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.

Thanks,

  Is it an AF24 or 5? The 24 uses 50 watts. The power control relays on the 
regular and GigE injectors will only handle 1A @ 48VDC. If it's a 24, you're 
likely over that. The relay contacts are probably fused.

  The AF specific single-port injector uses a solid-state relay like a 
SyncInjector and can handle 2A, or more, I forget what Forrest said.

  That said, if the radio isn't getting enough power, it will be unpredictable. 
I have seen this happen. Sounds like you've tried the PacketFlux single AF 
injector and that does it too? Works fine with the UBNT brick? I have no idea.

Thanks I was bouncing around their website after I sent this. It appears it’s a 
standard Cad5 cable to chain them together. I plan to use the included cable as 
long as the units can be close enough together but its possible they may be in 
two different enclosures.

 

Your saying that you can daisy chain two different speed units?

[AFMUG] PacketFlux Sync Injector question

  Is it an AF24 or 5? The 24 uses 50 watts. The power control relays on
 the regular and GigE injectors will only handle 1A @ 48VDC. If it's a 24,
 you're likely over that. The relay contacts are probably fused.

 The AF specific single-port injector uses a solid-state relay like a
 SyncInjector and can handle 2A, or more, I forget what Forrest said.

 That said, if the radio isn't getting enough power, it will be
 unpredictable. I have seen this happen. Sounds like you've tried the
 PacketFlux single AF injector and that does it too? Works fine with the
 UBNT brick? I have no idea.

 So I would not expect it to work at all with a vanilla POE.  Well, maybe
 it might work for a little while, and it would probably only do 100baseT.

Re: [AFMUG] Site Monitor Gigabit POE Injector Issue, related to AirFiber 24

2015-02-13 Thread Ken Hohhof
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.

1.25 amps per pair or 5 amps for all 8 wires if all on the same polarity.  It 
will do more but the transformer starts giving off some heat.  I think it 
unsoldered itself at around 2 amps when I was designing it.

Another (totally hypothetical) thought would be perhaps one of the pairs

causing some DC flux in one of the transformers and degrading the pulse

Is it an AF24 or 5? The 24 uses 50 watts. The power control relays on the 
regular and GigE injectors will only handle 1A @ 48VDC. If it's a 24, you're 
likely over that. The relay contacts are probably fused.

The AF specific single-port injector uses a solid-state relay like a 
SyncInjector and can handle 2A, or more, I forget what Forrest said.

That said, if the radio isn't getting enough power, it will be 
unpredictable. I have seen this happen. Sounds like you've tried the PacketFlux 
single AF injector and that does it too? Works fine with the UBNT brick? I have 
no idea.

It should not work with a regular POE injector.  50 watts is too much 
current for 4 pins; you need to supply power on all 8 pins.  And that, in turn, 
requires transformers to isolate the data lines.

So I would not expect it to work at all with a vanilla POE.  Well, 
maybe it might work for a little while, and it would probably only do 100baseT. 
 Then the 4/5  7/8 pins will fry.

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

2015-02-13 Thread Ken Hohhof
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.

If you are talking about the mast, aluminum doesn’t work well, too bendy.  If 
you want lower weight, use IMC conduit.  The forming process work hardens the 
steel and it is actually stiffer than rigid pipe.  It does have a welded seam 
which you might worry would rust, I haven’t experienced that though.

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.

  Is it an AF24 or 5? The 24 uses 50 watts. The power control relays on the 
regular and GigE injectors will only handle 1A @ 48VDC. If it's a 24, you're 
likely over that. The relay contacts are probably fused.

  The AF specific single-port injector uses a solid-state relay like a 
SyncInjector and can handle 2A, or more, I forget what Forrest said.

  That said, if the radio isn't getting enough power, it will be 
unpredictable. I have seen this happen. Sounds like you've tried the PacketFlux 
single AF injector and that does it too? Works fine with the UBNT brick? I have 
no idea.

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)?

Re: [AFMUG] Site Monitor Gigabit POE Injector Issue, related to AirFiber 24

2015-02-13 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
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.

  Is it an AF24 or 5? The 24 uses 50 watts. The power control relays on
 the regular and GigE injectors will only handle 1A @ 48VDC. If it's a 24,
 you're likely over that. The relay contacts are probably fused.

 The AF specific single-port injector uses a solid-state relay like a
 SyncInjector and can handle 2A, or more, I forget what Forrest said.

 That said, if the radio isn't getting enough power, it will be
 unpredictable. I have seen this happen. Sounds like you've tried the
 PacketFlux single AF injector and that does it too? Works fine with the
 UBNT brick? I have no idea.

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

Re: [AFMUG] Pipe Mounts

2015-02-13 Thread Vince West
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. For larger dishes, I like to have the pipe mounted to
the dish, but have the hardware for mounting to the tower sent up
separately. Depending on the tower, sometimes I have to loosen other cables
to get my mounts fixed and doing this with a large dish and mount at the
same time can be a pain.

[AFMUG] RF Armor shield with ARC wireless 3 foot dish

2015-02-13 Thread Craig Baird
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.

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).

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.
