RE: [smartBridges] Airpoint Problem

[Shawn Mitchell]

hehehe... You don't want to know how many AP's/AB's that I have right now that rattle.  Fresh from the factory, you can shake it and it sounds like a SMT chip such as a cap or resistor is moving around inside...     On the airBridges, has anyone had problems with the ant screw interface comming off?  They are just pressed on, but it's like they are not pressed on enough, or don't have enough thread exposed and when you tighten down the pigtail's it pulls it out.    I've just been taking a screw plug, threading it a couple of times, and taking a hammer and tapping it back in... seems to hold it pretty good after that..   If anyone wants pics, let me know! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of John Banes Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 17:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Airpoint Problem This is a FYI for Smartbridges and not a real complaint.   We recently removed an AirPoint AP from service while isolating another problem and when we got it back to the office noticed that it had something rattling around inside. Not wanting to send it back, we took it apart and found that the metal RF shield covering some of the components had fallen off. It looks like it was supposed to have been soldered on but insufficient solder was used. We pressed it back in place and added a few dabs of solder to hold it.   The Smartbridges people might want to make a note of it for their inspection department.   John Banes
