Do you use ferrites on the cat5 cables? -original message- Subject: [WISPA] RB-411AH being really Weird From: Steve Barnes <st...@pcswin.com> Date: 14/12/2010 1:56 pm Mikrotik Gurus please Read and give advice sorry for the length of this. I have a tower that has been very weird for me The night before Thanksgiving we had a huge storm. There was very little lightening but +2" of rain. At 6:00 am Thanksgiving day the whole tower crashed. I have AC run to the top, a Allen Bradley power supply converts to dc and powers the 8 devices I have at the top all of them Mikrotik but one UBNT. The Allen Bradley Power supply had died Completely. I had a Climber replace the 12 Volt Allen Bradley with a 24 Volt since all the equipment could handle the 24 volts. Everything came back up and life was good. For 6 hours. Then the 3- RB411AH /XR2 sectors just started rebooting over and over again. Then they went off completely but everything else on the tower was fine. I personally climbed the tower a day later and found that the 24V power supply was putting out 36 volts and the Over Voltage protection on the 411's were turning them off. I replaced the Power Supply to a 12 volt turned up to 18Volt and immediately everyth ing was fine. For 1 week. All the sudden one morning I got pages saying 1 of the sectors was down again so I started watching it and It would be up for 3 min then reboot itself I checked Routing and Watchdog all were fine, just to be sure I turned watch dog off. Then all the sudden It stayed up. 30 min later sector 2 started going up and down. After 15 min of that they all stabilized. They have been up for 8 days now. This morning I woke up and had one of them completely down and one of the others have been going up and down. I was sending a tech out to reset the tower when the Sector that had been down for 5 hours for some reason rebooted itself and has worked ever since and just now the 2nd sector stabilized as well. I am going to run new wires to the Sectors and replace all the 411s and xr2s. I am afraid this will not resolve the issue. I have already replaced the POE's and APCs as well. All running ROS 4.11. It has been terrible weather here so I am limping as best I can till it is safer for the climb. Any other ideas.
