Re: [WISPA] Solat panels: series or parallel?
Gary, this may be a dumb question - if so don't hesitate to say so. :) Where I live (right in the middle of the US and a couple hundred miles north), there is considerable wind, probably 300 days out of the year. On the days when it's calm, the sun is usually shining brightly in the summer sky. (There are very few grey winter days without wind.) Would adding wind-power to assist with keeping the batteries charged be a bad (or cost-prohibitive) option? (The thought being if it's not windy, it's sunny, and vice-versa...) Sam On 11/19/2013 22:49, Gary Garrett wrote: 5 amps is a pretty hefty load. Try to cut that down by combining radios to one power supply or eliminate unnecessary stuff. Remember the solar charge time in winter is only from 10 AM to 2 PM the rest of the day the charge is much less. You are burning 1/3 of the charging in the load, not much is left for battery charging. Up here I run a small generator 2 hours twice a day at about what your panels are rated at. It sucks and it is expensive but I have been totally Off Grid for 35 years. Gary ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
Re: [WISPA] DDOS attack
The attacks we are seeing are DNS amplification or open web proxy ports. If you have web proxy enabled on your mikrotiks disable that. Same goes for any unneeded services/packages.

Re: [WISPA] DDOS attack
Joe, run the sniffer under tools for 30sec to a minute, and dump file to desktop... open with WireShark to determine for sure of it is mail spam or port attack. Are your routers overloading to 100%, or bandwidth is being overloaded?

Re: [WISPA] Wireless Orbit closing. Interested in new portal provider
Finally! Someone who understands what I am talking about. We have been treating our entire WISP network as a giant hotspot since 2005 or 2006. Doing it this way relieves us of having to bill people. They pay with their card in advance after their interval has expired. Depending on the location it could be 1 hour 1 day 3 days 1 week 1 month 3 months 1 year To try to do that manually would be a nightmare, not to mention still having to process charges, checks, beads, wampum, or whatever else. On our muni mesh networks we give the City a commission already. Same for our marinas. Someone on another list suggested hotspotsystems.com and implied that it would be a great solution. All they want is 25% of my company's GROSS income. No thank you. Wireless Orbit fits the bill pretty well. Has a few features missing that I would like. I have the opportunity to buy the thing and run it myself, and after some of the other solutions I see people trying to sell out there, it is tempting. It would be interesting to see where Billmax is with their solution as well. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Bill Schoolfield Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 9:02 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Wireless Orbit closing. Interested in new portal provider Sorry to jump in on this thread. Someone else called it to my attention and thought we might have something to say about it. To those that have suggested that why not roll your own; Yes this can be done but there are lots of pieces to the puzzle to fit together and if is not your core competency or your haven't the time then a operator may be better off farming out this part of their business to someone with a canned solution. We are fairly familiar with the issues involved as we are just rolling out some sites just as you described. Ie. Using hotspots as a means to control access for subscribers as well as use for their traditional purpose. If you roll your own you will need at a minimum: routers that includes Hotspot functionality, radius, radius hooks to control timeouts, integration with a billing system and payment processor, customer portal, and support for vouchers or prepaid cards. Our solution and those of some our competitors include these components. Traditional hotspot systems don't really do long-lived subscriber management well if at all. Some one mentioned MAC auth; the Mikrotik hotspot does this. It is essential for using a hotspot as a controller for your subscribers as login is transparent and non intrusive.

That isn't what W.O. did or what we want, either. I do not mind paying someone a flat rate to handle my RADIUS requests, bandwidth control, and payments via my authorize.net account. I also do not mind BUYING a system to host in my data center. I am not a web designer or database designer though, so I won't be writing a system. We acquired another company who had a crude system with one rate plan that just used scripts to modify router ACLs. W.O. was way ahead of that. These are not just random hotspots in coffee shops, etc. It is the way the majority of my customers are processed.
