[WISPA] DC Power Systems

2017-05-01 Thread Mark Spring
I am looking at turning up some small DC Power systems and have used Eltek
units in the past. We haven't had any major issues but with the size of
this project, I am trying to review if it warrants a flagship
rectifier/battery string or if there are smaller scale options available.
My requirements are under 5a and if it is going to be setup for batteries,
I would prefer to have a way to monitor the status of them remotely.

Thanks for your input!

Re: [WISPA] Motel WiFi Authentication

Heith,

Do you run those back to your server over a vpn on the tik or is it all
just local? I am planning on doing some unifi work in the near future and
I'm just curious what others have run into when the unifi is not on your
network. My knowledge of unifi is almost none, just trying to come up with
some scenarios that would work best. It seems like others are confirming
what I think you would run into, the unifi server just won't play that well
on site for most installs.

Thanks for your feedback!

 Yeah, I run a UniFi server at my office to drive the 3 HotSpot pay per use

 I've got Tik hotspots set up at a few towers and have setup usermanager for
 a retirement community. You definitely have more control with a Tik box but
 using Unifi with vouchers would be far easier.

 You can still host the Unifi server at your place if they do not keep a
 computer running and they can print out vouchers ahead of time or at the
 time.

 I did a hotel a few months ago using UniFi and MikroTik.
 
 We are running Hotspot service on the MikroTik (RB1100AHx2) and
 UserManager.
 
 For user account creation I put in a HotSpot printer from Technologic. It
 uses API to create user accounts in UserManager so it is very easy for
 clerks to be able to create users for guests. You can set limits for days,
 speed, data transfer, etc.
 
 Itâ EURO (tm)s not cheap, and not the easiest to set up but once it is in it 
 works
 well.
 
 
 
 Check out www.hotspot-printer.com
 
 
 
 Another option, depending on the billing system they use, could be to use
 radius integrated with their billing system to create users.
 
 
 
 Or, you could just enable user manager and the clerk could create users in
 the web interface.
 
 
 
 If you want some more info shoot me an email off list.

 Not sure if I should post to UBNT or Mikrotik. Anyways we have a few
 motels
 that we run the UniFi APs in and they offer free use of the service. Of
 course its all you can eat for anyone across the street from the motel, or
 those who loiter in the parking lots. I havent really stayed in enough
 motels to see how they do them but whatâ EURO (tm)s a way that users can get 
 a
 temp
 username  password when they check in? I havent dinked with it much on
 the
 UniFi. I can see how to do it, kind of, with hotspot on a Mikrotik, but I
 am not sure I would want a desk clerk dinking with the router. I am
 assuming that UniFi would be easier to use for this. Problem I have is
 with
 the few motels using UniFi they hardly ever keep the software running, and
 only turn it on when they need remote help from me. We have something
 similar set up with our ISP billing system for a few campgrounds where
 they
 create their own credential then pay a few, but I had to contract a lot of
 that out due to my inexperience. Maybe I need to look into the Amazon
 solution. Would be cool to run UniFi on a Mikrotik router.
 
 
 
 I also assume with them being authenticated we can track bandwidth hogs
 better. We have quite a few motels that have mostly permanent guests full
 time, people that never leave the room constantly downloading movies. On
 the unifi we could always see who they were by MAC only, but forcing
 someone to log in may help with the abuse.

Re: [WISPA] Selling ISP

2014-03-19 Thread Mark Spring
Outside of financials, gear and how things are running today is going to
have some impact. Everybody buys to increase their user base but if they
are going to change out all the equipment then it holds less value, if they
have to rewire every tower location to get it up to par then you get the
picture. I'm not saying you have either situation but you may take this
into consideration when trying to pin a value on it. The answer in wireless
is it depends, this would be no different.

Best of luck with everything,

Re: [WISPA] 8x8 antenna for ubnt?? pic attached

2014-03-18 Thread Mark Spring
I hadn't heard of a difference in wind-load, but I obviously didn't dig
that far into it. My comparison comes from colocation interference and not
from customer levels.

It can be risky to take feedback from the guy that made the gear(RF Armor)
but he appears to have run the titanium through some real side by side
tests and so far through all the claims he's made online nobody has pegged
him as a liar. So, what I'm saying is that I value his opinion and when we
were faced with a similar situation to confirm his findings I didn't think
there was anything else to question.

Further, We have had good results with the nanobeam on some trouble
customers, making the link more symmetrical and on other trouble customers
no so much. Lots of factors involved, but certainly looks like a promising
product.

Welcoming all knowledge on the P8 platform. I seem to have a few of these
floating around the network as Backhaul and SM gear, did they cap those at
7.3.6? Seems that the SM's are fine to upgrade but the backhaul's will have
no part in it. I'm really just trying to standardize interfaces that our
techs see since there were very slight changes in the 8-9.x series, but
would gladly take any performance/stability increase. Things are well under
way, with the exception of those few p8's hanging around!

Thanks for all the input so far!

 I contacted Cambium support about this recently. The upgrade path the
 technician gave me was this:

 *7.3.6 - 8.2.7 - 9.0 - 9.4.2 - 9.5 - 10.3.2 - 10.5 - 11.0.1 -
 11.2 - 12.1*



 They also indicated that there were timing changes in 10.x and that
 causes some issues with older firmware. They highly recommend to run the
 12.1 firmware whenever possible. We are using 12.1 without any issues so
 far in a couple different cells.

[WISPA] PMP100 Software Revisions

2014-03-11 Thread Mark Spring
Folks,

I am trying to improve the performance of our aging pmp100 platform and
have started upgrading some of the SM's. We noticed one customer having
some side effects after moving them past 9.5 and the AP is still back at
9.5 yet. Can anybody comment on any scenarios where they noticed software
versions that don't play well together? We can upgrade the AP's, but my
main concern was to upgrade some of the 8.2.2, 8.2.7, and 9.0 SM's and get
them to newer software. If anybody knows of any major gotchas on the
process, it would save us some grief!

 We specifically used the word Static in the PTR record because we found

 It helps to include the word static in the PTR record.  At least one RBL
 uses this as a litmus test for whether or not IPs are static vs. dynamic,
 and will add your addresses en masse to their dynamic address block lists.
 That is, if your give static IP addresses.

We are in need of some spare CMM's and I have looked at the packetflux
offering. Does anybody have any feedback on their results dropping one in

The meter/ID approach is a very quick process, the locos or otherwise might
work in a pinch but by no means is effective at saving time. If you were
going on a budget for the ID process you might be able to build your own
dongles with various resistors from pin 1 to pin 8 for instance and when
you hook your multimeter in you know what the reading should be for each
endpoint. i'm sure those meters that you buy are doing the same thing but
i'm not an electrical engineer.

Matt, I like this...for the DIY'rs out there anyways. You could find a dial
switch that has 7 positions(each one goes to pins 1-7 on cat5 and 8 is your
common) and power it with a 9v...put an LED in line that would run off the
9v. Plug it in and spin the dial until you get light. For the right people,
this is a cheap solution that will get them pretty far...for other people,
they might want to stick with the klein tool for $150+, you get a few more
bells and whistles.

[WISPA] Wind Farms

2014-01-31 Thread Mark Spring
We have had a handful of customers inquire about the effects of a wind farm
on their wireless signal. As it turns out, we have a wind farm in part of
our wisp and there is a proposed farm in another portion of our wireless
network. We haven't had any issues of note in the existing market, but it
was not under our operation when the farm was launched, so perhaps there
was a good amount of customer loss but we didn't see it. I see online some
claims about actual interference but not many people believe in
this...beyond physical obstruction anyways.

Polling opinions from anybody that has any experience.

[WISPA] Cable Testers

2014-01-28 Thread Mark Spring
can anybody make any recommendations for cat5/cable testers they have had
good luck with? We had good luck with the testum(jdsu) testers but
apparently they were discontinued. We are looking at the micromapper from
fluke but something with a little more detail might help. Fluke makes
bigger brothers to the micromapper but they are a little more than
economical.

Thanks,

basic wire testing, anything more advanced would be a bonus so we are just
weighing cost options to see if it would be worth the upgrade to get
additional features. Maybe Ubiquiti should develop a meter that replaces
the microscanner2(it looks looks nice) for 1/4 the price...i'd wait two
years for that!

Re: [WISPA] Outlet toner for cat5/6 and/or Coax

2014-01-28 Thread Mark Spring
josh,

the testum unit by jdsu had a model like this(TP600) but didn't do coax. I
don't want to oversimplify this, but I can't imagine why there aren't more
people making units like this...even the ones with more identifiers, I
can't imagine that any of these components are that expensive especially
when building them in bulk

 If it works with coax (RG-6) too, that's fine but not required.

 I used to use something similar back in my satellite tv days, and
 thought it would be really nice to have for some of our indoor wiring
 jobs.

 Warning: If it says Fluke on it, I probably won't buy it. I respect
 their quality, but we don't want to spend 250+ per device for these.

Have you tried setting this up with snmp? I have some of these out in the
field and have fortunately not encountered this problem. It might be worth
a shot to look through the mibs to see what can be accomplished.

[WISPA] Purewave CPE's TR-069 Solutions

2014-01-20 Thread Mark Spring
Are any users out there deploying Purewave access gear and/or TR-069
capable CPE. We have a mix of gemtek and green packet radios connecting
back some purewave base stations. The gemteks give us fits on remote
management via their web interface, especially when we are seeing
interference which is typically when we need/want to get in and make
changes to the scanner. I am looking for a way to provision the gemteks via
dhcp option 43 and so far I haven't gotten the responses I need from gemtek
or purewave.

Any and all relevant input is appreciated.

Thanks,
