Board
We
are operating off two towers
We
were using Oronoco AP1000 w/3-120 degee sectors on each
tower
We
had a terrible lightning storm moved through Monday
afternoon
Our
AP’s on the 300’ tower took a hit
We
were protecting the radios with
PolyPhasers
The
lightning took the polyphasers out
The
radios are ok
This
is good, but we still had to go up 300’ on the
tower
The
Trango 5.8 backhaul is located 10’ above the 2.4 antennas, they are
ok
When
we went up there we replaced the Orinoco radios with smartBridges
APPO’s
We
did install shielded cable however
My
question is this, is there protection you can put on the AP’s, that if
they take a close lightning hit
That
will protect the radio but will reset after the lightning
hit
I
haven’t seen any recommendations on any lightning protection from
smartBridges, but I could have overlooked
it
Thanks

We
value your suggestion and feedback, it really makes us to improve our
product better in functionality and performance. Recently released
software and firmware were fixes the many of the issues were reported by
our value added customers.
We
are looking for your continuous support and suggestion which will help us

Chris,
I
will check with our development team about how could be achieved with
these features on the CPE devices. I added your comments into the
suggestion box.

Seeni could it be
implemented and tested to see how the effect on performance is done (as an
optional component I mean if like myself we have solid links and want
PPPoE and don't mind a hit of 10% I would turn it on) as for VLAN's I
actually mean mac based vlans so that the client can be tagged at the ap
for a certain ap (business, home, etc) so that they can get automatically
divided up at the noc.
I
love when you respond so quick,
Seeni do you have
msn? J

Our current
airpoint series does support the VLAN tagging by allowing "Non-IP traffic"
option in the advanced TAB. To support with multiple SSID, our next
release version will come this features. Our Speedtrap is under
development process.
It is a good
feature to authenticate thru airbridge but it is a simple layer 2 device
which may reduce the performance.

Sounds great! Seeni I
have 2 questions A. For the AP's is there any possibility of VLAN's being
implemented either on the current AP's or in the simpletraps this is
something really has over the rest and I think would be a great added
feature.
B. On the Airbridges to
implement PPPoE, NO I did NOT say support I said PPPoE, as in the ability
to enter the clients username and password in simplemonitor and it will
authenticate the user. THIS WOULD BE A KICK A** Feature and would
definitely be worth it. Whats the practicality and probability of this?
This would in my vision
make both products worth their weight in gold and both would really meet
that "carrier grade" product specifications like it says on the website.
Also whats the schedule
on the firmware to bring the Airpoint up to grade with the pro's and also
are we going to get an acknowledgement of the freezing problem from the
atmel chip and a fix for it in the new version PLEASE.

At the moment, we do
not have Qos features on the sB devices. In future
release, we
will include this option together with multiple SSID
support.
In order to
associate ABO with Cisco350 AP, please try to set the
preamble to
"long" and this setting automatically transmitted to
ABO
once associated. By default, Cisco
preamble setting is "short".
If you are having trouble in the
association with ABO, then change to
"short".

I am using a Cisco
AP350 as my AP and using the SBTotal (and some
outdoors) for
CPE. I am trying to fine tune the cisco to interoperate
better with the SB's. One
thing that Cisco has is the QoS capabilities
from IEEE 802.11e.
:
QoS Basis Service Set
(QBSS)-Based on IEEE 802.11e DRAFT version 3.3
The issue is, if I have
the AP350 broadcast this info, will the SB's use
it? or should I
just turn that off to conserve on overhead?
Thanks
