Thanks for the info. I'll check and see what I can find. Not that big of a deal, though, for the price of the thing but if MT will go for it, what the heck.

Of course it matters who it came from :( because the dist have to pay to send the board back to Latvia and if it's surge damage then we pay to bring the board back again all for a $79 board and it takes generally 3-4 months at best to get them fixed (or returned not fixed because it was deemed surge damage). I'm sure streakwave don't want to pay for the shipping on a board they didn't sell (make any money on) and neither do we. On our invoices you will have the board serial number. If you had the system I'd you could retrieve the key and see whom it was bought from. But I would dare to assume you don't have the key.. Call our RMA line or send a e-mail to r...@wisp-router and the girls will look up your serial number if it came from us and if that is the case take care of your rma. But if the board worked for 4months I would think MT will not warranty it. Now if it was new unused they might. /Eje CTO, WISP-Router, Inc.

Turned out to be........ The 411 card. "HUH?" I hear ya say. I dunno either. I attacked the cables first thing, replaced the pig tail, the short extension of lmr-400 from the pac grid to enclosure, cat5 to router. Man! Still dead! So I connected my laptop directly into the 411 board and no response. Reset, still nothing. Lights up, gives me one beep but never completes the boot, no cute "beep beep" of satisfaction. Got it here at home, no manner of resetting gets it, can't get in via serial. Could go with the jtag but I don't want to deal with putting the pins on it. Bummer. Only 4 months old, this one is. "Now where did I buy the thing?" is what I'm asking myself. MT says to RMA through the distributor but I pick these things up from whoever has the UBNT stuff in stock at the time, I just add to the order. The invoices don't list the MAC ID or serial number, not that I can see. Could be Streakwave, Wlanparts or Wisp-router. I think I bought a few things form Jeffs Soho, might have just been 433's.... Anyhow, any tips on the RMA on these things? Does it really matter who gets the hit? I'd vote for Streakwave, they're closer.

The last time I experienced that, it was a bad cable end, where the wind had shaken the last 18 inches of 400 size cable - the distance from the last clamp to the N connector, and the N connector had literally shaken apart. The entire braiding had broken loose and the compression on the foam inner had crushed until the whole cable began creeping out of the connector. It was cold, and even the shrink wrap had cracked, and the tape wrapped over that was just slowly stretching... -------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert West" <robert.w...@just-micro.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 8:12 AM To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: [WISPA] Wind! > Windy today, supposed to have gusts up to 50mph before days end.
