Re: [WISPA] Times Microwave EZ connectors

2009-11-19 Thread AJ
I used to use Coax-seal on everything... Finally discovered CANUSA and won't
ever turn back... Great seal and just takes a decent razor blade to remove
with no residue... Just gotta remember to put it on the coax line *before*
you tighten the fitting... Doh lol.

This should work just fine, Jerry.  I've built several units just like
that and there is easily enough room for what you want.

me off list and I can get that assembled, tested, built and upgraded for

Subject: [WISPA] MikroTik setup

Looking at using MT in a small public WiFi setup. The topology is going
to be a 5.7GHz WDS PMP from the top of a 10-story building looking down
onto the streets with 2.4 client access at street level. Initially this
will not be a mesh but I may implement MT's MME later.

My thought is to use a MT411AR + R52 in a 5GHz Rootenna with an N
connector installed in the bottom of the enclosure for an Omni.

Having never worked with these specific parts I want to make sure there
is room in the bottom of the enclosure for a bulkhead mount N connector.

Thoughts? Comments?

Re: [WISPA] Times Microwave EZ connectors

2009-11-19 Thread lakeland
No 400 connector from any of the manufacturers is weatherproof by itself.  You 
need to weatherproof all of your connections. If they are not getting wet you 
are lucky. Plain and simple.

I've run out of these, and none of the vendors I use commonly carry them. 
Anyone out west have these?

Yeah, I know, it costs more to buy two of these than a whole pre-built 10 
foot cable, but every danged pre-built I buy has water issues.

We have never had to seal any of the cables we built ourselves, and none of 
them have ever leaked (except when someone who'll forever remain nameless 
forgot to tighten the cable...), but I have no luck at all with the pre-made 
I've bought from multiple places.   Our temporary site needed to go up in a 
real hurry, so I bought a whole pile of parts and cables, and most of them 
have had issues.

Re: [WISPA] Need a new AP

2009-11-19 Thread Mike
Most Atheros radios I've seen can have an AP and a "virtual AP."  I 
have one set up in my office.  One SSID leads to WEP encryption and 
different router rules.  The other is WPA, virtual, and privileged; 
for full network access.  Some of our "devices" don't do wpa nicely.

Wow do I feel dumb.  I am doing this myself at home.

Primary wireless interface - WEP
Virtual AP on said interface - WPA

I do different SSIDs, not sure how clients would react if they were the

Re: [WISPA] Need a new AP

Mike put up a bit of info about what's on the way in 5.1 on DSLR. Appears we
are getting close to seeing a beta.

""Features that are in 5.1:

- DynamicACK is rewritten with many improvements.

- Full 802.11abg support

- Full Encryption support (WEP, WPA/WPA2 AES/TKIP ect)

- ACK Removal for Point to Point links

- AutoRate selection Algorithm is rewritten.

- New Web server for the software

and a lot more.

The Beta should be on the forum tommorow and the best part is the software
will be free.

In that case, use a MikroTik RB411R.
Integrated radio, and MT can do various encryptions you need.

Sorry, I overlooked that part of the request.

2)  Must support WEP encryption, but be able to handle a mix of WEP and

I believe Advanced Antenna bought out the old Equinox company, and now it 
appears they, too, have gone belly-up - or at least the old website is now 
gone (www.advancedantennainc.com).Perhaps now there's yet another 
operating under the old brand, or maybe they changed websites and I can't 
find the new one.

Over the years I've used a number of their antennas, and they were by far, 
the most troublesome I have used.   They were even heavier than the 
pacwireless, and used the same flimsy bracket, with the dipole attached to 
the BRACKET not the dish, and the L shaped bracket would bend in the wind, 
leaving the dish and dipole out of alignment.We actually engineered a 
cable retention system we used on both theirs and PW's large grids to keep 
them pointed properly in high winds.

They finally upgraded to a much heavier gauge bracket, but the design flaw 
remained. Then sometime later, I bought a boxful of 2.4 samples (from 
low to high gain), and found they simply weren't worth messing with.   2 out 
of 5 had bad dipoles - one failed on install, the other failed a few months 
later.The price was very cheap, however.   And, they did appear to have 
roughly the gain they claimed.

I took the dipoles apart and found that the construction was beyond bad. 
They were just crude and poorly constructed and poorly designed in every way 
eXCEPT the dipole printed on a PCB, which was very nicely done.
THAT was my experience with the Equinox branded antennas.

Later, I got quotes from Advanced Antenna, and bought bunch of the j-arm 
universal mounts, which were great.Upon calling back, I got my call 
answered by the same guy who used to be at Equinox...   They raised the 
prices of their antennas above pacwireless, so I never bought a thing from 
them except j arm mounts.

Some of the equinox guys left and started their own company,  and I recall 
they had a new name and new location, but I never bought anything from them, 
since my biggest use of antennas is 5 ghz and theirs cost more than 
Pacwireless.   I no longer recall the name they operated under.

Lately, I've used a bunch of Arcwireless panels with the enclosure on the 
back, and the performance from those has been better than any grids I've 
used.Not to mention that compex finally got their certifications done a 
few years ago and that was the antenna of choice :)

 The 23 db panel gave us better RSSI than a 25 db PW grid for a given 
distance.The 2.4 panel performance is also very good.

We lately used mostly ubiquiti bullets (not hp) for cpe and have gone back 
to the PW grids, because the standalone panel antenna mounts for Arcwireless 
totally suck.They're weak,  clumsy, and even look strange.

THere are two versions of PacWireless 5 ghz grids, there's a wideband and a 
narrow band.The wideband has an attached pigtail, and is cheaper by a 
few bucks.   We've had a number of them that didn't work right, found some 
had the beam off to the side,  or other quirks, like wildly varying RSSI for 
small frequency changes.The narrow band ones have no pigtail, but have 
worked better and more reliably, but we find them VERY hard to waterproof. 
We've found that some of the pigtails built onto the grids have leaked water 
right past the shrink wrap.   A couple of temporary installs we used just 
filled themselves with water, which apparently had to come through the 
sheath of the cable, or through the shrink wrap itself.   Still, we keep 
using them by default, because we haven't found any good alternative.   If 
one of them behaves funny, we just toss it in the van and use it in some 
location that's real short distance and the gain or odd beam isn't an issue. 
Still, the water issue was a problem that I am extremely concerned about, 
though the failure rate has been small and only affects a few recent 
installs.

I got some ignition spec dielectric grease and filled the connector with it 
and it's been fine ever since...  the temp install has now made it through 
several more driving rainstorms with no issue, when it failed on the FIRST 
big rain this summer.

Yeah, I know, it costs more to buy two of these than a whole pre-built 10

We have never had to seal any of the cables we built ourselves, and none of 
them have ever leaked (except when someone who'll forever remain nameless

I've bought from multiple places.   Our temporary site needed to go up in a

Yeah, I know, it costs more to buy two of these than a whole pre-built 10 
foot cable, but every danged pre-built I buy has water issues.

We have never had to seal any of the cables we built ourselves, and none of 
them have ever leaked (except when someone who'll forever remain nameless 
forgot to tighten the cable...), but I have no luck at all with the pre-made 
I've bought from multiple places.   Our temporary site needed to go up in a

Re: [WISPA] 24dB 2.4 gig grid antennas

2009-11-19 Thread MDK
I believe Advanced Antenna bought out the old Equinox company, and now it 
appears they, too, have gone belly-up - or at least the old website is now 
gone (www.advancedantennainc.com).Perhaps now there's yet another 
operating under the old brand, or maybe they changed websites and I can't 
find the new one.

Over the years I've used a number of their antennas, and they were by far, 
the most troublesome I have used.   They were even heavier than the 
pacwireless, and used the same flimsy bracket, with the dipole attached to 
the BRACKET not the dish, and the L shaped bracket would bend in the wind, 
leaving the dish and dipole out of alignment.We actually engineered a 
cable retention system we used on both theirs and PW's large grids to keep 
them pointed properly in high winds.

They finally upgraded to a much heavier gauge bracket, but the design flaw 
remained. Then sometime later, I bought a boxful of 2.4 samples (from 
low to high gain), and found they simply weren't worth messing with.   2 out 
of 5 had bad dipoles - one failed on install, the other failed a few months 
later.The price was very cheap, however.   And, they did appear to have 
roughly the gain they claimed.

I took the dipoles apart and found that the construction was beyond bad. 
They were just crude and poorly constructed and poorly designed in every way 
eXCEPT the dipole printed on a PCB, which was very nicely done.
THAT was my experience with the Equinox branded antennas.

Later, I got quotes from Advanced Antenna, and bought bunch of the j-arm 
universal mounts, which were great.Upon calling back, I got my call 
answered by the same guy who used to be at Equinox...   They raised the 
prices of their antennas above pacwireless, so I never bought a thing from 
them except j arm mounts.

Some of the equinox guys left and started their own company,  and I recall 
they had a new name and new location, but I never bought anything from them, 
since my biggest use of antennas is 5 ghz and theirs cost more than 
Pacwireless.   I no longer recall the name they operated under.

Lately, I've used a bunch of Arcwireless panels with the enclosure on the 
back, and the performance from those has been better than any grids I've 
used.Not to mention that compex finally got their certifications done a 
few years ago and that was the antenna of choice :)

 The 23 db panel gave us better RSSI than a 25 db PW grid for a given 
distance.The 2.4 panel performance is also very good.

We lately used mostly ubiquiti bullets (not hp) for cpe and have gone back 
to the PW grids, because the standalone panel antenna mounts for Arcwireless 
totally suck.They're weak,  clumsy, and even look strange.

THere are two versions of PacWireless 5 ghz grids, there's a wideband and a 
narrow band.The wideband has an attached pigtail, and is cheaper by a 
few bucks.   We've had a number of them that didn't work right, found some 
had the beam off to the side,  or other quirks, like wildly varying RSSI for 
small frequency changes.The narrow band ones have no pigtail, but have 
worked better and more reliably, but we find them VERY hard to waterproof. 
We've found that some of the pigtails built onto the grids have leaked water 
right past the shrink wrap.   A couple of temporary installs we used just 
filled themselves with water, which apparently had to come through the 
sheath of the cable, or through the shrink wrap itself.   Still, we keep 
using them by default, because we haven't found any good alternative.   If 
one of them behaves funny, we just toss it in the van and use it in some 
location that's real short distance and the gain or odd beam isn't an issue. 
Still, the water issue was a problem that I am extremely concerned about, 
though the failure rate has been small and only affects a few recent 
installs.

I got some ignition spec dielectric grease and filled the connector with it 
and it's been fine ever since...  the temp install has now made it through 
several more driving rainstorms with no issue, when it failed on the FIRST 
big rain this summer.

Re: [WISPA] Reset StarOS

2009-11-19 Thread John Valenti
Steve,
I don't know about WRAP, but for War2 boards I'm pretty sure you need  
to ssh (putty) into it, go into System ... System Console. Then type  
in "system factory".  That resets everything to factory defaults (ip  
address, passwords, everything)

You can do the same process on War1 boards, but they also have a reset  
switch that does the same thing. (little pushbutton, next to DC power  
connector I think)

Re: [WISPA] X86 low power board w/3 or more ethernet

2009-11-19 Thread MDK

Low power is 10 watts or less.

This site runs on solar/wind power.The amount of power available is very 
limited.

I've been looking at multiport ethernet card/mini-itx board combinations to 
do the trick...

Awkward physically, and a little on the large size for power consumption, 
though the ALIX mini-itx is quite attractive for that.

I would have to agree with Marlon, my experience with Pacwireless grids was
less than exceptional.  On the other hand I really like their horizontal
sectors and horizontal omnis.

If you are still looking for a replacement for the Andrew 2.4Ghz 24dbi, we
used to purchase our 24db's from Hyperlink Technologies and had good luck
with those.

I second and also third that opinion on the Pac bracket.   S U C K S !

I use them for backhauls and they aren't spaced too far apart so the loss of
dB isn't much of an issue with me at the moment.  Is there a grid that isn't
that much more in cost but a better value for the buck?

In my testing they are often at least 2 or three dB less than the rating. 
They have a crappy bracket.  They are 2x heavier.

Actually, there isn't anything that I DO like about them.  Been that way for

years.  I even tried one again a year or so ago.  yuck

Re: [WISPA] X86 low power board w/3 or more ethernet

2009-11-19 Thread Dennis Burgess
What do you consider low power?  THe PowerRouter 732 will operate at
GigE speeds, 7 GigE Interfaces and consumes around 80 watts.

Subject: [WISPA] X86 low power board w/3 or more ethernet


Looking for an x86 compatible board of some kind with at least 3 or
(better) 
more ethernet ports.

Anyone have suggestions?

Needs to have enough cpu power to route full 100m ethernet speed.
gigE 
would be even better.

I've not found such a beast... but I need one where there's no ac power,
no 
climate control...

I believe Commscope was the company that purchased Andrew.

Re: [WISPA] Cat3 instead of Cat5

2009-11-19 Thread Mike Hammett
Speaking of DragonWave...  They have radios now that do more than 1 Gbit of 
throughput in a single direction.  Are they just doing multiple GigE ports 
or is a 10GigE interface available?

AFAIK, there is no standard for PoE on GigE, so each company does their own 
thing until a standard is made available.  I have heard one reference to it 
as power over datalines.

Hi All,

What are you using for grid antennas?  I really don't like the Pac Wireless 
ones.  But I need something new because the Andrew (can't remember the new 
name) ones are being discontinued.

Suggestions?
