Re: [AFMUG] 450i/450m DFS false detect problem solved in later firmware?

I need to be a bit clearer in that I'm not really sure what version this customer is running. The question about 15.x /16.x came from a couple of oldish threads which indicated that something broke early in 15, and that it still wasn't fixed in 16. But I found that unlikely to still be the case

Forrest, As usual there are probably multiple issues going on. We have seen an increase in the number of DFS hits recently, and we also have a lot of Packetflux timing equipment on the network. I have noticed that DFS hits tend to be worse in ‘unusual’ hot weather conditions. And we have c

Many many years ago (in the FSK days) I remember a sync problem that was affecting VoIP customers, and we only tracked it down by graphing the InSyncCount and OutSyncCount SNMP parameters on the SMs. This would have been with a CTM-1 for sync, unfortunately I don’t remember what was the cause a

DFS can occur with reflections as well as self interference. Weather conditions can adverserly affect this. All things RF for radio config must be set for correct operation IE TX pwer and Antenna Gains all must be entered to reflect correct operating levels before a Reflection or interference

DFS has been a major pain since 15.x. Setting the configuration parameters correctly does not make any difference in DFS false positives. We have a site that once DFS triggers, it will continue to trigger over and over again until you power cycle it. Even then, that is only a temporary fix until an
