Yeah. Not sure why I thought the index name was where I would get the
value. The OID that shows in the UI for the Satellites Visible is:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.32050.2.1.28.2.1
The OID for the actual value is
.1.3.6.1.4.1.32050.2.1.28.5.1
So I was able to fix that part. What I'm wondering is how to know that
We've had a loss in sync. There is something under Binary I/O called
"1PPS Active".
Seeing as we only poll once every 5 minutes, catching that going to zero
seems slim to none. However, I am intrigued by the "Events" value.
Does that increment every time the Syncpipe loses sync? In which case,
I can zero it out, and set a threshold for whenever it is non-zero (see
below).
I may try that.

A little out of order:
On the OID's .. you may have the wrong OID. There is an oid for the
title strings, and an oid for the value. You may want to check the
oid you are using. In addition, on the strings tab, there *are*
strings which list the specific statellite and signal strength of all
of the sats it is receiving a signal from.
One more troubleshooting item is the 'pulse received' counter on the
analog tab. It should increment once and exactly once per second.
I've had good luck comparing this value over a specific time. I.E. at
exactly 10 minutes, there should be exactly 600 more pulses.
As far as fixing it: I'd move the syncpipe, then try a different
one. If a second does the same thing, then we need to look at what
else might be causing it.
If you want to send in screenshots to [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> of the boolean/analog/string tabs from
the sitemonitor, I might be able to see something.

One of our many locations where we're using a Packetflux sync
pipe/injector seems to be losing satellite lock once every few
days. Typically it loses it for 2 to 4 seconds, but I've seen at
least once where it went 13 seconds.
I've not been able to get useful information from the SiteMonitor
because the satellites tracked/Visible OIDs are returning a string
with "Sats in View" and "Num Sats Used" instead of the actual
values. (is that a bug or what? This is on F/W "Jul 29 2012").
However, I'm getting messages like this in the AP logs:

Not sure what I might do here. This is with all the equipment up
against a concrete wall, so there is only a 180 degree view of the
sky. Maybe a little bit less than that because the wall is not
flat, maybe about 170 degree view of the sky.
The APs are PMP450, and rarely get a GPS lock on the internal
GPS. Maybe I can try moving the sync pipe away from the wall or
something.
