Re: [WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
Hi Forbes... YOu can also look at the connectors on the cable you might want to try and put new ones on there. Also, did you try a different POE injector at the tower? Let us know what you come up with. Leon * Forbes Mercy wrote, On 1/20/2009 7:33 PM: Hi Forbes A few questions/comments: : How long is the ethernet run?

Re: [WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
Hi Forbes, good news and bad news. Let me start with the good news. You are not alone! The bad news is the same of the good news, lately, we are having a lot of problems on the ethernet. It looks like the ethernet port has a lower speed (like 200Kbps) or that you cannot even log in it. Does it sound familiar to you? On some site, it can be some EM field close to you. That's why when you try it in your lab everything works magically. You are out of that EM field, and the interference is gone. Even using shielded cable does not help, because it could attenuate the effect not fix at 100%. Moreover it depends if the shield is grounded to the metallic shell of the box, etc. Moreover, I suspect the overall quality of Mikrotik hardware is not very good and it's getting even worse. Suggestions: 1) try shielded cable 2) try some ferrule on the shielded cable 3) test electrical continuity of the circuit from the cable plug on one side to the box (other side) 4) change power supply 5) if you are using an inject/splitter, change it Let us know! Thank you. We have a tower with a single radio operating on it. We were using a Microtik 133 board with a single Prizim chipset in it. One day it stopped responding to requests through the network using Winbox. No customers were down so we assumed it was running bandwidth (too much snow to travel up there). One night about 7 PM we started getting tower down calls, of course we hadn't been able to ping or get into it for weeks so we had no idea. Took a back-up 433AH board up and used the same radio card, worked like a charm for both our access and customer throughput.

Re: [WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
Hi Josh, to be honest the 4xx are giving us problems. We have a lot of boards with strange behaviors, I have a desk full of suspected of..., probably does not do this or that. I cannot tell you if the 5xx (e.g. 532) series were worse. We still have some 532/532A installed with 2.9.x and they work great, I admit the same is not for the 333/4xx series. Maybe it's because the number of nodes in our network has grown considerably and they are new boards. Just to tell you the one that we had today: - the 333/433 board looks burned with a +24V power supply, but it was working nicely with +18VDC. Same board family and same power supply family working in other sites - the 333/433 has ethernet problems with +24 but it works nicely with +18VDC. Don't ask me why... However, it surprised me to read about this: http://forum.routerboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=3t=3868 Now, do you think that I will go up on the tower to open the box and see what is the capacitor on the board? Another thing is that I still don't understand why the power supply is not 48VDC as most of the telco world. It would have simplified many things but the most irritating is that we have to keep different power supplies accordingly to different board series. Fortunately lately this has more or less changed. I will not talk about the software issues, it's too easy to talk about the bugs. Every release has new undiscovered bugs of the previous one. Honestly I would have preferred less features and more stability, but it's their choice. Just my 2EuroCents. P.S. I did not yet send the boards back to mikrotik, I don't have time for that, maybe in the near future.

Re: [WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
The 333 board sucked. That simple. I have dozens of customers with RB411 CPEs and our power is pretty good - never had to reboot the CPE for the last 6 months (we started deploying them 6 months ago). The 133 did have that power problem and I saw it many times, however, a $50 UPS can fix that. Not to mention if someone has a PC they should have one already...

[WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
We have a tower with a single radio operating on it. We were using a Microtik 133 board with a single Prizim chipset in it. One day it stopped responding to requests through the network using Winbox. No customers were down so we assumed it was running bandwidth (too much snow to travel up there). One night about 7 PM we started getting tower down calls, of course we hadn't been able to ping or get into it for weeks so we had no idea. Took a back-up 433AH board up and used the same radio card, worked like a charm for both our access and customer throughput. We didn't want to waste a three port/LAN board so ordered a 433a single port board. Once it arrived we logged into it by MAC in the office with no problem, programmed it and sent it up to the tower. Once on the tower customers associated just fine but once again we couldn't access the management side. We saw the MAC and the identity for it but we couldn't ping that IP (yes, the 433AH radio was unplugged) and trying to load by MAC would start the RouterOS download but at various places it would crash.

Re: [WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
Hi Forbes A few questions/comments: : How long is the ethernet run? About 50 feet We had a MTK client radio on an RB113 go irratic at times. We brought the 133 back into the office and had no problem accessing it with short length Cat 5 and the wireless worked great, same for the new 433A board. So this leaves us with the 433AH and one card working at the 50 foot length radio mount but not the 133 or 433a which work perfectly in the office. You can't upload into the MTK when using Winbox with the MAC address, only IPs. How about duplex/speed are they both matched? You might want to crank it to 10M/FULL and see if that helps. We can try this. Forbes -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Leon D.

Re: [WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness
We knew what you meant because the 433 has three ports and 411 has one. I do suggest putting a 433ah up there if you plan to have some good usage. Saving 50 dollars isn't worth playing with the board upgrade game for the capacity it provides. If the 433ah does work then your line is probably good, does usage change? If so the 100m/full change would be my suggestion too. Note the 4xx boards are very similar hardware (only changes are memory, ports and some models have bigger CPUs).
