Re: [AFMUG] Epmp leds for alignment in ptp config?
Hi, In Release 2.4 currently in Open Betahttp://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-Beta/New-ePMP-Beta-Release-2-4-now-available/m-p/38345#U38345), the LEDs on the AP will indicate RSSI strength. There is also a new tool called eAlign (under Tools-eAlign) that provides a graphical representation of RSSI helping with alignment.

Re: [AFMUG] Epmp leds for alignment in ptp config?
Great. Sorry, I should’ve posted about the Open beta on here, earlier. My mistake. A few things about eAlign: 1. Its available on the Master and Slave when the radios are in PTP mode 2. Its available on the SM in PMP mode, not on the AP 3. It will work when there is link. In other words, the alignment tool will not be useful when the SM is simply scanning for APs.

Well that does make sense, it is an *alignment* tool. Hard to align when you're not associated/looking for a specific signal.

[AFMUG] PacketFlux Sync Injector question
Is there any reason I can't daisy chain a Gigabit SyncInjector to one of the 10/100 SyncInjectors? We have a site climb scheduled for Monday and the SyncInjector is in the air on the platform of the structure in a box. I don't know if it's a Gig unit or not but I suspect it is just incase it's a 10/100 though I want to be able to daisy chain to it. Also do I use a straight through, cross over, or standard patch cable to daisy chaining these units? Thanks, Brandon Yuchasz

Re: [AFMUG] Site Monitor Gigabit POE Injector Issue, related to AirFiber 24
That’s a good point I had not considered. In addition to DC flux possibly saturating the core if the current doesn’t split equally, the wire inside those transformers is probably very small gauge, and if too small the transformer will heat up, possibly affecting Ethernet performance or even damaging the transformer.

I would surely agree with the no smoking in company vehicles. Sorry guys, it stinks up the vehicle. To the point that even without smoking in the vehicle, it gets on your clothes, you sit in the vehicle, then someone else sits in the vehicle, they go to a customer’s house, and the customer smells it and doesn’t want you in their house. It’s in the same category with customers who don’t realize their whole house stinks of cat urine, and after doing an install you have to shower and change clothes before you go to the next appointment, which may not be practical. Like the roundtable discussion I heard on TV about measles vaccinations. One person said the government shouldn’t force you to get vaccinated, but private enterprise should – Starbucks should have a sign no shirt, not shoes, no measles vaccination, no service. Another person said if you want to live in the 1940’s you should have to go all in with the 1940’s lifestyle, not use any technology invented after. Sorry, now I’m probably starting a debate about vaccinations. Geez, I hope not. I was born in 1950 and believe me, we don’t want to go back to people dying of measles. Our soldiers deployed overseas get all sorts of nasty vaccinations, the MMR shot is nothing.

Re: [AFMUG] Pipe Mounts
Many 3 ft and larger dishes, especially high performance and licensed, specify a 3.5” diameter pipe. In fact some specify 4.5”, but that’s a bit excessive IMHO, at least for a 3 ft dish. The next size down is probably 2.375 which I use a lot of. The other thing once you start needing a 3.5 or 4.5 inch pipe, is support struts or stiff arms. I find it annoying that Radiowaves doesn’t have a tab to attach a stiff arm on their 3 ft licensed dishes. And no lift hook either. Grrr.

Re: [AFMUG] PacketFlux Sync Injector question
There isn't anything different between any recent injector daisy chain wise. Any straight-through cable on the syncpipe daisy-chain ports, cat5 or flat satin will work - although for longer distances you want CAT5. The sitemonitor ports can be dasychained with either a straight or reversed (1-6 to 6-1) 6p6c connector. I'm assuming you're not asking about power. -forrest On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 10:28 AM, bran...@gogebicrange.net wrote: Is there any reason I can’t daisy chain a Gigabit SyncInjector to one of the 10/100 SyncInjectors?

Note that if you do the division you'll come up with a lower current rating than the magnetics are rated for just because of the cable drop. The manufacturer I use actually has built quite a bit of additional capability in their product - the actual rating is higher - closer to, but not quite as high as what chuck is stating for the ones he uses (which is odd since I though we were using the same magnetics).

Upgrade everything to 13.2.1 and 5480 is checked during the upgrade process On Friday, February 13, 2015, Craig Baird cr...@xpressweb.com wrote: I have a 430 AP that I want to put on channel 5480. It was running an 11.x firmware. If you recall, on firmware prior to 12.1.2, the first available frequency was 5485. So, I upgraded this AP in order to be able to set it to 5480. Problem is that after the upgrade, SMs with firmware prior to 12.1.2 wouldn't connect because they couldn't do 5480. So, I set the AP back to 5485 and upgraded all the SMs to 12.1.2. I then set the AP back to 5480, only to find that the SMs still wouldn't register because the frequency scan setting in the SMs didn't have the additional channels checked. So that's my question. Is there any way to do this via CNUT on all the SMs so I don't have to manually log into every one of them and check the 5480 box? Craig
Re: [AFMUG] Site Monitor Gigabit POE Injector Issue, related to AirFiber 24
We have revised our recommendation in this regard: The relay on the Gigabit Injectors is actually rated for 60W DC, so it's fine to power an AF24 via the standard Gigabit injector. I find it odd that this is an asymmetrical issue. Gigabit uses all four pairs in both directions simultaneously, so a defect on a pair should affect both directions virtually identically. This is a lot like a radio link getting 20db less signal in one direction or the other. Just curious, has a different *length* of patch cable between the switch and the injector been tried (could be a reflection issue)? -forrest On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 6:09 PM, George Skorup (Cyber Broadcasting) geo...@cbcast.com wrote: Is it an AF24 or 5?

Re: [AFMUG] Site Monitor Gigabit POE Injector Issue, related to AirFiber 24
The transformers we use are rated for the 802.3at spec, which is 25.50W per pair at the powered device end, using 48V at the source end and factoring in cable drop along a 100M cable. Note that if you do the division you'll come up with a lower current rating than the magnetics are rated for just because of the cable drop. The manufacturer I use actually has built quite a bit of additional capability in their product - the actual rating is higher - closer to, but not quite as high as what chuck is stating for the ones he uses (which is odd since I though we were using the same magnetics). It's amazing, though, how many of these cheap PoE injectors use a non-power-rated transformer which is also not rated for extended power range. -forrest On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 10:42 AM, Chuck McCown ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: http://www.wbmfg.com/products.cfm?PID=77 1.25 amps per pair or 5 amps for all 8 wires if all on the same polarity.

Re: [AFMUG] Employee Breaks and Phone Use
3 types of drug testing: 1) screen all candidates 2) make offer with drug test as condition of employment 3) random testing of employees There is some controversy about 1 and 3. Pretty hard to argue with 2. Here’s an offer of employment conditional on passing a drug test at XYZ independent testing lab before your first day. Go pee in the cup and they will contact us saying you pass or fail. If employees drive on the job or operate machinery, I can understand even random testing. I could also understand if they will be working unsupervised in customer houses. One other consideration, and I’m talking more about hard drugs here than alcohol or marijuana. Most cases of employee theft are driven by drug addiction. You will find things like employees selling your inventory and tools to get money.

Re: [AFMUG] Pipe Mounts
We use a fair amount of UBNT RD-5G30 dishes, and I prefer to mount them with M-TOW-P-36. I don't know what size the pipe is, but I find that it is useful for just about everything we do. If we are doing something like a PTP-800 or SAF links, I use a larger pipe with a different type of mount. For smaller links using ARC IE kits, we use the M-TOW-10. Again, the pipe diameter is perfect. For a tower mount with a larger pipe, do you plan to still use the same design for fixing it to the tower (ie. saddle to saddle with bolts)? Or will something more heavy duty be used with u-bolts to a mount that holds a pipe? To clarify, this CommScope kit https://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=500401eventGroup=4eventPage=1 uses brackets that mount to the tower and separate brackets to hold the pipe. I ask because one of the things I like the most about the M-TOW mounts, especially the 36 mounts is that I can mount the dish to it and then have sent up the tower.

I don't know what size the pipe is, but I find that it is useful for just about everything we do. If we are doing something like a PTP-800 or SAF links, I use a larger pipe with a different type of mount. For smaller links using ARC IE kits, we use the M-TOW-10. Again, the pipe diameter is perfect. For a tower mount with a larger pipe, do you plan to still use the same design for fixing it to the tower (ie. saddle to saddle with bolts)? Or will something more heavy duty be used with u-bolts to a mount that holds a pipe? To clarify, this CommScope kit https://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=500401eventGroup=4eventPage=1 uses brackets that mount to the tower and separate brackets to hold the pipe. I ask because one of the things I like the most about the M-TOW mounts, especially the 36 mounts is that I can mount the dish to it and then have sent up the tower.

[AFMUG] RF Armor shield with ARC wireless 3 foot dish
Does anyone know if the RF Armor 3 foot RocketDish shield will work with the ARC Wireless 3 foot dish? Just looking at pictures, the ARC dish looks virtually identical to the RocketDish. Just wondering if the shield kit will fit it. Streakwave is all out of 3 foot RocketDishes, so I'm looking at alternatives, but I've got to have the shield. Craig

Re: [AFMUG] Pipe Mounts
These are what I've used. They are heavy duty and inexpensive and work with a large range of pipe sizes. Also, you can replace the bolts with allthread to build a mount on two sides for clusters (for example, on a single pole on top of a tower). http://www.ciwireless.com/product/pipe-to-pipe-clamp-set-for-1-12-in-3-12-in-od-pipes-12-in-thick-set-of-2/ On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 5:49 PM, Jaime Solorza losguyswirel...@gmail.com wrote: Jaime Solorza I am doing this universal pipe mount that will allow a larger dish on a Rohn type or crappy sheet metal freestanding type.

Re: [AFMUG] Trango Altum AC PTP test results
Jeremy, Yes I had issues but I didn't call support. It took me almost 2 hours to get the two radios to see each other but I finally got them too. I wasn't following the PTP quick start guide like I was told to. When I initially configured the radios I disabled the 2nd port (called WAN) in the manual. For some reason they would not link until I turned it back on. Even though I wasn't using the WAN port. Kurt Fankhauser Wavelinc Communications P.O.
