Re: [WISPA] Convert Single Pol to Dual Pol
Since your dishes are older most likely the dual polarity horn will not fit
without cutting out a notch for the other N connector to fit thru the hole.
Newer pac dishes have this notch already there. We've had to do this on
quite a few upgrades this summer.

[WISPA] Motorola PTP 600 Link
We have a Motorola PTP600 link that is not getting the capacity we think it should and I am looking for some troubleshooting advice. Here are the details. Software Version: 58600-08-03 Distance: 18.5 miles RSSI: -57 dBm Vector Error: -14.9 dB Transmit Rate: 20M Receive Rate: 10M Transmit Modulation: 16QAM 0.63 (Single) (30 MHz) Receive Modulation: 16QAM (Dual) (30MHz) Link Symmetry: Adaptive Asymmetric DFS I would expect to be able to achieve a much higher modulation and therefore throughput than 20M. I've tried changing channels, using Asymmetric and Symmetric channels etc with no real luck. I am seeing the following receive modulation details on this side Limited By The Wireless Conditions and Restricted Because Of Byte Errors On The Wireless Link on the other side. These are connectorized units so could this be a cable issue or is this an interference issue? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. -- = Eric Merkel ejmerkel.li...@gmail.com WISPA Wants You!

If the radio is stuck at 16 QAM then you are probably getting the appropriate throughput for that modulation. You should be able to do higher modulation with a -57 dB RSL. Did you try swapping polarity on the antennas? Is the RSL symetrical on both sides? 18.5 miles of 5.8 GHz and you are probably seeing some junk somewhere that is messing with your stream. -B- The antenna's are dual polarity so that is not an option unless I just swap the transmit and receive cables.

Re: [WISPA] alternative to Barracuda
We use the barracuda's and are gennerrally happy with the performance . We're running 500K plus thru a pair of 400's. We have had performance issues at times but if you pay for their instant replacement they'll swap out your hardware. What I find somewhat bogus is the 400 they sold us a couple years ago is not the same as what they are selling today. We just got a 400 replaced last week and the new unit came with 16G of memory and 10K drives. The old unit had a 1G of memory and slower drives and I'm sure much slower processor. In any case, if you really are strapped for cash, I would recommend checking out MailScanner http://www.mailscanner.info/ . This software is highly configurable and works quuite well so your only cost would be hardware and your time to configure. If you are comfortable with Linux and the command line this would be a good option for you.

[WISPA] Dual WAN Router
Anyone have any recommendations on a dual wan router?

Does Mikrotik have the dead gateway feature? Basically it pings the gateway on the interface and if it fails only uses the remaining interface for new sessions?

Standard get a Mikrotik spiel goes here. One of my subscribers has essentially this very same setup, and while it was a bit tricky to get the failover to work initially, it's worked perfectly ever since. If they're a small office, one of the ~$200 boards will work just fine. The first time, it may cost a bit more because you have to factor in your time on the learning curve, but after that you can re-sell the same thing to other users and all the hard work is already done.

[WISPA] Tower Climber Pay
We have several tower climbers on staff and do almost all of our own tower work. We're trying to figure out what the correct pay scale for them is. I would say 95% of the time these guys are working out in the field doing customer surveys, installs or service calls. The other 5% of the time they working on anything from a grain leg to a 300' cell tower either putting up new equipment or repairing existing equipment. On average what would some like this make on an hourly basis? Do you pay them differently based on what they are doing, for example, one rate while doing field work and a higher rate for tower climbing? I have a good idea of what tower companies charge but I am not sure how that boils down to what the guys actually doing the tower work make. Any thoughts? -Eric WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] DHCP with a twist
You can do all this with DHCP at least with ISC's version of DHCPD. I won't go into all the gory details but you but you can use clases to put different mac's into different groups of IP ranges etc. For example we set all of our CB3's to DHCP and based on their MAC address we throw them into a private IP range. That way our techs can log into them remotely and manage them. Then the customer's router MAC goes into a separate class which gives them a public IP address and then our packet shaper limits their speed based on which plan they purchased. You can also take any MAC address that is not registered in your DHCP server and give them a BOGUS IP and DNS server which forces all traffic to a registration server(walled garden) that allows them put in their username and password. If it authenticates, then it put's their MAC into the known clients and lets them have a real public IP and away they go. Anyhow, I guess what I am saying what you want to do is all possible via DHCP. You don't have to add the additional overhead of PPPoE to make what you want to do happen. -Eric On 11/15/06, Sam Tetherow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There is a way, it is just more expensive than a CB3 ;) One idea I have had is to set up a 'walled garden' for unknown DHCP assignments. In other words if they don't match a static lease they go into a seperate address space which is restricted to an internal web site. From they they can log in with their username and password from email and it will automagically figure out what mac goes with what IP address. The code wouldn't take much in my setup, given their dynamic IP I know what AP they are on. The program then logs into the AP and pulls the DHCP assignment from the lease table. Given the username and password they logged in with I can tell what the IP is suppose to be and I can now update the static lease. This wouldn't be that hard to write since I use MT for my APs. But looking at the setup I ask myself, wouldn't it just make more sense to go PPPoE instead? Less work on my end, it is standard and there is less stuff to break. Sam Tetherow Sandhills Wireless David E. Smith wrote: Sam Tetherow wrote: Being five days late on this you have probably already solved it, but just in case Not really, no. :) I'm still in the planning phase of this next change in the network. The CB3 will request a DHCP address with it's MAC address (assuming it is set to DHCP). When the PC or router behind the CB3 requests a DHCP lease you will see the MAC for that device. The DHCP REQUEST message actually contains the MAC address it is requesting an IP for, it is not just assumed to be the MAC address that is seen making the request. The biggest issue I could think of with this setup is when the customers device changes (new router or NIC) they will have to call into the NOC and the DHCP assignment will have to be changed. That's the problem I was hoping to avoid. Honestly, I really like (from a technical standpoint) the cable modem solution to all this. DOCSIS addresses pretty much every question I've ever had, and then some. Heck, it even includes enforcing your bandwidth quotas right there in the CPE, which gives me fits of giggles every time I think about it. And it's dead simple for the customer to set up, because there basically is no set-up to be done. I'm sure there's a way to duplicate the benefits of DOCSIS on a wireless network, I just haven't figured it out yet :) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

David Smith MVN.net David, We have a similar situation happening mainly on one tower of ours. Basicially it is a StarOS V2 on WRAP boards setup using Prism cards for the AP's. We have 4 90* horizontal sectors. Everyones's signals are great and it runs fine most of the time. Occassionaly we see times where people have 10-20% packet loss. We look at the traffic on the tower for abuse and/or virus and don't really find anything. We've tried different channels and it doesn't seem to help. Other times there is no loss at all. Most of our clients on CB3's but we do have some Orinoco based clients. The Orinoco based clients don't seem to have the problem as much as the CB3's do however. I have not really pinned down what the difference between them would be that would cause the Orinoco's not to show this behaviour even though their signal may be somewhat lower. We've taken a spectrum analyzer up the tower and don't really see any other signals that are really hot out there but it feels like an interefernce problem.

They act similar to the symptoms you cited (a few minutes of extremely elevated latency due to the short term load they place over the rf). Rich We try to mitigate this problem by the following: 1) Turning off inter-BSS Relay 2) We block all the typical MS ports(135-139) which broadcast all the time via iptables 3) Packet shape all connections via CBQ on the AP itself to limit how much bandwidth any one customer can consume Looking at the beacon realtime manager and tcpdump, we've never seen an unreasonable # of broadcasts when this is happening. -Eric -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
