Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux Gig Sync injector - 320 wimax. - Jumpers?

With the 320 and 430 you have two options: 1) Buy a 10/100 injector, and re-jumper it. 2) Use a gigabit injector off the shelf with the cable described in the cambium manual. The cable in the cambium manual is the one from a CMM4 to a 450i. Because we use 'normal' pinning on our gigabit injec

Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux Airfiber POE

You're close. The AirFiber came out because I expected it to need more power than the 4 or 8 port port poe could handle. Nowadays it's just a single port version of the gige powerinjector, complete with internal jumpers, minus the sync. On Sep 11, 2017 11:41 AM, "George Skorup" wrote: I wan

[AFMUG] What's next?

We've been shipping rackinjectors for a couple of weeks now, and according to staff, all of the rackinjector backlog has been shipped and we have 1-2 on the shelf and even more to be added to the stock level shortly. Yay! Just wanted to update everyone on the status here for what is next. Th

One thing to check is if you're getting exhaust gases in the radiator. There are kits to test this. On Sep 17, 2017 6:06 PM, "Jaime Solorza" wrote: > My wife bought a 2001 4x4 Chevy S10 Vortec 4.3 from sons wife. We knew it > heated up a little...I replaced water pump, fan clutch, thermostat,

Re: [AFMUG] FM radio colocation interference?

Sometimes even a foot or two of cable length makes a difference. At FM frequencies the wavelength is around 3 meters, so a length change of 1.5m may change a cable from worst case to best case. Plus the positioning and routing of a cable can make lots of difference. It also wouldn't surprise m

Re: [AFMUG] radio specifications... HOW?

Can you give specific examples? Having a hard time understanding for sure the exact specs you're comparing. In relation to the thermal noise floor: just reducing from 1000mz to 200mhz will gain you ~7db of noise floor. But usually that's in a channel, not in the entire 'frequency agility' area

Re: [AFMUG] Speed Tests

There are TCP/IP tuning things you may need to do to get around the bandwidth*delay product. When a TCP/IP session starts up, one of the things which is exchanged is the maximum 'receive window' and 'transmit window'. This is effectively the maximum number of bits which can be in-flight at a giv

I've for a while thinking than an 'unconference' or 'open space conference' or 'barcamp' would be interesting. The WISPA conferences aren't really set up well to handle this type of thing. Ideally you'd end up in a space with a 'common area' and then breakout rooms/areas. The first 20 minutes a

So we have a new (i.e. put into production in the last couple of days) pair of 820C radios.I discovered earlier tonight that XPIC was not enabled on the radios, limiting throughput. In the process of enabling XPIC, we made some changes to the config, rebooted both ends, and now neither end wil
