They are working on software to do the reboot but the bitch is you have to load it on the client PC and it wont work through a firewall if the radio is on the other side. Why they want to deploy it is beyond me It might work for some people but 90% of my customers have routers for security. Yet another project that was NOT thought through by SB.
The clients that do not have a router have the 1s generation product when stuff was good and they don't have a problem I have some of other clients with 1st gen stuff with routers and they to don't have problems? Maybe I will take on of those radios and reverse engineer it and resell it as my own since those seem to work. I might just tear one apart and check component by component to see what has changed unless someone else wants to do it that has more skills then me when it comes to bard level stuff. I bet a qualified RF engineer will find several things wrong.. But then again maybe not and we all suck at installing their product?? ----- Original Message ----- From: "shoffman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 9:15 AM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] MORE ABOS crapping out SBTechs reply there is rather funny. We have a Cisco 350 as our AP, and we were seeing (and logging) ABBO's and ABTotals associating, dissassociating ,over and over again. Had SBTech actually tell us once (damn I wish I could find that e-mail) that "inactivity" of the client will cause the bridge to disassociate... so we bit the bullet and sacrificed bandwidth to start monitoring everybox continuously using SNMP and a ping test analyzer (for latency issues...) Our Cisco logs are much cleaner now, and we do not see the association/disassociation problem as much as we used to... (we do still see it though.... can show you the RSSI/linkquality graphs to show that was not an issue, and a neighbor staying live so interference not an issue) Wish I had time to look at all our data... just hate getting calls from 5% of our customer's on a monthly basis, and the fix is a simple reboot. Wish there was an automatic way that these things if disassociated for X minutes (a time out) would auto perform a power cycle on themselves... I know, I know.. cost....
