We're doing the same thing thresholding on the 1PPS Active counter. But
we (still) don't have any of our 3GHz PMP450s in the air yet. Was hoping
to have at least one of them up this week, but it's not worked out that way.
We are getting messages like these in the event log of the affected APs:
03/02/2015 : 20:06:20 PDT : Lost sync pulse from Power Port.
03/02/2015 : 20:06:20 PDT : Acquired sync pulse from Power Port.
The loss doesn't last long, but I think it resets the session counters
on all the SMs.

Uh, no. Definitely not good.
Here's one of mine for comparison. Which is also where I'm having odd
issues with two 3GHz 450 sectors. Not to mention the same problems at
sites with parasitics. I have another SyncInjector at another site
running a 5GHz 450 AP and it works fine. Plus dozens and dozens of
deluxe and parasitics on FSK and 2.4 and 5GHz 450 which all work fine.
So it's not the timing devices. Something about the 3GHz 450 is just
different.
Anyway.. I cleared the events, I forget, maybe a month or two ago
after I cycled the pipe to see if that fixed anything, which it did
not. I use the event counters with Cacti thresholds to alert me when
something happens. I look to see what happened, then I clear the
counters to get the threshold out of warn/alert status. That sorta
messes up the RRDs for one cycle, but oh well.

I reset these counters about a week ago. I think this is not normal?

There are some pulse counts on the syncinjectors which may help you
troubleshoot. Pulses used should go up by one every second, no
more, no less. None of the other counters should increment except
very rarely.
If you're seeing anything else, shoot a couple of screenshots into

Yes, there are issues I'm seeing with AutoSync on all bands with
13.2/13.2.1. <http://13.2.1.> But 3GHz is... different, and I
don't know why. I have a couple APs on a SyncInjector and some
single APs on parasitic pipes. I thought it was just the
SyncInjector or something else at the site until I started
seeing the same problems on the parasitics after just a few days
of install at new sites. They all have the on-board GPS disabled
too. Random LBT hits, the APs show inSync and outSync counts but
no lost/acquired timing messages in the event log, and the
SyncInjector says nothing happened, SMs going crazy losing
session, APs reporting SMs out of range when things go nuts and
I have to reboot the AP(s). AutoSync+FreeRun get stuck in
FreeRun. Something in the FPGA code or some other logic screwed
up. I have no idea, so I hope Cambium can figure it out.

Not this one. This one is running a pair of PMP450s in 5 GHz.
We're putting up a pair of PMP450s soon on different POPs;
one will go into a syncinjector, the other will be a CTM.
Is there some issue that you're seeing on the 3GHz varaiety?

Doesn't matter. The RJ45's are just pass-thru. The new
universal pipes pull power from two pins, so it can be
used with either PMP100/450 or 430 APs. But I always
have the guys put the jumper out to the radio into the
center RJ45 and the cable from the injector to the RJ45
with the LEDs, just as standard practice, not that it
matters.
I do have a question for you about this though.. is this
SyncInjector running 3GHz 450 APs?

Thanks George!
i take it from the description that this boogers up
the power/outputs such that (ether?) RJ45 on the
parasitic can be used to connect to the
syncinjector? One of the RJ45s has lights, and the
other is just a vanilla shielded RJ45 (I'm looking
at a rev H1). So I can just build this little
jumper for between the 6p6c and the adjacent RJ45,
then use the outer RJ45 to connect to the syncinjector?

We have a syncpipe basic that we think is
starting to act up. It seems to lose sync
about once every day or two for about 1
second. It's starting to raise havoc with
long-lasting client sessions through the
affected APs.
We only have a couple of syncpipe parasitics
in stock; can one of these be swapped in
place of a basic to run a sync injector?
