Re: [AFMUG] Mimosa B24 real world thoughts?

[Faisal Imtiaz]

B24 is an excellent radio for the following situation:- 
1) Short links (lets just say under 1.5 miles give or take). 
2) need small size radio 
3) need low power consumption 
4) need to stack a few in different directions on the same mast. 
5) need a fat pipe, which is not available from 5ghz due to freq / interference 
issues. (up to 1.5G Aggregate) 
6) It is designed for Building Hopping as well as Video Networks 
7) it will be interesting to see if they go thru with their initial intent to 
convert this into a B23 (23Ghz licensed radio). 

B24 is NOT for situations where ! 
1) You need long links (lets just say over 1.5miles). 
3) You have symmetric traffic (i.e duplex ) 
4) You need a larger Radio :) 
5) You need a 700meg or 1G duplex

Re: [AFMUG] tower assembly in Northern WI

[chuck]

I know what you mean.  I had a flight instructor think I was an idiot during 
autorotation practice in a helicopter.  From my point of view I took the rotor 
speed right up to the red line.  But since he was in the left seat parallax 
error made it look like I was overspeeding the rotor and he would violently 
punch the cyclic forward each time.  

Many years ago and I still wake up mad about it.  I kinda hope I run into him 
in a Starbucks someday, him taking orders behind the counter...

Re: [AFMUG] Epmp vs 450 - DFS events

[Eric Muehleisen]

This is interesting. I definitely want to be in compliance, but I also know
that these detection are 100% false. We have redundant AP's on the same
tower mounted at the same height pointing the same direction, but 20mhz
apart, and they don't trip DFS. It's like there is a magical packet or
multipath event that causes this. We may have to give 15.0.2 a try.

Re: [AFMUG] Epmp vs 450 - DFS events

[Darren Shea]

I’ll vouch for Sean’s experience on these – we also had to roll back a bunch of 
DFS 15.1-15.1.3 APs to 15.0.2 to deal with a ridiculous level of false radar 
detections. I haven’t yet tried 15.1.5 on any of those, but there wasn’t any 
indication they dealt with that in release notes.

Re: [AFMUG] RV park network design

Why run ethernet? This seems ideal for fiber. Put a small box for the ONT
on the same pole as the electrical hookup with about 20 ft of ethernet
cable so they can drag it through a window and call it a day. Rent them a
cheap router if they want wifi or mount a small loco ac or something
running as a low powered AP and alternate frequencies every 3 or 4 spaces.

Re: [AFMUG] Looking for PMP 320 SM's

We have Telrad 3000, Telrad 6000, and Telrad 7000.
Telrad 3000 is the same as PMP320 but with different firmware.

I'm sure these won't work with Motorola's bridge mode, but they are

Re: [AFMUG] RV park network design

[Colin Stanners]

Be careful of selling service over Wi-FI... customers buy "signal boosters"
that run their own DHCP server, or they see a very strong signal to their
booster and complain that their service sucks (don't understand that the
signal from the booster to your network is low). And there's interference
from mobile hotspots etc

I would do like Adam says, run ethernet lines everywhere with outdoor-grade
ethernet connection boxes (make sure to have a surge protector on each line
as it returns to your switch). You can try offering some service over wifi
but tell customers that if they want reliable speeds they need to hardwire.

We were approached by a current subscriber who is building an RV park with 
around ~100 pads, and he wants us to offer service to his tenants.  This isn't 
the typical situation where we would sell service to the RV park, and they 
handle distributing it to their customers.  He wants to avoid providing wi-fi 
himself, and will instead let us charge every client that wants service 
separately.  Also, this isn't a campground; his shortest lease term will be 
monthly.

While the park is under construction, he is willing to let us lay conduit, so 
we could provide wired service to each pad if we wanted to.  Alternatively, we 
could just setup a bunch of wi-fi APs.  One potential complication is that we 
have a fairly busy cluster of 5g PMP450s a couple hundred yards from this RV 
park, so while wired service could be more reliable for the park tenants, the 
potential for 100 customer wi-fi routers we can't control operating within

We are leaning more towards a wi-fi option due to better control over spectrum,

Re: [AFMUG] RV park network design

RV's are aluminum cans.  My experience with wifi to campers and RV's has 
not been positive.  Outdoor coverage is easy, getting it reliably into 
all the RV's is less easy.


If you don't run wires now while you can, then you'll regret it later 
IMO.  Ideally do both, there will be people who don't have a router and 
only have WiFi devices as options, and there will be people who really 
need it to work 100% of the time because they'll want to work out of the 
RV park, and for them you'll wish you had a wired option.


Somebody is presumably trenching for water and electric to these pads, 
so maybe you can lay a conduit next to the water lines while the trench 
is open.

Subject: [AFMUG] RV park network design

We were approached by a current subscriber who is building an RV park with 
around ~100 pads, and he wants us to offer service to his tenants.  This isn't 
the typical situation where we would sell service to the RV park, and they 
handle distributing it to their customers.  He wants to avoid providing wi-fi 
himself, and will instead let us charge every client that wants service 
separately.  Also, this isn't a campground; his shortest lease term will be 
monthly.

While the park is under construction, he is willing to let us lay conduit, so 
we could provide wired service to each pad if we wanted to.  Alternatively, we 
could just setup a bunch of wi-fi APs.  One potential complication is that we 
have a fairly busy cluster of 5g PMP450s a couple hundred yards from this RV 
park, so while wired service could be more reliable for the park tenants, the 
potential for 100 customer wi-fi routers we can't control operating within 
sight of our PMP450 POP sounds like the stuff of nightmares.

We are leaning more towards a wi-fi option due to better control over spectrum, 
as well as avoiding maintenance of 100 outdoor ethernet ports that the 
customers would be plugging into, but we are open to suggestions.

Also, assuming wi-fi is the correct answer, does anyone have any equipment 
recommendations?  The park is about 400' by 900'.  I was looking at either

Re: [AFMUG] 8 mile link

Portable spectrum analyzers only capable of up to around 1600 MHz are also
pretty cheap from Chinese sources now, if you want something that is not a
radio but a general purpose unit you can attach to your own selection of
yagis and dipoles. Would recommend something like this for people doing a
lot of 900 MHz or getting into TVWS bands sub-1GHz.

 Probably worth getting a spectrum analyzer that has 900 in its range,
 and a 900 yagi, before spending the $2700+ on a 450i 900 AP and antenna.

 For the original poster's problem I would try, if possible, moving up
 to 3' dishes on both ends, and ac based radios. And using a 10 MHz channel.
 Might have a better chance of getting a signal like -61 (not -71) and
 through "some" trees.

[AFMUG] Bad surge card symptoms between MT and Rocket

Ultimately I'm wondering if a line replacement is pointless or a good idea.

We had a Rocket that just all of a sudden would negotiate at 10 meg
(instead of 100).  It passed a few kbps but nothing really.  Should be
passing 50+ Meg.

I go to the site and try 100 full static on both sides.  No link.

Replaced card and POE and it started working.

Chugging fine now but I wasn't sure what the collective does.

[AFMUG] Wooden utility poles - when are they no good?

[Steve D]

So, we have a small repeater site on private land, pole goes about 25'
above ground.  I'm a bit leery of its lifespan, it was old looking when we
acquired the site, and that was 10 years ago.  Its got some severe checking
the whole way up, the longest being about 6' and the deepest being 5.5"
deep.

Did a drill test to see what it was like inside.  In ground level it
drilled solid, and using a 18" bit (non-auger) required multiple plunges.
Having drilled many a log (log homes are common) it felt solid.  About 3'
above ground was different though, I was able to drill in 18" in a single
plunge.  Not hollow inside, but definitely soft.

I'm thinking this thing is done and the owner should replace it but I have
no idea at what point these things are considered unsafe.  I'd rather it be
a nice chunk of steel, but the costs of putting up a tower are a tad
exorbitant given what it serves.

Thoughts?

[AFMUG] Epmp vs 450 - DFS events

[Gino A. Villarini]

Anyone noticed that apparently the Epmp radios are less prone to DFS events? Im 
assuming most are false caused by RF interference, but I see way less events on 
Epmp than on 450… Will have to do a side by side study.

Ours died in the first month (3 of them)

We are looking for a better more rigged device

Yep, we use the Powerlink for installs as well.   With that, the
entire install process can be done from the phone, which makes
things very portable and quick.   We use the mAP for tower tech
work.  The only issue we have with the Powerlinks is that they can
be a little fragile, we really have to protect the Ethernet ports
or they break.

We love the bigger Powerlink (wouldn't waste time on the smaller one)

Work trucks have Toughbooks. There are some holes in them and all
kinds of dropped on concrete scuffs.  They still work. We'll
replace them when they get super slow/battery doesn't last a work day.

So far our guys love em. The POE and wireless are built in.
a full charge will last them the whole day.

Very true.   However, we found that if we have to
carry the USB dongle anyway, that carrying the mAP
instead gave us much more freedom and reliability (the
USB dongles seemed a little flaky, if they got pulled
sideways in the port, they didn’t work).   We could
even sit in the truck and work on the equipment
without having to run a cable to cabinet, etc. Or have
two techs connected to the cabinet at the same time.
However, there are lots of ways to skin this cat as
you mention   Probably the biggest thing is that you
can connect to the network using a phone rather than
just an ethernet port based device like a laptop.

USB ethernet fixes that :)

We have been using the Mikrotik mAP in the same
fashion as Steve mentions with some pretty good
results. Put IP addresses on the one interface as
needed and then connect wirelessly. We were
killing EIthernet ports too often due to the
stiffer shielded patch cables and cable runs on
our tower sites. They just put too much pressure
on kinds of Ethernet ports many laptops have. 
Now, it is getting tougher to find a decently thin
laptop with an Ethernet port anyway.

Additionally the techs are doing everything they
can from their phones these days.   Normal Mimosa
installs are entirely phone based.   Our main tech
avoids the laptop like the plague.   We can
firmware update the client radios, configure the
radio, make the customer active in Powercode, etc
all from the phone.   We really only use the
laptop and mAP for tower work now, and much of
that has moved to the phones too.

you want six cables in one hole or 6 holes? 1/2 inch glands is what i use on 
single cables, available at any hardware store, they have like 3/4" thread, so 
the lock nut would affix. Theyre cheaper in bulk than a hardware store, like 6 
for 30 bucks at hardware store or 50 for 100 bucks in bulk online

  If the nipple on the bulkhead connector is not long enough, you can get 
longer nipples at any hardware store (1" though 3 or 4 inches).
