Re: [Ubnt_users] [WISPA Members] What in the world could be causing this?

2014-12-22 Thread Jay Brussels
The UBNT Connector is gold plated and your connectors are probably tin
plated.  Make sure you are using real CAT5/CAT6 connectors, not the cheap
stuff from China.  If the pins are not gold plated you will have galvanic
corrosion at the contact points and this will exhibit exactly what you are
describing.

 

We use the EZ-RJ45 shielded connector with external ground from
Techtoolsupply.  There are expensive but very easy for the techs in the
field to get a perfect installation every time.  We wrap the ground wire
around the external grounding point.  

 

We also use dielectric grease on all outside connection as we have a high
level of salt in the air near the beach.

I've only worked with gel filled cable a couple times... dealing with the
mess didn't seem worth it, if it doesn't even work, it certainly isn't worth
it.

What he's describing is exactly what it looks like when you get water in a
cable though, pins 4/5 almost always appear burnt. It can happen with any
kind of cable if it gets nicked or sliced... although, I guess it shouldn't
happen with gel filled...

But anyways, i have come across about 6 customers who have a fried/burnt

happened on cabling with and without the ESD drain wire, has happened both
on gel-filled and non gel-filled cable, Has happened while plugged directly
in wall power and on surge protectors. Has happened on Rockets and
Nanostations. However, all were using the UBNT 24VDC/1A PoE injectors.

Any ideas?

Re: [Ubnt_users] XW firmware on Nanostation 5M Locos?

2014-11-10 Thread Jay Brussels
According to the OpenWrt site:

 

old boards (XM) use the ar724x chip while new ones (XW) are using the ar934x 
chip.

I think you need a certain firmware for XM - XW WDS to work.

the NS5ML has the newer, faster, processor.

So then, what version of firmware is needed on my XM AP's to talk with XW 
clients?

Are there limits on XM AP's talking to mixed XM, XW and legacy 4.02 clients?

I'm pretty sure the XW Locos/NanoStations and Rockets already support DFS... 
it's just the NanoBeam/PowerBeam that doesn't.

We haven't received any XW locos/nanos/nanobridges/rockets yet, except for 
RocketM5-Ti XW's.

Our nanobeams that we have as CPEs are working just fine with RocketM5 APs. No 
low rates, good ccq, no WDS problems. Running 5.5.9 on the nanobeams, and 5.5.8 
or 5.5.10 on the RocketM5's.
