[AFMUG] Chain or strap mount pole steps

to allow access on short notice if necessary. I have a plan in my head for a fabricated steel pole step with a chain wrap mount. But i wonder if there is already a product available or any other ideas how to get up there? Thanks Chris Fabien LakeNet LLC

Re: [AFMUG] Dual Band Wifi Routers

If the SSID is the same, the device will choose which AP to associate, just like if two 2.4 APs have same SSID. The logic on how to choose the AP and when to switch to another is device dependant and not always implemented well. We set the SSID different and educate the customer to usually prefer

Re: [AFMUG] generator fuel

Around here the natural gas street mains and services are around 40psi according to the gas company guys who just redid the service to my house and shop. The meter drops it to about 0.5 psi for the appliances. It sounds like maybe not all areas do it that way. Although i don't understand what

of cost when you're looking at a rural area with maybe 10 houses per mile. Just my opinion, worth what you paid for it! Chris Fabien LakeNet LLC On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 11:05 AM, Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: > I would never do direct again. Gopher damage. Doesn’t happen with duc

Mike can you expand on windstream getting rid of their fiber? Im asking because we are considering renewing a circuit with them. On Nov 7, 2016 4:49 PM, "Mike Hammett" wrote: > http://www.telecomramblings.com/2016/11/windstream-earthlink-combine/ > > > Earthlink owns a bunch

Re: [AFMUG] Tips for pulling through existing innerduct

How long is the run? Is this a 3mm indoor fiber or something tougher deaigned for outdoor use? I would be nervous about damaging an indoor fiber trying to pull another past it. On Oct 7, 2016 6:35 PM, "TJ Trout" wrote: > I have a 1-1/4 innerduct with one of my upstream carriers

Re: [AFMUG] oversubscription again

For upstream circuits, we dont upgrade based on a ratio of mbps sold. We upgrade based on utilizaton. we never want to hit over 80%. On Oct 2, 2016 12:38 AM, "That One Guy /sarcasm" wrote: > so, we hit a wall this week with lopsided providers. we hit an approximate >

Re: [AFMUG] How long of a pull can I do?

I think you would have better than 50/50 odds of success. Pulling swivel would be a good idea. Make a poor man's break away by using 1200 pound mule tape and cut about halfway through it. We use that trick whatever we have to pull with a truck.

Re: [AFMUG] Wooden pole twisting

May not be a viable solution with an 11 ghz backhaul, but you could install two radios, once that is on target in summer and one in winter, and switch between them without climbing at least. On Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 11:13 AM, Robert wrote: > When you look at the high

Jaime, what are the options for station radios on B5 multipoint? Can this mode support 2 channels like the B5 PTP? On Aug 14, 2016 10:03 PM, "Jaime Fink" wrote: > Yes, we're starting testing it now on the A5 so we're roughly 2-3 months > to release. > > B5 multipoint GPS sync

Re: [AFMUG] ePMP2000 vs. Mimosa A5 deployments

Seems like part of the question is what signals you are expecting, or to put it another way, what's the typical install distance. The AC products aren't going to give you much benefit if you are planning for installs in the -60s like a "traditional" tower based deployment. On Aug 14, 2016 4:36
