I am just looking to learn how to do the bursting as you are running it.  I
am quite happy with all Motorola gear, though.  How do I setup this bursting
you are running?

 

Thanks,

 

David

All my APs are Mikrotik. My CPE’s are a mix of Tranzeo and UBNT.   I have a AP 
with 58 Clients on it and starting to get complaints about slowdowns.  They are 
all setup 10 MHz channel 802.11g.  This is a tower that due to contractual 
issues I cannot add anymore equipment.  So I am considering taking down the 
Mikrotik and 120 degree sector and putting up a UBNT Rocket and Airmax 120 
sector.  It will take time to physically switch all my clients to new UBNT 
Airmax equipment but would like to get it done before the snow flies.  

 

Has anyone down this?  Success?  I know I cannot turn on Airmax till everyone 
is on the UBNT with that capability but does it work fine till you get it on?

Bursting rocks!  But do it on the CPE and CHARGE for it if you can.  Heck, 5

[WISPA] Tower mounting pics wanted!

I know you got 'em.

 

I'm looking for some nice pics of the various ways of mounting sector
antennas.  I have a tower with 5 to 10 and even 20 structural tube to mount
to, three sided classic 1980's tower.  300 footer.  I'm the king at ripping
off designs and welding up my own (sorry, my bad)  and am looking for some
good ideas for this thing.

 

I'd say pretty please but I'm not that pretty and I never please.  Well, so

Why not?  I'm working on a design now that has 15-20 access points
fed from a sector antenna on a tower.  (I couldn't put that many
separate links up if I tried, not between 5.725 and 5.85.)  They'll
need TDMA (Airmax or an Nstreme) to keep things sorted out, of
course.  There's a string of nodes that can barely see each other for
the trees, but can all see one tower over water... since water paths
tend to be flakey, I'm thinking of putting two antennas on the tower,
one above the other, hoping that the vertical spacing may have the
two sectors (overlapping coverage, different 5.8 channels) flake out
at different times.

The real question is whether or not I can make a case that the Sky
Pilot Rule applies, and thus the whole sector counts as PtP for
regulatory power limit purposes.  With TDMA it's only transmitting to
one at a time, after all...

You be right!  I have one hub with multiple backhauls on it.  My problem was
always the sectors being 15 to 19dbi gain but the grids being a good 29.  My
furthest out is 20 miles, not good for a 15dbi sector,  but most other AP's
can see the hub's sectors at at least a -74.  In fact, I've USED them in a
pinch to work around outages, though not within FCC guide lines..
(So what)  but I never thought about just using it as part of the big
vision.

 Subject: [WISPA] Taking the plunge



 All my APs are Mikrotik. My CPE’s are a mix of Tranzeo and UBNT.   I 
 have a AP with 58 Clients on it and starting to get complaints about 
 slowdowns.
 They are all setup 10 MHz channel 802.11g.  This is a tower that due 
 to contractual issues I cannot add anymore equipment.  So I am 
 considering taking down the Mikrotik and 120 degree sector and 
 putting up a UBNT Rocket and Airmax 120 sector.  It will take time to 
 physically switch all my clients to new UBNT Airmax equipment but 
 would like to get it done before the snow flies.



 Has anyone down this?  Success?  I know I cannot turn on Airmax till 
 everyone is on the UBNT with that capability but does it work fine 
 till you get it on?

I've had the same issue.  I have designs for stand-offs in my head but then
I rethink it all due to maintenance issues.  Swing arms?

 

Dunno.

Depends on how high and how long the standoff is. Sometimes bucket,
sometimes you can just reach it. A lot of times, only the antenna is on the
end of the standoff so you dont need to get to it all that often, if ever.

There are some of those towers spread around the country. Pretty amazing

met the original owner of the one in WPB and he said it was $1.2 Million! He
claimed it would take a cat5 hurricane. Pylon footings were 110' down.

 You could see it for miles around. The equipment 330' up on a standoff
 that was 10' from the tower, 330' up. I admit, it took me two separate
 tries to get the guts to walk out on it. Pics attached. We were plagued
 by lightning hits that picked on the switch in the enclosure at the top.
 I moved the enclosure off the standoff and left the radios on the mast
 on the standoff which helped a lot. Eventually, I ran fiber up and that
 fixed the issue altogether.

 positioned its fairly comfortable.  Takes a little getting used not
 having any tower under you though.

  Had to go out on this standoff once:

I think they figured out that the cost of a bad and argumentative RMA
process is greater than a smooth one.

I have enough frustration and the UBNT RMA process is good for my mood.

 I have been throughly impressed with the RMA process at Ubiquiti.  I had
 some blown up Bullets and they processed the RMA very quickly and had
 new units back to me within a few weeks.  After dealing with the
 extremely long RMA process that Tranzeo has, it's refreshing to see a
 company like Ubiquiti stand behind there product.  It's definitely one
 more reason to use their equipment.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] FW: Specifications for Internet services on public
frequency

Paul,

Every deployment requires a different approach and that approach should
include the consideration of a great many factors. I am assuming that since
you are being pointed here, you are working to build a Wireless ISP. I
assume by public frequencies you are referring to U.S. unlicensed
frequencies. If not in the U.S. can you say which country?

Rural areas have different meanings to different people. Some might consider
farmland rural whereas I consider forested areas with little or no
electricity or phone service rural. Would you mind expanding in more details
what rural means to you? Where in the world is this deployment going to be?
What is the terrain? Elevation changes across what distance? Foliage type
and density? Population/housing density? Housing type? Houses per acre or sq
mile? These are some of the questions that need to be answered to define
rural.

Minimal cost is always the goal with any start-up deployment. No electricity
implies the need for solar or generator based POPs. 
Depending upon the area this can complicate deployment and potentially add
significant cost initially and over time. I can think of five major
components to the cost of a WISP.
1. The cost of equipment.
2. The man-hours to prepare, install and maintain the equipment.
3. The cost of bandwidth from one or more upstream providers.
4. The scalability of the system.
5. The subscriber base. (what they will pay, % that take service, churn
rate, and competition)

But there are many other factors that affect each cost. For example; if the
terrain is flat with no foliage and you can build large tower in the middle
of town its significantly cheaper to deploy infrastructure to cover the
population. However if that same population of one town has hills every few
miles, with 100-200 ft trees all over, and the county will not allow the
deployment of towers then there is a much larger and more spread out
infrastructure to cover the same number of people. This requires more
man-hours, more sites, more equipment between sites and on sites,
consideration of frequency re-use for scalability, more time to offer
service to the whole subscriber base, etc and etc.

Your statement of using mainly open source software stands out. There are
not many open source options compared to proprietary options for WISP
equipment. Equipment/software choice should be determined by looking at all
options then determining what fits this environment best. 
Coverage area size and Scale are probably the biggest factors. Also very few
WISPs rely on a single equipment vendor/type for providing service. 
You will also need to consider what level of service will be provided. 
For example are you offering 256kbps, 1.5mbps or 6mbps?

Every plan is different and every area requires a different plan based upon
what the operator of the WISP is trying to accomplish. What are you trying
to accomplish and in what area are you working? Look up zip codes
95959 and 95945 to see the area I work with.

These are just some of the thoughts off the top of my head. If I can offer
anything further I would be more than happy to do so.

Cheers,

Matt Jenkins

So…  Does the FBO know this or will it be a surprise in the morning with

HA!

 

 

 

Depends on the landing strip.  Rome Air Force Base, yes.

 

Small county strip, heck no!

 

Here in Ohio, most landing strips were just a mile of asphalt to start.  Then 
extended.  No real base there.

 

As a side note, the county where I am were GIVEN a 300 foot ATT long lines 
tower.  They immediately  demolished it as an air hazard because it was close 
to the county strip.  (We actually used the thing as a marker when turning onto 
the base leg on approach)  Now, of course, they are kicking themselves for the 
cash they are spending on new towers for the safety services.  DUMMIES!

Re: [WISPA] tower tool bag

2010-09-20 Thread Robert West
I use a canvas bag!  

 

One that the belt on the safety harness can go through to hold it onto my
back.  I also have a zippered canvas bag that I strap on as well.  (Keep the
drinks in  that one!)

 

But  I love the big orange 5 gallon buckets for serious hauling things
up.  I just make sure the drill or whatever is the heaviest is in the bottom
of the bucket because, as you say, it will tip over on the way up.  

 

I've never lost anything on the way up.  My problem was dropping stuff
before I learned to put a rope on every wrench or whatever!

 

I've seen some soft sided bags that are of a thicker canvas and have a rigid
plastic bottom.  They look pretty sturdy.  I'd hate to have something not
soft sided strapped to me while negotiating the transition the ladder makes
2/3rds up a 300 foot self-supporter.  I bang my head enough on that, don't
need to be snagged with a plastic bucket.

 Just a heads up.
 Those of you who are running Debian, CentOS, RedHat and other systems 
 similar.
 There is a pretty big security flaw on the 64 bit side of these 
 systems now labeled as

 CVE-2010-3081

 In short
 The flaw identified by CVE-2010-3081 (Red Hat Bugzilla bug 634457) 
 describes an issue in the 32/64-bit compatibility layer 
 implementation in the Linux kernel, versions 2.6.26-rc1 to 
 2.6.36-rc4. The compat_alloc_user_space() function is missing a 
 sanity check on the length argument, and also a check to make sure 
 the pointer to the block of memory in user-space that the process is 
 attempting to write to is valid. This flaw was addressed via the upstream
git commit c41d68a5 for the 2.6 Linux kernel.
 This function could be abused in other areas of the Linux kernel if 
 the length argument can be controlled from user-space. A known 
 example of this is the compat_mc_getsockopt() function for 
 MCAST_MSFILTER that was introduced in upstream git commit 42908c69
(v2.6.26-rc1).
 You can easily fix this by implementing the patch located here:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=
c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6.
 As always - if you are stuck -please do not hesitate to contact me 
 offlist - while the patch is from 9/19/10 - many wispa's have not 
 patched their systems simply because they don't know they needed to.
 As always - when in doubt check the security lists out :-)

Just check on our website, it should tell you an estimate of when it will

Depends on the landing strip.  Rome Air Force Base, yes.

 

Small county strip, heck no!

 

Here in Ohio, most landing strips were just a mile of asphalt to start.
Then extended.  No real base there.

 

As a side note, the county where I am were GIVEN a 300 foot ATT long lines
tower.  They immediately  demolished it as an air hazard because it was
close to the county strip.  (We actually used the thing as a marker when
turning onto the base leg on approach)  Now, of course, they are kicking

The concrete in question is actually a landing strip so is plenty
strong/thick enough. As we would normally cement in the rods that the tower
is mounted onto, I need to know how it would be done when the concrete is
already there. Anyone doing this or is it just not the way to go?

We have a 12m VersaTower that we are looking to install but
where it needs installing there is already a very solid concrete

foundations and was wondering if anyone knows of an acceptable techniche for
mounting directly onto existing foundations or if this is just not a very
good idea at all.

We are located in Haiti. My team is working on technical and technological
specifications of a document for the deployment of Internet service on
public frequencies in rural areas. We welcome your thoughts on the topic in
terms of previous experiences and, well sure, you recommendation in terms of
equipment. You should note that the environment in question is very
mountainous with very precarious infrastructure conditions: no electricity,
poor access, etc. We would like to deploy a service at minimal cost, using
mainly open source software. 

 

All comments, suggestions, recommendations, draft, success stories are well

 I have been throughly impressed with the RMA process at Ubiquiti.  I had
 some blown up Bullets and they processed the RMA very quickly and had
 new units back to me within a few weeks.  After dealing with the
 extremely long RMA process that Tranzeo has, it's refreshing to see a
 company like Ubiquiti stand behind there product.  It's definitely one
 more reason to use their equipment.

We will deal with hard environment, but not really foliage. One of the
advantage with our country, it's you can easily have a coverage from one
point. The link will coverage long distance. Maybe with multiple hop from
one point to an other. Just to have an idea just take a look on Google
Earth. Search From Port-au-Prince to  Hinche; from Hinche to Cap-Haitien and
From Cap-Haitien to Fort-Liberté and Ouanaminthe. you'll have an idea.

 As long as you get a valid IP on your PPTP client, from the PPTP Server, 
 and the default route to the PPTP server, then you should be able to get 
 to any of the IP's (public or private) being routed on that MK box.

Of course.  There are ways to make it work and there are other ways to
make it work.  For some reason, some people like to use the same subnet
even though their interface (the pptp server interface) is not on the
same segment.  To make that work, you need proxy-arp (since arp won't
work considering you are not on that segment).  I don't have time to
write a full tutorial for why it is that way.  I am sure I have done so
in the past...search the archives for proxy-arp and you'll likely find
one.  It is possible that I even posted a blog entry detailing this as
well.

Totally agree.

When your Internet has to go 22,300 miles, at best, straight up for its
first hop even the speed of light begins to feel slow.

Speed of light = 186k miles per second.  Light can travel that 22,300 miles
8.5 times in one second.  That's back and forth 4 times in the time you
blink.

The median advertised download speed is 7Mbps. The reality is just over
4Mbps.

Because Farmville needs that last 3Mbps.  You can watch Netflix at full
definition at those speeds.  A hotel asked what their bandwidth was and we
figured it to be just about 4Mbps - a hotel with dozens or hundreds of
people.

Did you ever talk on an overseas phone call that was via satellite? Did you
ever talk on a maritime satellite phone link? It takes practice to
communicate smoothly because of the long delay. It's why for voice traffic
carriers prefer undersea fiber.

 

What are modem banks?

I use satellite internet here and the latency is a little under 800ms at

earth station, back up from the earth station, and back down to my terminal.

I blink at least once waiting for my ping to come back.

[WISPA] UBNT Nano5M Secondary RJ45 Port PoE Burnout!

2010-09-24 Thread Robert West
Today I finally figured out an Issue I've been having with a NanoStation5M.
I have a customer who wanted service,  was in  trees but had a hot signal
out at the road.  Dug a 4 foot hole, put in 2 10 foot sections of rigid
conduit and 5 bags of concrete.  Ran an underground line of Cat5e, double
shielded and flooded cable with ground wire to his house.  That was 5 months
or so ago.  At the beginning of August, he called me and said his neighbor
wanted service.  Same trees so I took the AirGrid down, put up a Nano5M and
plugged a Nano loco2 into the secondary port and shot it at a second Nano
Loco2 at his place.  Replaced my weird Airgrid 

 

Worked perfectly, everyone happy.  2 weeks ago I get a call, neighbor not
working.  I go out, no power light on the Nano at the pole.  I figure, bad
crimp...  Take it down, make up a new wire to connect the two, fires up.
All good.  2 days later, same issue.  I reset it all to defaults,
reconfigure, all okay.  2 days later, same thing.  I downgrade firmware to
5.2.  Couple of days later, no signal again.  I'll also add I was getting
some weird  lag at the AP that this setup was feeding off of.  So I was
fighting two battles.  Then today, I find that the PoE Pass Through check
box is empty.  DUH!  I check it, apply, comes back empty.  I do it again,
same issue.  I go out and I can connect my laptop through the secondary port
but it will not give any voltage.

 

I checked my lag time issue at the AP.  GONE!

 

I then checked in the UBNT forums.  It's an issue.  After 20 days PoE on
the secondary Nano port starts to die.  Replaced it with another Nano5M,
working fine but looks like I'll be coming up with another MacGyver solution
to service this dude

 

Just so ya knows.

I have a NS5M (back haul) which is passing through power and data to a
BulletM2 as AP and I recently had some strangeness - I changed settings in
the NS5M and power to the BulletM2 would start cycling. The BulletM2 is my
access to the NS5M so I couldn't get in that way. I also couldn't browse in
via ethernet. This happened more than once. One time I think cycling the
power fixed it. The last time it happened I couldn't browse into the NS5M so
I had to do a hard reset and reprogram it.

Re: [WISPA] UBNT Nano5M Secondary RJ45 Port PoE Burnout!

2010-09-25 Thread Robert West
Nope.  No dice.  Played with it after I took it down.  Did a hard reset 
then.  PoE is always on no matter what the checkbox says.  Before 
reset, PoE did not work no matter which port power was put into.

Downgraded, upgraded, just can't turn that sucker off.  Maybe I need to show it

So you're saying if the secondary port is the one receiving power it will pass 
power to the primary port no matter what the state of the pass through check

Subject: Re: [WISPA] UBNT Nano5M Secondary RJ45 Port PoE Burnout!

I had some trouble with an NS5M running 5.2.1 RC2.

Short version:

I had some weirdness tonight. I was looking at network traffic with
Wireshark and noticed CDP - Cisco Discovery Protocol (UBNT calls it extra
reporting) traffic coming from one of the NS5M's on my back haul. I had
turned that off. I browsed into the unit in question and sure enough enable
extra reporting was checked again! I unchecked the enable extra reporting
box and apply the settings many times and it kept coming back checked. It
was a long process to get the settings how I wanted but I finally got
everything the way I wanted it, though no matter what I do the POE
passthrough box remains unchecked even though I checked it and applied the
settings many times. It is passing POE so I'm just disregarding the checkbox
and hoping it's just a glitch in the UI.

Long version:

I took notes through this process for my own reference and to make sure I
could tell the story accurately to UBNT.

(Through the process below I tired various browsers to make sure the problem
wasn't due to some fluke in one of the browsers)

Using Wireshark I noticed extended reporting coming from an NS5M which is
running Station WDS (one end of a back haul), firmware is 5.2.1 RC2.
In NS5M web interface I turned off extended reporting.
Hit change then test but after unit rebooted it wasn't showing itself to
be in the test mode (and the associated count down to restore settings was
not showing) and extended reporting checkbox was back on.
Unchecked extended reporting (again) and clicked apply this time instead of
test.
Unit went off line and the BulletM2 (my point of access) on the NS5M's
secondary port never came back up. (I was accessing the NS5M through the
BulletM2 at this point) Had to power cycle NS5M to revive the NS5M/BulletM2
combo.
Came back up with extra reporting checkbox checked.

Downgraded to 5.2.
The combo came back up for a minute, then dropped off line again, then came
back up and stayed up. Extra reporting checkbox still checked.
Decided to try changing another setting. I picked the lock to AP MAC and
put in the MAC address of the other end of the back haul. Hit test, the unit
rebooted and came back with the log to AP MAC field blank.

Downgraded to 5.0.1, then upgraded back up to 5.2.1

Connected via ethernet and reset to defaults.
Start programming the unit. Manually set ack timing. Setting stuck.
Turned on pass through, after reboot checkbox was unchecked. Tried it again,
again the box is unchecked after the unit reboots.

Restored to defaults again.
Tried disabling extra reporting and turning off ack timeout auto adjust and
turning on POE passthrough all at the same time. None of the settings stuck
(according to the web interface but the Bullet M2 on the secondary port was
up.
Set the necessary changes on the wireless and network tabs. All settings
stuck without a hitch.
Returned to Advanced and set POE ack timeout auto adjust off and disabled
extra reporting off (without changing POE passthrough - it was unchecked but
passing through) and those settings stuck. The unit's behavior is as I want
it.  I was even able to lock the unit to the AP's MAC address. The only
discrepancy is the POE passthrough is unchecked even though it's passing
through (as I want it to).

I'm thinking about TFTP'ing in the 5.2.1 RC2 firmware since it sounds like
TFTP'ing the firmware in rewrites/partitions more of the unit's memory than
upgrading the firmware via the web interface.

I'll post this to the UBNT forum tomorrow.

 problem wasn't due to some fluke in one of the browsers)
 
 Using Wireshark I noticed extended reporting coming from an NS5M which is 
 running Station WDS (one end of a back haul), firmware is 5.2.1 RC2.
 In NS5M web interface I turned off extended reporting.
 Hit change then test but after unit rebooted it wasn't showing itself to 
 be in the test mode (and the associated count down to restore settings was 
 not showing) and extended reporting checkbox was back on.
 Unchecked extended reporting (again) and clicked apply this time instead of 
 test.
 Unit went off line and the BulletM2 (my point of access) on the NS5M's 
 secondary port never came back up. (I was accessing the NS5M through the 
 BulletM2 at this point) Had to power cycle NS5M to revive the NS5M/BulletM2 
 combo.
 Came back up with extra reporting checkbox checked.
 
 Downgraded to 5.2.
 The combo came back up for a minute, then dropped off line again, then came 
 back up and stayed up. Extra reporting checkbox still checked.
 Decided to try changing another setting. I picked the lock to AP MAC and 
 put in the MAC address of the other end of the back haul. Hit test, the unit 
 rebooted and came back with the log to AP MAC field blank.
 
 Downgraded to 5.0.1, then upgraded back up to 5.2.1
 
 Connected via ethernet and reset to defaults.
 Start programming the unit. Manually set ack timing. Setting stuck.
 Turned on pass through, after reboot checkbox was unchecked. Tried it again, 
 again the box is unchecked after the unit reboots.
 
 Restored to defaults again.
 Tried disabling extra reporting and turning off ack timeout auto adjust and 
 turning on POE passthrough all at the same time. None of the settings stuck 
 (according to the web interface but the Bullet M2 on the secondary port was 
 up.
 Set the necessary changes on the wireless and network tabs. All settings 
 stuck without a hitch.
 Returned to Advanced and set POE ack timeout auto adjust off and disabled 
 extra reporting off (without changing POE passthrough - it was unchecked but 
 passing through) and those settings stuck. The unit's behavior is as I want 
 it.  I was even able to lock the unit to the AP's MAC address. The only 
 discrepancy is the POE passthrough is unchecked even though it's passing 
 through (as I want it to).
 
 I'm thinking about TFTP'ing in the 5.2.1 RC2 firmware since it sounds like 
 TFTP'ing the firmware in rewrites/partitions more of the unit's memory than 
 upgrading the firmware via the web interface.
 
 I'll post this to the UBNT forum tomorrow.

I just upgraded my units to 5.2.1. In the GUI the passthrough checkbox is
unchecked even though it's passing through. I checked the box, applied, and
it's still unchecked but passing through.

On the forum someone told me to reset the unit, reflash the firmware, and

 Same browser as when  I configured it and I can still turn the secondary
ether PoE on and off on other Nano5Ms.  
 
 Am running 5.2.1, yeah, even downgraded.  Posts on UBNT forums are
building on this issue.  After 20 days or so it will burn out.
 
 
 Here is what I came up with after I took it down.  This is part of my post
to the forums
 
 
 . I had an AirGrid set on a 15 foot mast out at the road
for a customer because of trees. Ran an underground line of double shielded,
flooded Cat5, direct bury, with ground wire. Everything grounded and working
fine. His neighbor wanted service so I swapped the grid out with a Nano5M,
plugged a Nano Loco into the secondary ether pointing to another nano in the
neighbors window. Ran just fine for almost a month THEN crazy issues.
Neighbor lost connection but the customer hard wired into the Nano5m was
just fine. Thought it might be a bad crimp on the jumper, replaced it, it
fired up. Was a mess ever since. Power on, off, on, off. 
 
 Then I saw the PoE Pass-through checkbox empty. Checked it, applied, box
again empty. Couldn't get it to stick. Did a truck roll, power to NanoL
gone. 
 
 Took the Nano5M down and brought to the shop. Bench tested. No secondary
power, no check in the box. Diud a hard reset. Still nothing. Downgraded
firmware, another hard reset. Secondary Port now ON! BUT. Checkbox
still empty. 
 
 Checked the box, applied. Check still in the box. Remove check, apply,
check gone, BUT power still on at the secondary port! I can not turn off the
power to the secondary power! Upgraded firmware Hard reset. Still on no
matter is box is checked or not. 
 
 Now for the REST of the story and my guess on this..
 
 The cable run to the pole is 100 feet. I used the 15V UBNT power injector
that came with the Nano5M. After the install I checked the operation and all
was as smooth as silk. Quick booting, fast throughput on both units.
 
 When I took the unit down and got it operating I was also using a 15v UBNT
power injector however my cable length on the bench was only 8 feet. I
watched the lights on the nano and also watched how long UBNT Discovery
utility took to pick it up. Long. It looked like it was struggling to
connect to the wired lan. After it came up I plugged a bullet into the
secondary port and power cycled it all. Long struggle to connect to the
wired lan. Sometimes Discovery would see it, sometimes not. 
 
 So.. Pulled out an OLD 3Com 24V 3A power injector and plugged the
setup into it. Fired up FAST! Fired up every time and would not fail. Still
unable to turn off the power to the secondary port so I reinstalled the unit
at the customer site but with the 24V 3A power injector. It's been running
almost 24 hours now and I'm able to talk to everything connected to it
remotely and all pings are perfect.
 
 My guess.. It was under powered. It may have not had enough power to
keep the secondary port powered, damaged the switching circuit and is now
stuck giving power to the secondary port with no way of turning it off.
Possible constant fluttering of the circuit on and off burned it out.
 
 With it being stuck on, it's good for now. I wouldn't mind not having an
option to turn off the Poe, it can always be on as far as I'm concerned. Or
if nothing else, have it default to on in case of a failure of the switching
circuit..

off in wind, birds taking them, etc (we pulled FOUR out of a birds

[WISPA] AirGrids

2010-01-29 Thread Robert West
Installing some UBNT AirGrids this weekend.   First thing I see is that when
I assemble for horizontal polarity the LED strip is now facing UP, as in
looking at the sky.  Not able to see the power light from the ground or any
RSSI.  Second issue, we all know the water issue with the new bullets,
getting in through the LED strip.  In horizontal, the strip is facing up.
Makes more sense to face it all down.  I also see a need to wrap with tape
where the feed and the feed support meet.  

 

Just first impressions.

Re: [WISPA] AirGrids

2010-01-30 Thread Robert West
Well, first off I talked to Ben over at UBNT last night and he said they are
changing the design with the next batch so that the LEDs are down facing.

The issue is, there are two locking tabs that snap in for either horizontal
or vertical polarization so you are limited to how it's oriented.  The
antenna feed is one part and it snaps into the feed retainer that is
attached to the grid.  The retainer protrudes through the rear of the grid
and ends with the port for the Cat5 to enter and a couple of small drain
holes.  These are not on the very end but on a flat spot on the bottom of
the retainer.  Flip the antenna so that the LEDs are facing down then the
drain holes and Cat5 entry hole is now facing UP.  The old, Damned if you
do and damned if you don't

But they are fixing the issue.  One of those things they can't see unless
they are in the field.  I'm sure the lights being up made sense sitting in
an office looking at the thing from above.  If I'm looking at an antenna
from above, I'm either high up on a tower or I'm trying to install it in a
hole.  :)

I played with the 65 foot cable limit last night too.  Used a 100' cable and
the USB PoE will power it but just enough for the lights to come on, no
communication with it.  Tried a 9v, 12v and a 15v PoE.  9 and 12 worked fine
but the 15V made it yell at me.  I settled on a 9V injector and my test unit
has been working fine since last night.  Ben said the PoE they will be
offering as an option starts out at 5V.  I asked for a possible chart from
them on suggested voltage VS. cable length so we don't fry them out of trial
and error.  He mentioned they are working on design to allow it to use the
24v PoE...   I'm actually thinking of swapping out a pac grid and MT box
back haul from a solar site to see how the power drain is from these since
they require such a low voltage.

In all, I installed 2 last night and they were great!  The mounting hardware
is beefy and says quality.  The unit doesn't feel clunky at all, unlike
most of the Pac Wireless grids and the install went fast with the radio and
grid being just one unit.  The first install took a whole 20 minutes
including running the cable and drilling a hole.  Of course it was a cable
run of only 50 feet, not a big job, but was still quick.  

I'm sold on them.

Still gotta use the Mikrotik though, the Dude server rocks.

Having not seeing one in person, can't you just flip it 180* so the lights
face down ? I take it the answer is no, but I was just wondering why.

Installing some UBNT AirGrids this weekend.   First thing I see is that
when
I assemble for horizontal polarity the LED strip is now facing UP, as in
looking at the sky.  Not able to see the power light from the ground or any
RSSI.  Second issue, we all know the water issue with the new bullets,
getting in through the LED strip.  In horizontal, the strip is facing up.
Makes more sense to face it all down.  I also see a need to wrap with tape
where the feed and the feed support meet.  

 

Just first impressions.

Same here.  High price doesn't denote high quality.  Besides, high price tag
items can blow up the same as lower priced ones.  

MT and UBNT work just fine.

Just not enough Ham operators on this list.  The Hams would be pushing for
the cheapest way of doing links instead of all the licensed and high dollar
crapola.  

Some Hams could figure out how to run 300mb over a 20 mile link using parts
from 8 track tape players and a jar of pickle juice, stuffed into an old
Tupperware container and have it run 24 hours a day for 6 years.

No reason why a MT 433 board can't run reliably for years.  It mostly has to
do with the installation.  Some high price gear will forgive stupid
installation but done right, the cheaper equipment will perform just as well
and probably better.

 Out of every backhaul in the network the most reliable has been the

 This includes Ceragon/Radwin links and Redline.

I'm with ya, Rick.  I have 2 installed the same way.  Not in the rules
really, since my backhauls are pumping the power, too much for a PTMP as
that ends up turning it into but as a temporary solution, it's cool on this
side of things.  :)  One was for lack of a sector and the other was because,
due to trees, it was the best signal I could get until I get another AP
finished.  (signal is a -84, makes me nervous!)

I dont know if this is a question as much as a statement of interest. I've
had a few customer that wanted faster speeds and couldnt wait until my 5GHz
sectors were up. So, I used a NS5 and connected right off my backhaul grids
and they worked great. I dont plan to leave them on the backhauls but it
works for now. The interesting part is my installer set up a 3rd customer
today but he didnt realize my backhauls are H-Pol. He actually got higher
signal and faster speed tests then the other two! Now I'm confused!
(Backhauls are WRAP/StarOS with 21DB grids.)

Re: [WISPA] power

2010-02-01 Thread Robert West
I have a few like that.  Cheap and quick for low density population.  Use a
pac grid for the backhaul and a bullet with an omni for the AP.  Check your
polarity, make sure you're on the right orientation and right radio.  My
grids are horz. Pol and the omnis, well.  Vertical of course!

OK, I need a little input. I've got several poor mans repeaters around by
using a pair of bullets, one for backhaul and the other for the AP. Today, I
installed a Bullet on a new customer that was a stones throw away from the
AP. At full power, he got just under 1Mbps. Turning down the power, he got
3Mbps+. Is turning down the power on the CPE side on a test and trial basis
or is there some kind of method to it?

Yes.  Get the eyes off the throughput and pay attention to your signal level
first.  Right on the money, there, Nick.

I'd turn it down till you hit about a -60 signal wise or in the 50's 
somewhere. should give you the best results.

On my Nano5's I've had the default show up as Horizontal, of all things.  On
the 5M's I've had it different depending on firmware.  Go figure.

So if I follow, You hooked people to your backhaul radio, And the CPE was a 
NS5?
If I'm not mistaken, The default antenna setting on the NS5's is Adaptive, 
so it will pick. Let me know if I'm way off on the scenario...
