Subject: [smartBridges] Possible sB field visitation

I will throw my name in the hat for possible WISP visitations.  Not only is the Monterey area very beautiful with outstanding weather, I also believe that with the number of WEIRD issues that my equipment has will really provide you with “bang for the buck”.   We are by the way, a pure smartBridges WISP.

 

Let me outline my current problem set:

  1. Several units will not allow me to log in with simpleMonitor (but will respond to MRTG and simpleNMS).
    [TEH->] Try logging several times, localy if needed. If you can't get in still, log in as 'USER' then go to 'Site Settings' and select 'select from available access points', click on the one it should be associated with, then click 'associate'. A window will pop up and ask for the administrative password. Enter your admin password and hi enter. You are now in admin mode and can go to the security tab. However you get in, reset the password to what you want two times or more. 
  2. Most of my aPPo’s (client bridge mode) will not allow longer than 3 character passwords
    [TEH->] From a directly connected machine, apply the 1.04 firmware. Log in and reset your password. Logout and apply the 1.06 firmware. 
  3. My head-end and one of my repeaters (both in access point mode) fail intermittently ß june equipment
    [TEH->] If RSSI is < 60%, put a slightly higher gain antenna on it. Once the RSSI is > 60%, using 'Dial-a-power' set the output to 15dB or lower untill the signal drops by 2-3% but is still above 60%. Unplug the radio of 15 minutes. From a directly connected machine reapply latest firmware. If unit still looses association, plug the radio in to a good power filter or try response to question 4. 
  4. 11 of my newly deployed airBridges are losing association ß june equipment
    [TEH->] Try response to question 3 first. If that still fails, keep simpleNMS open and polling the radios that will not stay connected. Alternatly, run a script that pings each radio once every minute. After running this for a week the radios should stay connected without the ping. I don't know the reason for this. Please keep a log of which fix cured which problems along with the MAC of the radio, the brand of NIC, hub, switch or router that it is plugged in to and the OS of the machine if directly connected. 

 

I think that about covers it.  So…as you can see, you would be knocking out quite a few “field” issues with just one visit.  I could give you from Thursday afternoon through Sunday evening solid of my time.  That is 3.5 days.  I think that would do it.

 

Oh…one more thing to consider when deciding on which WISP to visit…should be the terrain of the WISP deployment.  We have ZERO tree issues, and ZERO hills issues.  Perfectly flat, new housing areas with ~13000 homes that have NO high-speed options (no dsl or cable).  There is one other WISP in the area that is using FHSS.  What I am saying here is….we are not dealing with any other factors besides sB equipment and the installation process itself.

 

Sincere about this offer.

Nish if one of the isp's invites seeni or one of the sbtech's to actually see in the field tests would they come? Because I know bobby and a few others would most likely very well opt for this we need to get what is wrong assessed NOW not later, I'm sure sb can spare 1 tech for a few days to watch a few installs and to check out the radios that are messing up in the field and go back and form a analysis report and work from there shit I have a feeling some of these guys wud pay for the trip to come to them althought that's kinda unfair can we get a word from yaz sb.... (note me im fine I have little probs with sb only a few bad clients that the boys at ecomm have taken care of so far all AP's are working but as of sept1 we areturning on 3 more so lets see then)

Nish lets get back to basics rev 1 stuff back a few months before the timign
issues (HEAT and chip) worked great NOTHING has changed in most these peoples
setup other then they put in a NEW APPO or ABO and it does not work??? the
firmware was a bandaid to some chip issues. Now honeslty with a straight face
your going to tell us that its something on our end and NOT the radio? Once
again I challenge you or your partners to come see what we are talking about.
IF you dont have the balls to do it then screw you and the company and we will
take our business elswhere and will post the results on this forum and others.
Believe me 1 or two upset customers is going to ruin your business.

You gys seem to think your shit does not stink I am tired of it I gave you
answers to questions and you guys tend NOT to believe what we tell you. You
haev no business being in this business if you cant take the info we provide
and look into the problem further.

I am sorry for sounding harsh but I am F**ING PISSED and tired of making house
calls for dissassociations or units bad out of the box like others are
describing. Once again pull your heads out of your asses and listen up THE END
OF THE ASSEMBLY line is NOT the be all end all for proving yoru product works!
Taek the SH*T in the field here in the US and SHOW us what and how we are doing
it wrong if you think we are in fact incorrect We have asked kindly for your
help now countless times and all you ever reply with is Crimp a new connector
on, its a bad setup we have, you have to much gain, or this or that blah blah
blah. If I heard it once I have heard it a hundred times now and if you told it
to me here live I would have to really hold back to not dot yoru eyes!

GET REAL AND HELP US!!!!!! DAMN IT JIM!
