Hey, What I would do if I wanted to screw with him. Is set up more ap's with the same essid as his and see if his subs stay connected to him. George

are the new ones with the new chips the ones with the white powercoated
mounting
brackets?
Quoting The Wirefree Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Gloria, Glad to hear that you are up and running smoothly. I too am working well with the new (Singapore acquired) units (aPPo's and aBi's). Out
of
13 units I have replaced in the field, all but one have been flawless. I started a continuous ping on that one to keep it up. This one unit has ever-so-slightly Non-LOS. It has about a 88% RSSI and average LQ
of
88%. However, if you look at my MRTG charts, you will see that the LQ is actually swinging ALL OVER THE PLACE due to the NLOS.
I am planning on jumping up there on Friday to point it at the new repeater location (if it has clean LOS).

I think in my case I can conclusively say it was a radio issue. I had four radios on the water tower, all installed at the same time the same way, sharing the same UPS, etc., one of them hasn't failed once, the other three all went down at least once a day - Ethernet port died and the unit locked up solid. Replaced one of them with a new unit from distributor and it had the same problem. Replaced the POE's and power supplies, same thing. Got new radios from Singapore and put them up Friday night and they haven't gone down once. So I think that pretty well proves it was the radios. I am sending all four of them back to Singapore today so they can figure out what is wrong with them.

Set up a constant ping (windows = ping -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Most down radios will come back up after several minutes of pings. Keep pininging and the rasios should stay up. If they do go down, the should comeback up in a few minutes. This is only a workaround to some other problem, wether it is an install issue or a radio issue is not yet knows. SB
says
install issue in most cases and installers say radio issue. In either cas SB will normally approve a an RMA if you feel it is a radio issue.

Tell me about the pinging of the units (a history) I have a few units that keep going down and would love to hear this "pinging" session would help out for now.
Thanks, Steve

After a few weeks of constant pinging, I stopped and the link has never gone down again. I don't even worry about it during a thunderstorm anymore :-)

A lot of us are getting some of these new units and are also holding our breath hoping they solve the problems. Of course, we are all hoping that we will one day be able to breath again and not have to baby-sit our APPOs and keep checking their status with fear in our hearts that something
is
going to be down. I am still pinging the hell out of mine to keep them alive until the new ones get here and am in constant fear that
something
might happen to the machine running the ping and I will lose one again. The last thing I do each night before I go to sleep is check to make sure the ping is still running and they are all up, and it is the first thing I check when I wake up. It sure would be nice to go to sleep one night not worrying that all the APPOs are going to be down when I get up. Best of luck to you - I sure hope for your sake, and all our sake's, that these new ones work the way they are supposed to.
Thanks, Gloria

Subject: [smartBridges] [good and bad] New aPPo from Singapore
Well.I have some good and bad news about my new "gold sticker" aPPo units.
BAD NEWS As you can see by the attached (small) pic.the RSSI at several clients has been steadily going down hill since replacing the unit at 1400 yesterday. Believe me, I could paste about 15 clients that had 100% RSSI and since 1400 have steadily been going down hill.
GOOD NEWS The unit is working.and has not (yet) crapped out like the others did with bad chips.
BAD NEWS With the steadily decreasing RSSI.I don't know how long anyone will
hold
up.
GOOD NEWS There are some differences between this aPPo install and the last. I used a different antenna (same brand and rating-but different), and a different (yet shorter) pigtail between the antenna and the radio. So.this could point to the antenna and pigtail.not the radio.
BAD NEWS Maybe I'm wrong here.but if the new pigtail and antenna were flaky, I would imagine that it would be a sudden affect on the RSSI of my clients, not steadily falling??!?!
So..bottomline is..I am now holding my breath.
More to come.
Sully

Well..I burned in my settings for my head-end with simpleDeploy last night.I then added the MAC list. No problems at all.took 30 seconds.
I just jumped up on the roof and swapped out my crappy aPPo in about 15 minutes. ALL MY USERS CAME BACK ONLINE INSTANTLY AND HAVE NOT YET DROPPED OFF!! Woohoo!! Maybe I shouldn't yell so loud.it has only
been
20 minutes so far. But.my 2 previous bad ones crapped out in less than 10 minutes.
Exception to the above being: the users with bad airBridge units have not come back online yet, but they were already down. My
sub-contractor
is going to be swapping out 10 units tonight.
Oh.one more thing to add to the new aPPo's..the two metal brackets that are connected to the aPPo are now powder coated to match the aPPo box. In other words, they are no longer shiny stainless steel. Just one
more
way for you to identify new from old.
Will keep you posted!!
Sully
P.S. I am feeling good about this!! Next week may be a busy week if these new units hold up!!!!!

I am sitting here burning in new settings for 18 airBridge units and 2 aPPos, to be R&R'd tomorrow. I just wanted to pass on a couple quick observations that I had noticed with this DIRECT SHIPMENT from SINGAPORE. 1. Little RJ-45 cable protector has been softened up and no
longer
takes a pair of vice-grips to disconnect it from the NIC (could still
be
a bit thinner though) 2. They have now included, in the aPPo box, 2-types of COAX sealant for the RF connector. 3. The boxes themselves have GOLD stickers on it and so does the units. (looks like they were triple checked) Anyway...looks like sB really is listening to even the seemingly not so significant suggestions from the forum. Sully
