[WISPA] Anyone having this problem with UBNT Bullet M2?

2010-03-10 Thread Greg Ihnen
Just posted this to the UBNT forum: I have had the following problem repeatedly. It's clearly repeatable. Problem: After adjusting output power and clicking apply the unit is no longer transmitting (clients can't see it and AirRadar doesn't detect it). What gets it going again is connecting

Greg, I've actually had that happen to me but not on a M2 but actually a Rocket5. The firmware is similar so I suspect it's what I saw. I actually had to do a hard reset to defaults in order to get it to behave. I was already at the current firmware but had to hard reset to make it smooth. I

Didn't you have to put an equipment vendor/model to obtain the license? I don't know if you will have to re-apply if you change vendors. I would look at Motorola, but that is a biased opinion. Eric -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org]

You might want to go with 3/4 ton chassis in the future to improve the ground clearance. You could also get Skid plates to protect the pan and transmission from hazards. Marco On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 10:39 PM, Forbes Mercy forbes.me...@wabroadband.com wrote: Printed it, now use it... Thanks

To add about the wiring. Since I'm a cheap SOB, I've found, at least in my area, that if I go to just buy the heavy duty cable it's mucho $$$ yet I can buy a cheap set of jumper cables for 10 bucks, lop off the clips on the ends and have a 15 or 20 foot long cable that is perfect for use.

Most of these things you're talking about use switching power supplies. Generally it doesn't matter if the input waveform is a pure sinusoid or modified sine- the first stage of a SMPS is a rectifier and filter capacitor that converts the input to DC anyway. I've never had any trouble running

I've had good experiences with the IOTA chargers/power supplies. They're clean enough to be used directly as power supplies, but they have current limiting and thermal protection so you can hook one to a dead battery safely. You can manually adjust the voltage, and they're tough as nails. Greg

The power supplies should handle it fine. But one thing to consider with the modified sine wave is the noise/harmonics which can bleed through power supplies that were designed for grid power. You won't know if it works till you try it. Greg On Mar 10, 2010, at 6:27 PM, Israel Lopez-LISTS
