Title: RE: [smartBridges] Brand New APPO's!

I have had this before where the power light would not work. The unit was otherwise fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nish Park To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 9:53 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Brand New APPO's! Shawn, I read the email a few times and watched the movie also. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. As the label says, you need to upgrade the F/W before it will work properly. There are no units with �bad� chips in them. The thermal issue can be solved by either the new hardware or the new firmware.   (ps. After the firmware upgrade you may want to associate a client to check the operation. In the movie it looks like you may have a unit with bad Blue LED. Ethernet LED is flashing as per normal so it looks like the units is working ok but for some reason the Blue LED may have come off the solder joint).   Nish     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Mitchell Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 9:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Brand New APPO's!   I'm resizing the images and stuff right now...

How the hell... whats that bug u speak of sounds kinda funny since u said u passed traffic -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 7:05 PM To: smartBridges And they have bad chips in them! The white sticker on the box say's "Before these will work correctly, you must upgrade them"... So I think to myself, "Smartbridges said they pulled back all the ones they still had with bad chips, so these must not have any heat issues... right.."  WRONG! Here's a nice little 30 second movie:  http://www.iodamedia.net/new-appo.avi One on the bottom is running the .8 code, one on top is running the code it came with, .5 Now, they got deliverd at around 12:30pm CDT.  I wasn't there, called them on the phone and told them to sit them outside in the sun, plugged in just for grins. This day (yesterday) happen to be breaking record temps all over the place. It showed 102*F on the temp readout on my jeep.  These units were warm, but not hot to the touch.  "burnning" to the human touch is around 50*C (122*F). MUCH lower than what the units are rated at. But anyway, you can very plainly see that on the bottom unit, it's working just as normal (RFtxrx light blinks), but on the top one... it's totaly off. DEAD... well, I didn't replace the two AP's that I needed to replace still.   I tested them today.. I'm going to put up the screen shots from it.. it's quite funny, and let's just say I found a few FW bugs in the airBridge, or else SB you make good enough of a radio that it connected to an AP 5 miles away, through/around a large hill, and through 20+ multistory brick buildings (with a RSSI of -20 something and a LQ of 90%+ and passing traffic for a while) The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
