faisal Imtiaz
do the ususal stuff...

Try changing channel ?
Try to shrink the channel to 10mhz or 5mhz

Any possibility of water in the cables  ? or something phyiscally off 
with the coax jumpers ? (AP side ?)

Since you have done everything on the far side. how about looking at the 
AP Side


Run ...Airview to see if there is interference that is not being picked 
up on site survey ?

Re: [WISPA] Coronal Mass Ejection

2010-08-05 Thread Mike
Besides affecting the electrical grid, this very well could now be affecting
your long links at microwave frequency.  The coronal discharge was very
large and may cause the northern lights to be visible tonight and tomorrow
night.  I would be curious if anyone sees any effect on their links during
this event.  Some satellite communications have already been affected.

It is very likely all of us will see some strange things, especially on long
links.  I would suspect it would manifest itself in our business as
unexplained fade and perhaps interference as other signals are bounced off a
charged ionosphere.  Then again, because of the focused radiation of dishes
and sectors, we may see no effect.  Rick, what are you seeing?

It's possible. Going there now. But, other link off sector is working

Thanks Mike for posting this. It's probably easier to see my other
post than to readdress here but basically I'm seeing very bad latency
on one particular link. Not that 3 miles is long, as all my other
links are working well which includes several over 10 miles.

Re: [WISPA] [Motorola II] Bandwidth Sources.

2010-08-05 Thread RickG
My sales guy almost got fired over selling me fiber. His marketing
group (regional) was fighting with the local group. In the end, the
regional chief came to visit our NOC. He then ascertained that I was
no threat to their target customers and that I can keep the
connection.

Re: [WISPA] Coronal Mass Ejection

2010-08-05 Thread Mike
Your three mile link is probably not being affected by CME.  The Canadians
have disaster recovery plans for such events.  Some of the largest grid
failures and satellite communication failures are caused by such phenomenon.
I'd worry more if I was one of the guys running 20 mile links for backhaul,
was responsible for rural overhead long haul lines, or pipelines.  However,
it is always best to be aware in case we do see some odd things which with
the diversity of this group are likely.  Northern latitudes could be
impacted more than southern.  If you live in a dark area, look for the
Aurora Borealis tonight.

Mike

Thanks Mike for posting this. It's probably easier to see my other
post than to readdress here but basically I'm seeing very bad latency
on one particular link. Not that 3 miles is long, as all my other
links are working well which includes several over 10 miles.

Re: [WISPA] [Motorola II] Bandwidth Sources.

2010-08-05 Thread Jon Auer
We had the flip of that.
We purchase IP transit (bandwidth) on GigE from the local operating
company of a national cable operator.
They were supposed to give us IP space with the circuit but IP
allocations are handled by the national group and they refused on the
grounds that they don't sell to ISPs.
Good thing we have our own IP space.

FWIW if you are in Charter Cable Territory. you might consider 
joining FISPA...for their program..

Charter is more than happy to sell (For re-sale or own use) Charter 
Cable Connections across the Charter Territories.
Along with Fiber & their new product "Ethernet over Coax". (virtual

Send some really large packet count pings to the device.  Do you see any

There might be an interference source that cropped up that the regular radio

 but not unusual. What I do note is that the main tower does not "see"
 the far end very well (-78) and it should really be much higher. The
 receive rate is only 6.5Mbps.

 At any rate, I've got about 3 dozen subs on this tower and worked on
 it until 5am so I'm ready for some fresh input!

Loss is right, Big time! The Ubiquiti spectrum analysis shows low

One of those MetaGeek things screwed into your antenna would tell you a lot.
You'd have to carry a laptop (netbook!) and (do this!) carry a USB extension
cable.

If you are sending large packets to a local device with ping, and seeing
loss, I would suspect the CAT5?  Spare one up the tower?  Can you pull a new
one?  Did you recrimp the ends?

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Link - Poor Performance

Yes, I use a netbook cause its so easy to take up the tower. I have no
tried a USB cable on a Rocket yet but I added a "spare" Ethernet cable
last night. No help.

Nothing.  The USB port on the rocket is a USB host, not a USB device/client.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Link - Poor Performance

2010-08-05 Thread Mike
The USB extension would be for the WiSpy device you'd hook to the antenna.
That way you have plenty of cable and don't have to assume a difficult
position.  I have the 2.4G version of the WiSpy but not the 5.8.  It can
tell you a lot for a simple device.

Is there any sort of nearby transmitter where they might have turned up the
power?

Did someone deploy Canopy close to you?

I'd loan you my magic wand, but mine broke.

Also a strange look and a question of "What the hell is all that coax on the

All good.  Salesman boy is history, though.  Will no longer deal with him.

I wish these guys would cooperate more on drivers.  I have a site (the
injection point) where I really want to blast a couple of 80 Mbps links out
of a Routerboard 800, so it has to be MIMO.  The R52Hn boards have roughly
the same sensitivity specs "on paper" (on PDF?) as the UBNT SR71-15s, and
are supported in RouterOS, but I am *not* surprised that a pricier UBNT
board, with more shielding and heat sinks, and perhaps a better front-end
transistor under that shield, works better in practice.  The money is all in
the noise for this application (backhaul), but the SR71 family doesn't seem
to fully work in RouterOS.  Grumble grumble...

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised... it's plastic!  A little metal goes a

They are closing a deal with Verizon on Monday that will essentially
blackmail content providers. "Want your content to get through faster?
Pay us." That is pretty much it in a nutshell. Maybe ISPs around the world
should block Google entirely unless they pay you then.

Contracts are NOT something to be taken lightly. As tempting as it is to do
it without a lawyer, it's not worth it! You only get one shot and after that
you gotta live with it. I've passed out contracts that were written by a
lawyer in past years but found issues with them myself. They really need to
be specific to your needs. So, I had "Larry the Lawyer" draw up a basic
contract for my needs. His rates are reasonable, and he was a WISP so he
knows our business!

Your three mile link is probably not being affected by CME.  The Canadians
have disaster recovery plans for such events.  Some of the largest grid
failures and satellite communication failures are caused by such phenomenon.
I'd worry more if I was one of the guys running 20 mile links for backhaul,
was responsible for rural overhead long haul lines, or pipelines.  However,
it is always best to be aware in case we do see some odd things which with
the diversity of this group are likely.  Northern latitudes could be
impacted more than southern.  If you live in a dark area, look for the
Aurora Borealis tonight.

My latency went from 10 to 57.  I'm in tears.  Really, just In tears!

But it could be because the wife is forcing me to watch the Lifetime Movie

I think it's the latter.

Yes, it is indeed the latter.

Pay us." That is pretty much it in a nutshell. Maybe ISPs around the world

SR71 needs to die.  The other UBNT cards ROCK and blow those MT cards away.
Sorry MT.  I spent much cash or moolah, (Depends on your choice of

I wish these guys would cooperate more on drivers.  I have a site (the
injection point) where I really want to blast a couple of 80 Mbps links out
of a Routerboard 800, so it has to be MIMO.  The R52Hn boards have roughly
the same sensitivity specs "on paper" (on PDF?) as the UBNT SR71-15s, and
are supported in RouterOS, but I am *not* surprised that a pricier UBNT
board, with more shielding and heat sinks, and perhaps a better front-end
transistor under that shield, works better in practice.  The money is all in
the noise for this application (backhaul), but the SR71 family doesn't seem
to fully work in RouterOS.  Grumble grumble...

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised... it's plastic!  A little metal goes a

You have been much sheltered.  I weep for the.

 

But in hindsight, not seeing Star Trek is a positive thing.

I thought as much.  

Always in denial.  An adjustment of your medication may be in order.  I will

Re: [WISPA] Coronal Mass Ejection

2010-08-05 Thread MDK
I've got a number of links and customers and whatnot, in the LONG category, 
many past 20 miles.lots of backhauls over 10 miles.

So far, haven't seen anything I recognize as something unusual.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Link - Poor Performance

2010-08-05 Thread MDK
I've had several UBNT devices lose output power suddenly. Then one side 
of the link is about 18-20 db lower than the other, and the throughput goes 
away, badly.

Do you have a large RXSL differences between sides on any link?

I think I read that the solar flare would only be around 30 microwatts
per square meter once it reached earth.
