RE: [smartBridges] Why did the power go out on the APPO last night?

If a power connection is a little loose, a surge in power can arc and leave a carbon layer that interfers with the connection. Moving the connection brings everything back up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bobby Bounds Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 7:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Why did the power go out on the APPO last night? We have an APPO in Access Point mode on the roof of a house high on a hill here in New Mexico. Last night there was a nice electrical storm overhead. The APPO went down. Today I went up on the roof and found all lights off on the unit. Other ac powered items of ours on this roof were on. I turned off the battery backup which killed power to everything, then I turned it back on. The APPO came on! Clients could then associate and surf.   So, the question is, “What caused the APPO to turn off? If there was a power loss why did the APPO not come back on when power was restored?”   Other facts:   The APPO is directly grounded to the house ground using #8 copper wire. The APPO is two weeks old….it has run fine for the last two weeks. Using a static IP There are two radios at this location. The other radio is an APP Indoor working in Client Bridge mode as a backhaul. It stayed up. All equipment including the APPO is inside a weatherproof box on the roof.     Thanks for thinking about this.   Bobby Bounds Airwave Internet, LLC Albuquerque, NM [EMAIL PROTECTED] 505-867-2413
