Re: [AFMUG] Ubiquiti PoE Surge Protection?

[Matt Corcoran]

The Blue MOVs are for AC surge protection.   The MTEK transformer isolates the 
Ethernet in and out from each other.  So lighting is more likely to damage this 
transformer in this POE, that the one in the computer or router.Of course a 
big enough jolt could still arc across the connections.

Subject: [AFMUG] Ubiquiti PoE Surge Protection?

I'm working with the Ubiquiti 48V PoE (24W, Gigabit version) for some 
residential installations. Ubiquiti says "they provide earth grounding and 
surge protection".

I'm interested to assess the capability to help know what other surge 
suppression may be necessary vs redundant when used in combination. I've got 
one opened up, and the grounding is obvious... but I don't see anything jumping 
out at me as surge suppression.

Which components are likely doing the surge suppression here?

Re: [AFMUG] battery powered wireless test unit

With the mAmp guage on our pack,  it’s obvious if the path is ‘open’.   We used 
the pigtails off old canopy POEs so the Ethernet doesn’t enter the box.

We also have problems with the not powering anything issue.   It was difficult 
as we never saw with our own eyes, but we think it was combination of the 
ethernet cable being loose enough in the ethernet jack (thus the eventual 
taping the thing in, we’ll try the Gorilla glue you mentioned) and them 
accidentally turning the POE off on the slider switch on the end.   Since we 
have gone over that basic troubleshooting with them we haven’t seen issues, but 
that was fairly recently.

Re: [AFMUG] baicells 2.5 GHz high power and CPE

[Matt Corcoran]

I would definitely say wimax also has a 7db advantage over wifi.   But thanks 
for the article.

At one time we were looking into getting an FCC approval to use Ubiquiti in our 
2.5Ghz Licensed band.After comparing to wimax in a severe non-line-of-site 
scenario we quickly dropped that idea.   With wimax set to the same 26db output 
power as the rocketM2 we could load web pages down to about -86dbm, pings down 
to -90.  With airmax we needed about -74 to reliably load a page.  (remember 
the attenuations was trees not distance, it was only about 1.5 miles from the 
tower and the spectrum was crystal clean.)

We do look forward to trying out LTE none-the-less.

Yep, I know. Could be anything. This signal is very hot though. We've seen baby

And remember, Canopy 900 FSK is listening on an 8MHz wide channel. That's why 
it looks so bad. And like I said, it's obviously overload the receiver. 
Whatever it is, it's more than 36dBm EIRP. And there *are* licensed users in

There's public water meters in town, but it's not usually very chatty. They're 
still on the sleepy meters where they drive around and wake them up to read 
them. And that's on a fixed channel at 915.5.

There's also Commonwealth Edison rolling out smart meters. They're installing

We had a very mild winter and a very early spring. I hope it's not like last 
year all over again. You guys keep all that tornado shit down there. I will 
have no more of it.

What many people do not know is we had massive straight line winds early that 
morning (in addition to other tornadoes) and many parts of our state were 
without power during that huge outbreak.� After the outbreak, we didn't have 
power for nearly a week.
�
Watched some of the early morning coverage recently posted on youtube late last 
night - the last hour or so (really two hours) as the on-air guys were starting 
to get some damage reports in - - their tone really changed

Here is the infamous coverage of the event as it happened...

I was actually out checking on a tower that had been without power since that 
morning as this thing spun up - i almost
drove right into it.�� There is a picture of the sky from about 30 minutes 
before (while i was at that tower) hanging in
our conference room.�� My dad's office shows several damage photos from 
that day.
�
Lots of coverage on youtube - - our state is buzzing about this todayand 
really this week

Re: [AFMUG] Telrad specs

"If" you can get the telnet password for you model Gemtek CPE.   You can run
 CBE::showMacStatsRx (Wimax world for instance: WISX-167)
