To start testing, set AP1 to AP (Access Point) mode and AP2 to CB (Client Bridge) mode. This will allow you to see the signal strength between AP1 and AP2. Make sure to check RSSI an LQ levels on both AP1 and AP2 to make sure they are >60% RSSI (>80% is better) and >75% LQ. If this is ok, set AP1 and AP2 back to PtP mode. AP3 should be in AP mode all of the time. AP2 should be connected to AP3 using a crossover cable or a hub. Using a switch can cause problems if you don't need to add more AP to this site later. 1. What are your RSSI and LQ for the AB>AP3 and AP3>AB? 2. What is a PDS cable? 3. Are you using 2 POE at hilltop site (one for each radio)? 4. Why do you measure wire in feet and distance in kilometers? :-)
Office roof: AirPoint Pro Total in Point-to-Point wireless bridge mode (AirPoint01 <-> AirPoint02) Mast on hilltop: AirPoint Pro Total in Point-to-Point wireless bridge mode (AirPoint02 <-> AirPoint01) AirPoint Pro Outdoor in Accesspoint mode with 14 dbi gain antennas (AirPoint03) Homeoffice Airbridge with 9 dbi gain antenna (2 km away from the mast) AirPoint01 and AirPoint02 are set up as wireless bridges with each others MAC adresses. AirPoint02 and AirPoint03 are connected by 2 75 feet PDS cables ending in a small hut next to the antenna. All units are powered by the standard 12 volt powersupply. Problem: We have only intermittent connections with the units. Question: Which modes should the units be set at? Especially AirPoint03. Should it be Wireless Repeater or perhaps Point-to-Multipoint? ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm 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
