is hitting the FAN!!
Just thought I would let
you all know that the airPoint (cb mode) just came back online by itself,
without user interaction, at 1730 PST.� I guess it cooled down on its own with
the temperature drop of late day.
I use MRTG to poll it
every 5 minutes and I also use IPCheck to ping it every 5 minutes.
Whoopss…hahaha…I
guess it heard me talking about it…it just dropped again, after being
back online for almost 2 hours.
Geesshhh….I am
going to have to send smartBridges my cell phone bill for the hundreds of text
messages I receive when a freaking unit goes off line.� Hahahahha.
Actually, I only send
text messages on KEY devices (head end, repeaters, servers, routers, etc).�
But…being that each of my repeater locations has 2 radios back to back
and then the head end…anyway…quite a few radios which generate
quite a few text messages.� )-;

P.S.� Just came back
up…guess it is at it’s temperature threshold.

Damn it!� This
is getting ridiculous.� I know that sB has been very responsive…and has
also sent me directly a bunch of new units (which should be here Monday or
Tuesday), but DAMN IT!
At
approximately 9:45 am my head-end unit went down taking everyone with it.� I
received a page, and was able to do a manual power reset on it within a few
minutes (it was not
responding to anything on the Ethernet or Wireless side).� This brought it back
online and all the clients as well (except a couple of troubled airBridge units
with crappy chips in them).�� Then 5 minutes later, four client airBridge units
lost association never to regain it.� I had to call the clients and have them
do a manual power reset to get them back online.�
OF SPECIAL NOTE: My new airPoint (indoor) which I am using at a
client’s house in CB mode has also lost association.� I used the aPi
because I thought it had not been affected by the “crappy chip
syndrome”.� But…it is down.� It went down within minutes of the
others.�
Okay…I
will try to make this short…I have been going back and forth with this
for 50 minutes now.� The head-end keeps going down every few minutes.� At first
the clients will start dropping off the associated list then it just craps out
all together.� I have now unplugged it for 10 minutes hoping that when I plug
it back in, it will stay up.� I am sure all my clients are BITCHING at me right
now!!!!!!!!
The
client units are dropping like flies.� I have 18 airBridge units deployed from
the June batch.� Of them, 12 have lost association in the past 1 hour.� I guess
the other 6 must have received the good chips on the other production line (no
joke).
Oh…I
guess I should tell you this.� It is a SCORCHER here in Monterey.�� Not!!!!

From
0945 to 1045 every day is a scary time for me.� It is not the hottest part of
the day, but it is the time when all my units become FLAKY!� It was around 63
last night and when the morning sun hits these units all of a sudden…and
the temperature starts rising quickly…then the units lose association.�
It is not that they are HOT…cause they are not.� It is the temperature change that does it.� I just jumped up on the roof and felt my head-end….it is
just warm.
If the
units I receive on Monday-Tuesday don’t fix this problem…I am
done.� Truly done with sB.� No self-respecting business man many would put
loyalty to a supplier over the existence of his own company.� If they
do…they are sure to die.
PLEASE DON’T ANYONE EVEN TRY TO TELL ME HOW TO
TROUBLESHOOT THIS PROBLEM.� IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!
Sully
p.s.�
The 10 minute “cooling down period” has allowed everyone to
reassociate and stay online for 5 minutes now.� Except the “crappy
chip” airBridge units and the newly installed airPoint indoor.
