Bobby are you using the old radios with
the 50' cable or the new with the coupler, I haven't used the
coupler ones yet but I have heard there much more reliable like the total's
I had lots of problems with the 50' of cable but the Ethernet wasn't
dead it was the cable faulty I recently decided to try a lil task so I opened
up 2 ABO's uncreweed the screw that holds the cable to get some slack
(left the one closest to the PCB) and then crimped inside I added a coupler
inside and then won the install slid a cable into the box's lil grommet and
crimped it hence no connector outside and I can use my own cable for the run it
has worked so far so good on my old ABOs. Chris From: Bobby Bounds
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] FYI - We had another ABO die today....ethernet port...has
been in service 7 weeks. Clear skies last night...not weather related. So,
the truck roll will cost us several hours plus we have to delay new installs
(and much needed revenue). It sucks to be a SmartBridges customer. This makes 6
early failure ABO's in the last month and a half (not counting 5 APPO's). If I recall, SB has admitted to faulty power supplies being
one of the culprits. Why was there not a recall on these? We're swinging in the
wind here with these SB's outdoor products. Also, I heard a rumor that SB has
admitted to undersized capacitors on the ethernet side of the radios
contributing to the dead ethernet port problem (can anyone confirm?). So, if
these things are true I'd say a recall of all affected products is in order.
Isn't that the responsible thing to do? So, they take a few million dollar hit
and wipe out their first and second quarter profits. They'll get it back thru
customer loyalty in the coming year. We're finished with outdoor products from SB until I
hear new batches of radios are holding up. SB, are
you listening? We're all out of spares. Our customers are calling the
cable company as I write this. Bobby Bounds Airwave Internet, LLC |
