Re: [WISPA] Redboot help

2011-02-05 Thread Faisal Imtiaz

have you tried these instructions ?

http://www.ubnt.com/wiki/Bullet_Nano_mesh

*http://www.ubnt.com/wiki/Pico2_mesh

Also..  flashing firmware to routers that are running redboot you can 
also use

'fonflash' utility

Anyone here successfully modified redboot configuration? On a

fconfig -w -d /dev/mtd6 -n bootp_my_ip -x 192.168.1.1

and now I get

Config verification failed

anytime I try to perform an operation on the red boot configuration.

Help!

I've got all 4 of my nanostations flashed with OpenWRT. Now I want to
flash them with the ROBIN mesh firmware. Or does anyone know how to get
a mesh operational on stock OpenWRT? I've tried for a few days and can't
get it working. ROBIN mesh seems like the way to go.

And of course I can't flash firmware from the OpenWRT web interface
cause it only accepts the .trx files.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

[WISPA] 900MHz noise

2011-02-05 Thread Scott Reed
I just put up a couple of new towers with MT/XR9 based APs.  When they 
went up about 3 weeks ago, everything was good.  Signals were good.  
Noise level in the 90s.  Customers worked well.
Yesterday we were at a customer that has been problematic for 2 weeks or 
so.  Connected to the radio with power from the truck and the network 
was great.  Didn't really look at noise levels, but signals were good.  
Connected the customer back up and no go.  We found a power supply 
problem and then checked for the signals again.  OH NO, it won't stay 
connected.  Did a scan.  Noise cycles over about 8 seconds like this: 93 
85 70 50 65 70 85 95
So this morning I ran scans from 2 other towers with XR9 APs.  They are 
doing the same thing.  Direction doesn't seem to matter, but I did not 
leave APs in scan mode with customers down long enough to get good 
numbers based on direction.
Any suggestions as to what I am looking for?

Something is frequency hopping, maybe RTK (John Deere, find the offender and
work with them to have them skip your frequencies), Water Department SCADA
(MicroHard sells one that does this to us, gotta reconfigure them to skip
your frequencies), Electric Smart Meters (your screwed if this is it)... You
might be able to move to horizontal?

This is another reason I don't use MT/UBNT 900 any longer, the Canopy can
operate with a noise level of -70 fairly well.

Re: [WISPA] 900MHz noise

2011-02-05 Thread Scott Reed
I have heard that, but in this case every AP another one can see, 
regardless of frequency shows the same numbers at the same time.  It 
looks more like a broad spectrum something, though it could be frequency 
hopping, I suppose.  Wish I had a good spectrum analyzer.


I may be putting 2.4 on at least one of these and just shorten the 
effective range.

Subject: [WISPA] Remote monitoring/ remote reboot

 

Hello,

We've been working on building a remote monitoring/remote reboot
board for awhile now, mostly for internal use. It runs on 9.5-55v, so we
are going to be using it at some of our solar sites to monitor battery
voltage and send alerts if they aren't charging, as well as the
capability to remotely reboot radios. Oh, and it keeps track of
temperature and turns a fan on if it gets too warm/ sends alerts at high
enough temps.

Anyway, we've got a couple out there, and we want to make another
fifteen. However, it looks like it'll be WAY cheaper if we order 100...
so we were wondering if anyone else would be interested in buying some.
I think it'll be around $100 in quantity. If anyone is interested, I can
send the data sheet and screencaps of the web interface. 

 

Thanks!

Kevin

Anyone using Nera gear out there?  I hear it has a bit more transmit
power for longer links.  My concern is out growing its capacity.  Can
multiple channels be added to a single dish to increase throughput?
How does that work?  Looking at picking up a GigE at a datacenter many

I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that the Mikrotik

during the cold spell this last week and it turns out that lots of other

not all of the hardware we use has moved out of the amateur stage yet

Glad I only ever bought ten of them.   They will be getting replaced

FWIW, the 411AH boards I have in place have been just fine.

Is it just me, or are the reset switches on the ns2 just about worthless?

Anyone here got mesh over wifi working on an ns2? Looks like I'm going
to have to go that route, as opposed to flashing with open mesh.

Or is there a secret to making the reset switch work? Not sure why UBNT
disables network access to redboot on the unit. That makes things really
really difficult to work with.

Then when I try to change it, I get the configs not validating error.

 I sometimes have to reboot the NS2 3 or 4 times to get it happy.

 Subject: [WISPA] Redboot help
 
 Anyone here successfully modified redboot configuration? On a
 nanostation2?
 Turns out they don't have telnet on by default. I executed
 
 fconfig -w -d /dev/mtd6 -n bootp_my_ip -x 192.168.1.1
 
 and now I get
 
 Config verification failed
 
 anytime I try to perform an operation on the red boot configuration.
 
 Help!
 
 I've got all 4 of my nanostations flashed with OpenWRT. Now I want to 
 flash them with the ROBIN mesh firmware. Or does anyone know how to 
 get a mesh operational on stock OpenWRT? I've tried for a few days and 
 can't get it working. ROBIN mesh seems like the way to go.
 
 And of course I can't flash firmware from the OpenWRT web interface 
 cause it only accepts the .trx files.
 
 Can anyone help?
 
 Thanks!

Re: [WISPA] Redboot help

2011-02-05 Thread Ryan Spott
The reset switch only works when booting the unit. Connect the
Ethernet Cable and immediately press the Reset button (near the
device’s RJ45 connector) for 10 seconds.

And yes, the openmesh stuff does work, but stick to the pico2hp hardware.

 Anyone here got mesh over wifi working on an ns2? Looks like I'm going
 to have to go that route, as opposed to flashing with open mesh.

 Or is there a secret to making the reset switch work? Not sure why UBNT
 disables network access to redboot on the unit. That makes things really
 really difficult to work with.

 Then when I try to change it, I get the configs not validating error.

They started failing at 0F.Temps got to -25F in a few places.

I'm running the R52 cards in ARC Wireless enclosures.   Prebuilt by my 
vendor.   Someone on another list suggested using a more powerful card 
as the extra heat is enough to keep the board warm.

They are all running fine now, but who knows what will happen when we

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik RB411

2011-02-05 Thread Scott Reed
I have had problems with SR9 cards when cold.  On a few units, also in 
the Arc enclosure, I have put 2 14-volt light bulbs in series and 
powered them from the 24 volt POE to the 411.  Not a problem since then 
with the 2 I have tried this on.

 They started failing at 0F.Temps got to -25F in a few places.

 I'm running the R52 cards in ARC Wireless enclosures.   Prebuilt by my
 vendor.   Someone on another list suggested using a more powerful card
 as the extra heat is enough to keep the board warm.

 They are all running fine now, but who knows what will happen when we
 get another freeze?

 Matt... we have over 1,000 of the regular 411 boards in the air...
 including many point to point backhaul links. We saw temps down to -30F
 this last week and didn't have a single failure.

 I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that the Mikrotik
 RB411 boards are pieces of crap.Half of the ones I have failed
 during the cold spell this last week and it turns out that lots of other
 people have had the same problems.It is very frustrating to see that
 not all of the hardware we use has moved out of the amateur stage yet
 when it comes to quality control and design.

 Glad I only ever bought ten of them.   They will be getting replaced
 with something reliable real soon.

 FWIW, the 411AH boards I have in place have been just fine.

Re: [WISPA] Remote monitoring/ remote reboot

I’m interested.

Subject: [WISPA] Remote monitoring/ remote reboot

Hello,
We've been working on building a remote monitoring/remote reboot board for 
awhile now, mostly for internal use. It runs on 9.5-55v, so we are going to be 
using it at some of our solar sites to monitor battery voltage and send alerts 
if they aren't charging, as well as the capability to remotely reboot radios. 
Oh, and it keeps track of temperature and turns a fan on if it gets too warm/ 
sends alerts at high enough temps.
Anyway, we've got a couple out there, and we want to make another fifteen. 
However, it looks like it'll be WAY cheaper if we order 100... so we were 
wondering if anyone else would be interested in buying some. I think it'll be 
around $100 in quantity. If anyone is interested, I can send the data sheet and 
screencaps of the web interface. 

Thanks!
Kevin
