Re: [WISPA] Motel WiFi Authentication

Of course its all you can eat for anyone across the street from the motel, or those who loiter in the parking lots. I havent really stayed in enough motels to see how they do them but what's a way that users can get a temp username & password when they check in? I havent dinked with it much on the UniFi. I can see how to do it, kind of, with hotspot on a Mikrotik, but I am not sure I would want a desk clerk dinking with the router. I am assuming that UniFi would be easier to use for this. Problem I have is with the few motels using UniFi they hardly ever keep the software running, and only turn it on when they need remote help from me. We have something similar set up with our ISP billing system for a few campgrounds where they create their own credential then pay a few, but I had to contract a lot of that out due to my inexperience. Maybe I need to look into the Amazon solution. Would be cool to run UniFi on a Mikrotik router. I also assume with them being authenticated we can track bandwidth hogs better. We have quite a few motels that have mostly permanent guests full time, people that never leave the room constantly downloading movies. On the unifi we could always see who they were by MAC only, but forcing someone to log in may help with the abuse. thanks heith ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Hello, You can try Handlink's Instant Hotspot Printers (http://www.handlink.com.tw/products_WG-500P-M.php) together with Mikrotik's hotspot routers.

Hey all: I'm getting some odd results here with a PtP 5.8GHz link using MikroTik that I setup to test with. Let me describe the setup... The link is 7.9 miles with clear LoS and clear Frenel zone. Each end has a 27db grid with a 3ft LMR-400 jumper to the MikroTik radio. Using the link calculator at http://www.zytrax.com/tech/wireless/calc.htm I get a predicted rx of -60.8db at each end with CM9 radio cards (17db output). Using the SR5 cards, (400mW), I get a predicted rx of -51.8 On to the real world results (all reading taken from the MikroTik's winbox. I am using version 2.9.11 on RouterBoard 230's) With the CM9 cards, I get a measured rx of -62db, well within the margin of error. An interesting note here is that I must set the CM9's output power in the MikroTik at 30db to get these results.. I know that the MikroTik must be doing something odd with this setting, as the CM9 can not put out 30db. Reducing the setting drops the rx strenth by a like amount. This link is stable and will pass 30Mb/sec in UDP and 22Mb/sec in TCP mode With the SR5 cards, I get a measured rx of -66db, well outside the margin of error and 15db below the expected rx strength! An interesting note here is that I must set the SR5's output power in the MikroTik at 30db to get these results. I know that the MikroTik must be doing something odd with this setting, as the SR5 should not put out 30db. Reducing the setting drops the rx strength by a like amount. This link is stable and will pass 24Mb/sec in UDP and 16Mb/sec in TCP mode. Nothing else is changed when I swap the SR5's for the CM9's or back again. I use the same antennas, cables, boards and pigtails. The antennas and cables are not moved between tests. (except for moving the pigtail from one card to the other). Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Or do I just have some bad SR5 cards? Or is the tx power setting in the MikroTik flakey? Or is the tx power setting relative db not absolute db?

I power all my WiPOPs with an APC UPS (Smart-UPS 700) and grid power. They keep the sites up for 2-3 hours depending on equipment load at the site. I put in a SNMP card (AP9617 - can e-mail upon many different UPS events without having a SNMP server). I get notified that the site is on battery power...buys me time to get to the site with a generator. My goal is to have a generator that I can plug the UPS into. Here's the scenario I want: 1: Power out. I get notified that UPS is running on batteries. Get geared up. 2: Hook up generator to UPS. (here's the important part) BATTERIES CHARGE ON UPS. 3: UPS Battery gets fully charged. I get notified 'fully charged'. 4: Fuel in generator runs out. I get notified that UPS is running on batteries. 5: Get fuel to site within 1-2 hours & restart generator. GOTO 3:. Site never goes down and I don't have to make unnecessary trips because I think the generator might be low on fuel. Last year we had power down at a site down for 2.5 weeks. Problem was that the site was a last priority because the problem was past any homes with humans in them. Shuttling gas to a generator twice a day for 3 hours of driving for 2.5 weeks got very very very old very very very quickly. I've got a generator now (Coleman 1850W). Even with the power sensitivity level set to low on the UPS's, it they won't run on the generator. So I think I need cleaner power. Recommendations? (power just came back up to my site...got notified by the UPS...gotta go and take the equipment off the generator and plug it into the UPS...customers down for 60 seconds while the Trango backhaul boots).
