When we do this we replace the whole box so all the delicate work, pigtail and connector issues, small screws, gasket issues etc can be dealt with in the office. If you treat it like any other commercial solution (motorola, trango etc) you would do the same thing and it would work when you plugged it in cause you programmed it ahead of time.
Or, if you have someone else to do it remotely then thats a bonus because they can also tell you if you broke anything else while you were working up there.... Not something you want to find out after you hit the ground :) Scott Carullo Brevard Wireless 321-205-1100 x102 -------- Original Message -------- > From: "Data Technology" <w...@dtisp.com> > Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 12:42 PM > To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Changing cards in Mikrotik > > Yes I know it is easy to just sit down and configure the card but, > I do the tower climbing myself and with even a small 40-60 ft tower, by > the time you get down, get the gear off and get to a computer the > adrenalin is flowing and you may tend to make a mistake.
