I think I need to change my final answer. If these were 100 series radios I'd say that seems rather odd that this would cause a failure. BUT... I'm assuming these are 450 radios. With the 450, there's a ethernet transformer on each pair. To DC, this is effectively a short. Or since these are made with very thin wire you could probably more accurately call it a 'fuse'. So if you take a pair and put say the + lead of a 24V power source on one wire in the pair, and the return (-) on the other pair, you'd find that the wire in the transformer would melt, and would probably do so very quickly. This is *exactly* the wiring that the 320/430 radios used. In addition, there is every possibility that the current being drawn before melting is smaller than the amount of current needed by a real 320 or 430 radio on power on. So, when this got plugged in, there's a good chance that you melted the ethernet transformers. The good news is if this is what has happened, it should be a fairly easy fix by almost any electronic repair shop which knows how to rework surface mount boards - just remove the magnetics and replace them.

Re: [AFMUG] Packet flux question
I actually do a very fast, software defined, overcurrent shutdown in the product of interest here. It's been a while since I worked on that code but it will shut down a short circuit in a few ms or so. The software defined part allows some flexibility in the shutdown which is important in that I also have to not shut down for inrush currents. The algorithm is such that if the overcurrent is small it shuts it down slower than a, large one. Roughly, it trips once a certain amount of excessive energy is seen. I'm guessing in this case the amount of energy we let through is more than the windings on the magnetics can handle. If I have time I'll grab a set of magnetics and see if I can characterize this. I'm also surprised that the 100 series radios died as well as they should appear as a dead short to the injector and have no magnetics on those pins to blow up.

Re: [AFMUG] Packet flux question
The 320 and 430 have that crazy +/-/+/- PoE pinout scheme. So that's what the 320/430 SyncInjector puts out. If you had PMP100 or 450 radios plugged into that, I would think the overcurrent protection in the injector would've kicked in, but who knows. If you try to power them up with a regular AC/DC Canopy PoE, does the power LED light up on them? I'm betting not and they'll have to be repaired.

Re: [AFMUG] Packet flux question
I'm not the one to ask on this, but I'd think if you put the wrong power polarity (or the screwy twisted pair power) into a 100 or 450 radio, my thinking is the ethernet/PoE transformer in the radios might be damaged. But again, this probably should've been seen as a short or over-current by the SyncInjector and the port power should've tripped, possibly saving the radios. But you never know until you check them out. Good luck. I hope it wasn't a total loss. On 4/23/2015 8:56 PM, Craig House wrote: I haven't taken them off the tower yet. Brand new tower.

Either way its a 200' climb to replace radios that have never even been in use and likely never will be. Oh well I guess it is supposed to be a nice day. I would rather be at 200' than anywhere else anyway..

So that's what the 320/430 SyncInjector puts out. If you had PMP100 or 450 radios plugged into that, I would think the overcurrent protection in the injector would've kicked in, but who knows. If you try to power them up with a regular AC/DC Canopy PoE, does the power LED light up on them? I'm betting not and they'll have to be repaired.

Oops Both of the injectors were powered by a 24 V 10 amp power supply All of the radios that were plugged into those injectors no longer appear to boot up which wouldn't surprise me if there had been a 56 V power supply or 48 V power supply powering them. However since they were powered by a 24 V power supply how could that have damaged the radios? Sent from my iPhone
