Re: [AFMUG] building our own 48volt DC sites grid tied.

[Brandon Yuchasz]

Thanks Chuck.

We expect depending on which site to have between a 3 amp and 5 amp load. Have 
not settled on the Ah of batteries yet just getting started on this.

Any telecom charger/rectifier will last for 20 years easy.

What kind of load amps do you need to run?  How big are the batts?

 

Your rectifier needs to be able to pull the full load current plus the heavy 
battery recharge current when the power comes back on.  Having one that limits 
current is good.  Say you have a 5 amp load current and a 100 Ah battery, you 
are going to have a minimum of 10 amps of battery charge current after an 
outage.  Probably more like 20.  So a 25 amp rectifier to run a 5 amp load plus 
batts would not be out of question.  

 

I like eltek/valere modular units.

After finally diving into our first 48 volt solar site last year we are now 
looking to convert some of our more critical sites to 48 volt battery banks 
that are still grid tied for charging the systems.  The plan being to extend 
the run time on the sites when we lose power.  Would anyone that is doing this 
type of system be willing to share some sources for the chargers that have 
stood the test of time in your network?  I am seeing these sites as 4 12 volt 
deep cycles ( or if room allows 8 – 6 volt ) this battery bank will feed new 
Packetflux Rack injectors, and the battery banks will be kept topped off by the 
charge controller. 

 

Thanks everyone,

 

Brandon

Kevin

Sounds similar to what we are looking to do. Any additional equipment in place 
to alert you if the site goes to battery or you hit a certain level of % of 
Battery? It would be nice to get an alert if the battery bank hit 50% just not 
sure what could be used for that application.

I have a site where we have been co-locating with a 800w FM Transmitter 
for years.  We've always had Ethernet problems at the site since the FM 
went in.  Everything is shielded cat5 (Belden 7919).  It is at a grain 
elevator, our equipment is on one corner of the platform, and the FM 
Transmitter is on the other corner.  We are horizontally separated by 
about 10 feet.  There is no way to get vertical separation.  I used to 
run all the cables down to the bottom of the leg, about 100'.  In an 
effort to make the Ethernet work better, I installed an Edgepoint fed 
with Fiber at the top, so cable lengths between the radios and the 
Edgepoint are now 5'-10'. With the FM Transmitter turned off, everything 
runs perfectly.  When the FM is turned on, most equipment drops to 
100mb, and some goes down to 10mb.  On the most problematic equipment, I 
have installed the 4 pair FM Filters from Sandman  
http://www.sandman.com/rf.html within 12" of both the switch and the 
radio.  It made no change.

What FM Elimination tricks have I forgotten to try?  I was really 
expecting the short cable lengths to solve the problem.

[AFMUG] Hughes 9202 BGAN Terminal for remote VPN access.

[Brandon Yuchasz]

Borg,

We discussed this a while back but I didn't have specifics back then so I am
bringing it back to the list for another round.

In august I am taking a backpack, self-guided, alpine Sitka blacktail deer
hunting trip in SE Alaska with my son and good friend. 

The basics are we are dropped off an sea level on a float plane and we are
hiking up to the alpine around 300 feet ( so low for alpine). Completely on
our own for 8 days. 

Everything we have will be on our back. So weight is a large concern. 

I am the geek at the company. They can handle basic help desk, and fixing
and installing customers without me. But if an AP dies or a backhaul drops
things will be difficult without me to troubleshoot. I have decided I will
need the ability to get online and VPN in.

Basic needs, will be winbox, webbrowser ( log into an AP) and other basics.
Nothing heavy.

 

I will have an garmin inreach for texting and emailing communication. 

 

I will carry my laptop and an extra battery or may buy something lighter if
I can find an acceptable unit.

 

What I need help with is the Satellite terminal unit.

I am considering two models. 

Hughes 9202 BGAN Terminal and the Huges 9211 BGAN Terminal.  The 9202 is
lighter by about a pound. That matters a lot to me. I will be carrying an
extra battery for whatever unit I decide on. Both units tell me I will get
IP broadband speeds up to 464 kbps. I can live with that if I get those
speeds and can VPN through it and work through pings, winbox and the gui on
cambium backhauls and APs. 

 

I know I need to be able to get clear skies to the south I can deal with
that. What I don't know is are these connections stable can I depend on it
to work at close to speeds advertised? 

 

I have a test unit scheduled to be shipped to me next week to try but wanted
to find out if anyone has used one of these units for similar work?

 

Best Regards.

Brandon Yuchasz

Re: [AFMUG] Verizon hotspot - for access to towersite?

Tim,

All I have found for an option through Verizon was a 500 dollar one time setup 
charge through their business sales team to setup the static and then a monthly 
charge of around 50$. 

ATT has a new business plan for 55$ a month comes with a static and 3mbps 
download “unlimited”.

How did you go about getting the 4$ static from Verizon? Was it a business 
account or a personal?

I haven't had a problem with getting SIM cards from VZ for devices. I 
usually just take whatever it is to a store and say "I need a SIM for 
this thing". They mull around a bit longer than if you brought them a

[AFMUG] Verizon hotspot - for access to towersite?

[Brandon Yuchasz]

So those of you using Verizon hotspot type connections as a secondary
connection point for your towers. What is it called? Is it  a static IP that
you can just VPN into?

We are looking for a simple solution to VPN into a tower site if the
backhauls ( or something else drops off line). 

Just wondering what it is I want to ask Verizon for when I call up to place
the order. What are you all using? Does it have a static and Ethernet port
to plug into our router?

 

Thanks,

Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik Poe In 29.5v?

[Brandon Yuchasz]

So to follow up on this post and answer my own question. Yes the RB1100AHx2
will not run on 29.5v. It did not power up when I tried and it appears it
also did not damage it which is nice. I went to the site today and powered
it up with 24v power supply swapped in place of the 29.5v. 

 

My original reason for wanting the 29.5v power supply was to be sure the
ePMP 1000 units would activate the heater in cold winter and boot if powered
off for any amount of time. I realized over the weekend they were being
powered on the 48v side of things so I didn't need to worry about it and
could step down to 24v for the backhauls, and old FSK, and mikrotik without
an issue.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

1100AHx2?

 

If you're exceeding the voltage rating of some component in the router, it
may fail over time not immediately.  On the other hand, Mikrotik may have
come up with the 28 volt number with 24 volt battery voltage in mind, not
because their circuitry can't handle 30 volts.

 

What is generating your 29.5 volts?  Is it a power supply with a voltage
adjustment that you could crank down to 28 volts?  Is the 29.5 volts for
some Cambium APs?  They would probably be fine with 28 volts.  I guess it
depends how critical this tower is, and whether you  have a spare router on
hand in case the extra 1.5 volts actually does damage it.

 

I used to be an EE designing products, and I would not have designed
something so close to the published specs that 105% of spec would cause
damage.  But we live in different times, now it's more like 90% of spec is
good enough, so you never know.  But my guess would be the 28 volt number
came from marketing and doesn't necessarily mean the router can't handle 30
volts.  You could take this logic to an extreme, though.  Maybe it can
handle 32 volts.  What about 48 volts?  Or 60 volts?  Let's crank up the
voltage and see what happens.  I remember I got confused at a tower with a
mix of 450 and 450i APs when we were replacing equipment after a lightning
storm, and powered a 450 AP with 48 volts.  Everything ran fine.  For about
2 days, at which point the AP was toast.

Yes it's the discontinued model RB2011AHx2.  I did some testing last night
with a slightly different model and it ran just fine on the 29.5v. Obviously
the Ahx2 has slightly lower specs so I am going to have to go to the site to
figure out testing. I'm powering it with the Rackmount unit from Packetflux
so I have the option of adding a third power supply at 24 volts and powering
the routers with it but I would prefer not to have a third power supply as
its just something else to fail.

I am walking out to the truck to grab some parts and do some living room

the RB2011 AHX2 run on 29.5v poe or does it have to be 24v? I'm fairly sure
based on my work earlier today the 29.5v is to much.

There was a bug that caused it to hang way back in the day (when the Force 200

think it was some quick reset.

There's a known bug in 3.5.1 that's semi-resolved in 3.5.2 relating to this, 
but it is not 100% fixed from what I'm told.  Upgrade to 3.5.2 and when there's 
a new release you'll want to upgrade when you can.

I had one of the original web power switches back in 2005 - that thing was 
junk.  I have one of their newer PoE units, and it hasn't had any issues, so 
they have evidently ironed out some of the problems.  Point taken though.

reboot the web power switch which also rebooted everything plugged into it.
Which made it worse than useless, we would have been better off just
plugging everything directly into AC power and driving there to reboot
devices.

I guess my view is, with so many other choices, why buy one that gave us
such trouble at one point?

We have moved over to the Pros now and these are holding up well.

[AFMUG] Mean Well NDR 120-24 & NDR 120-48 for powering Packetflux Rack Injector?

[Brandon Yuchasz]

Last night I replaced yet another Amazon special 29.5V power supply that was
feeding out packetflux equipment. These are defiantly a weak link and
something I need to pull out of the field and replace. 

I spent some time today digging into the MeanWell product line and came up
with two options to power our original Packetflux sites along with the ones
now running the rack injectors. 

 

I need but 28V DC and 48V DC at sites feed from 120VAC

 

I am considering going with the Mean Well NDR 120-24 and Mean Well NDR
120-48 units. Does anyone have experience with these good or bad? Just
looking for something that more stable and reliable at this point.

 

Thanks,

Brandon

And if I recall you can push a config in cnMaestro to enable it across all 
devices as well.  You'll want to edit the JSON appropriately but I think it's:

UserParameters->networkconfig->"defaultIPAccessEnable": 0 for off, 1 for on.

 

(Pretty sure that's it - recommend you test for yourself unless others can 
confirm.  Thats just my notes from however long ago.)

[AFMUG] Cloud based phone system.

[Brandon Yuchasz]

We are looking for a cloud based phone system that is fairly simple.  We
have a legacy phone number that can't be ported. The phone company is to
small and won't / cant / isn't required to? Port numbers over to other
carriers. So what we would like to do is forward that number to a phone
system that will pick up with an automated message based on the time of the
day. Hello you reached us during normal business hours for billing press 1
tech support press two and so on. Depending on what selection they pick we
would like it forwarded to the correct persons office phone or cell. In the
case of the tech support I could see it rolling a few numbers before going
back to voicemail and taking a message. After hours we would want billing to
go to a voicemail that emails out to the correct person(s) tech support
would be similar. 

 

Anyone using something like this with a company that has a long track record
of good service with you?

 

Thanks,

Last I tried it was on iOS a few years ago.  You could have it upload all 
photos and videos automatically, or you could select individual items to 
upload.  I figured the automatic thing would be ideal because it would make the 
photo documentation brainless.

Manually selecting things to upload would work as long as you're ok with it NOT 
being brainless.

I’ll admit I haven’t configured my phone for Dropbox, so I don’t know if it 
works the same on Android or iOS.

 

Note that Dropbox also lets you sign into your account on the web and has nice 
features like being able to access Word and Excel files even if you don’t have 
that software on the computer you are using.  Again, I haven’t tried that on my

The nice thing about dropbox is that even if you are in a no cell coverage area 
it will upload automatically as soon as you are (if you have it set to do that

around. You can install the app on more than one computer and sign in with that

Multiple redundant copies that way. You can also share the folders to other

protect yourself from future CAF overbuilds.

occupants were wearing seat belts and walked away with just bumps and 
scratches.  Didn't even go to the hospital.  It's odd that back when I was a 
kid, and they were talking about making a mandatory seat belt law, there were 
lots of people up in arms over it.  One of the common reasons I heard was "If 
you're in a rollover, you're better off being ejected."  Ummm... no.

 

People who don't wear seat belts are either stupid or suicidal.

 

Incidentally, they're still looking for the U-Haul driver, who didn't even 
stop.  They're assuming he was unaware of what was going on to the side and 
behind him.  In addition to wearing your seat belt, always be sure to check

driver didn't check his mirror.  The pickup veered off the road to avoid the 
U-Haul hitting it.  Problem was the shoulder was about three feet wide, and 
then a 30 foot embankment.  The pickup flipped a number of times and ended up 
on the roof.  There were five people in the pickup.  Two in front, and three in 
back.  All three in the back seat were without seat belts.  All three were 
ejected.  Two were life-flighted and the third was killed.  Front seat 
occupants were wearing seat belts and walked away with just bumps and 
scratches.  Didn't even go to the hospital.  It's odd that back when I was a 
kid, and they were talking about making a mandatory seat belt law, there were 
lots of people up in arms over it.  One of the common reasons I heard was "If 
you're in a rollover, you're better off being ejected."  Ummm... no.

 

People who don't wear seat belts are either stupid or suicidal.

 

Incidentally, they're still looking for the U-Haul driver, who didn't even 
stop.  They're assuming he was unaware of what was going on to the side and 
behind him.  In addition to wearing your seat belt, always be sure to check 
your mirror before you pull out to pass.

Supervising the use of a large Vermeer Rock Wheel yesterday, heard a noise from 
the street, looked over and saw a minivan airborne.  Rotating in all possible 
axes (axes is the proper plural of axis, I actually looked it up).Watching 
for people to come flying out of the vehicle, I was dialing 911 while trying to 
cross a very busy street.  Van came to a rest on its side.  A man and his 
daughter came climbing out the back window.  

 

Superficial scratches.  Shaken up, but largely unharmed.  They had mounted the 
curb and hit a fire hydrant.  The hydrant came to rest half way from where it 
was originally and where the car came to rest.  

 

Quite a scene normally seen in movies.  End over end, spinning and rolling.  It 
must have been 6’ off the ground when I first saw it.  

I feared the worst.  For a time I was an EMT when I was young.  Glad to have 
had the training, did not like being an EMT.

 

I would say seat belts saved them from certain critical injury and most likely 
death.  

 

Hope everyone always wears their seat belts.

[AFMUG] Cambium auto contention slots in a FSK / 450i colocation situation.

[Brandon Yuchasz]

Anyone running the new firmware on their 450 platform with auto contention
slots enabled in a colocation situation with FSK?

 

I have read through the limited info on the cambium site and it appears that
it's possible to do it but you still need to use the colocation calculator
and make sure your timing is not stepping on each other.

 

For example right now my 450i AP is set to 


Channel Bandwidth

7


Max Range (mi)

14


Dowlink Data

78%


Contention slots

8


Frame length (ms)

5

 

My FSK 900 is set to 


Channel Bandwidth

8


Max Range (mi)

14


Downlink Data

75%


Contention Slots

4


Frame length (ms)

5

 

This checks out as Okay.

 

Would I then just turn on the auto contention slots but leave all this info
the same and if so is it not going to run up past the amount of contention
slots I specified anyway to keep from screwing up the timing? If so why
bother with auto?

 

 

Thanks

I believe the answer is yes.  You can use the same Cambium 65W AC powered
POE with both, and I believe we have powered PTP820S with +56V at a DC site
using Chuck's CAT6-POE-APC inserters using a standard 802.3 powering scheme
on all 4 pairs.

 

I would not however assume that the internal designs are the same between
PTP820 and PMP450 because they are both from Cambium, the PTP820 is actually
a Ceragon design.

I feel your pain. We have had this issue on and off with the 450i 900mhz 
platform. I just lost another one this weekend as well. I was able to get the 
customers onto another AP but its now severely congested. I thought the cold 
weather failures were behind me on this platform. I don’t have any spares to 
send you unfortunately but I have always had good luck getting them overnighted 
from Mike at ISP supplies. Ill paste his contact info for you. How old were 
your 4 AP’s by the way? I still don’t know if this is an issue with a batch of 
APs or platform wide issue.

Hi All,

 

We had four APs on four towers spanning about 20 miles fail this morning.  No 
storms, just really cold Wisconsin temperatures.  Found this:

I have only one spare on the shelf and need to get three more ASAP.  We weren’t 
investing in this platform anymore due to smart meters and a rising noise floor 
so it pains me to purchase three new APs to get my customers up and running.

 

If anyone has these used or surplus and is looking to offload some, I’m very 
interested.  I’ll need them shipped overnight service (can use our UPS account) 
on Monday so we get them Tuesday.

None of the dishes are interchangeable.  I'd guess the radomes aren't 
interchangeable, but I could certainly be wrong.

 

I think if you're looking for heavy loaded sites you'd be better off with a 
connectorized model and 2' parabolic+

Me Josh?

 

I've got a PTP Force425 up between a 4 story building and a tiny little Rohn 
SSV about 4 miles away.  It was a Force 200-25.  Signal is great, only noise is 
us, etc.  We get 12.5 b/hz.  So 20 MHz is 250 mbps.  I can ramp that up to 500 
mbps for 40 MHz and, while I haven't tried it, upwards of 1gbps in 80 MHz.

 

Hardware is wonderful, we get the perfected Force 200 hardware back.  The only 
complaint I have is we're switching to 48v.  So far an AC site it's just a 
minor inconvenience but for a DC without a 48v bus you're going to need a 
solution.

 

It's a great product.  It's Cambium.  Not sure what else there is to say - buy 
them, hang them, move on to the next install.

us, etc.  We get 12.5 b/hz.  So 20 MHz is 250 mbps.  I can ramp that up to 500 
mbps for 40 MHz and, while I haven't tried it, upwards of 1gbps in 80 MHz.

 

Hardware is wonderful, we get the perfected Force 200 hardware back.  The only 
complaint I have is we're switching to 48v.  So far an AC site it's just a 
minor inconvenience but for a DC without a 48v bus you're going to need a 
solution.

 

It's a great product.  It's Cambium.  Not sure what else there is to say - buy 
them, hang them, move on to the next install.

Hi Josh;

I am not sure if it is you that Cambium was referring to in their 
Webinar introducing the new ePMP Force 400 series PTP, but if it is, can 
you speak about the performance and any other experiences with 
reference  in regards to this.

Or if anyone else have experiences so far with this new series.

Thanks,


Lincs

[AFMUG] Looking for feedback on the Airspan LTE in 3ghz

[Brandon Yuchasz]

I was off the list for a few months so I apologize if this was discussed
recently and I missed it.

Looking for feedback from WISPs using the Airspan LTE in 3ghz ideally from
WISPs that were / are 900mhz and 2.4ghz in tree covered environments. We
evolved out of FSK 900 into 2.4 ePMP and 450i 900mhz and have grown
substantially and can continue to grow using these platforms but are looking
for something we can deploy 25/3 on and use for additional growth where we
have exhausted the available spectrum in the other frequencies.  I would
also be interested in hearing how you handle tech support calls on the LTE.
We have in house support and CnMaestro has been a good solution for first
level to check basic connectivity and signal levels before digging in deeper
to the issues. I suspect the LTE interface won't be quite as easy and will
have a learning curve.

Thanks,

Brandon
