RE: [smartBridges] ABO and firewalls

Hi Rick,   I think it shouldn’t be any problem with the following setup. As you mentioned, you are also running this setup with few customers and it is working perfectly alright.   {PC=192.168.1.45/24} --> {Linksys LAN=192.168.1.1/24 WAN=12.172.164.202/24} --> {ABO=12.172.164.201/24} --> {APPO=12.172.164.11/24}   Sometimes, if you use higher power antenna for the shorter distance, you may have the intermittent drop out problem also. But the RSSI and LQ values will be at 100%. Please ensure that the antenna output power is not too high for the shorter distance. The problem might be having a lot of RF power coming out of the system and causing intermittent connection problem.   In order to understand the installation status, please kindly provide us the following information. 1. The type of antenna and gain used on the aPPO and the aBO 2. Approximate distance between primary APPO to aBO   If everything is appropriate, then you can try our new beta firmware 0.01.08 on the aBO(--> {ABO=12.172.164.201/24}).   Thank you   Kind regards, Seeni sB Tech support     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kunze Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 12:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] ABO and firewalls   Seeni,   Here is the setup that doesn't work:   {PC=192.168.1.45/24} --> {Linksys LAN=192.168.1.1/24 WAN=12.172.164.202/24} --> {ABO=12.172.164.201/24} --> {APPO=12.172.164.11/24}   There is some kind of intermittent problem with such a setup that affects some but not all.  It may have something to do with the ABO and LinksysWAN being on the same /24.  I have several customers running this successfully but one that has a problem.   The problem surfaced a couple months ago.  Customer bought the Linksys on E-Bay so I thought that might be the problem.  I replaced the Linksys with a new one and the problem disappeared.  BUT, a few weeks later it came back.  And it took a few weeks to happen to the E-Bay unit too.   It's not a signal strength issue as I'm doing the testing on the bench at 100% RSSI.   Thanks.   Rk   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
