[WISPA] Suggestions to reach 80 feet.

2006-08-10 Thread Mark Koskenmaki
I'm interested in what people would suggest using to reach 60 to 80 feet above the ground. It needs to hold a sector or two (my holy bird-frying sectors, Batman!), and a 2 foot solid dish and a grid dish. The ground is rocky, and there's 35 to 55 foot trees in all directions. This is to

A tower. I think thats what I would suggest. Its probably cheaper and more stable than guying a weather balloon into place. I suppose you could buy a crane and park it there, but that would probably be more expensive than a tower, at least long term. . Do you have enough land available to put

To all, I am having a network storm, the first. All activity light switches on the wireless net are flashing like crazy, both at the data center and customer sites, may not mean much, but it has not happened before. There is a huge amount of traffic on the canopy sys. Others have discussed an

Ron, Are you seeing icmp to other IP's that are unreachable along with the icmp to 0.0.0.0 ? I have seen this in the past and looked like it was coming from a linksys router. I suspected the router was randomly replying to other's IP's, basically causing loops.To isolate I had to disable

Thanks Tim, I'm not sure yet. but how do you mean you are 90% routed? Does each of your APs go directly to a router? I only have one headend, w/ 1 canopy 900 on an omni, 3 canopy 2.45's each on a 120* sector, thats it. They are all plugged into a CMMmicro, from there to a Netgear switch, to a

Ron, Go here to get ethereal: http://www.ethereal.com/download.html Also do you host any of your own servers? If so DDOS attacks are pretty common and if your network is bridged without VLANS you could be having that trouble. At any rate ethereal will tell you whats going on Hit

Thank You all for your input, I will make a troubleshooting guide with this and some other responses I have kept. Since you all responded so generously. Its working, not "fixed". The culprit is a Canopy 2.45 Advantage AP, with no customers registered. It just doesn't seem to work all the time. So

I am waiting on this also (the noise issue from the power supply is what I am assuming you are talking about). I have had various issues with a couple of old 532's I got when they first came out (Ethernet connectivity to a Tranzeo unit on a 250' run). I have had good luck with the 100 series, but
