Re: [AFMUG] another grounding scenario ??
The electricians that I have spoken with say bond to existing power ground and then pound another rod right at your connection. That is what we've always done. On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 7:01 PM, Paul McCall pa...@pdmnet.net wrote: We are doing a new tower. Here’s the layout Customer house (Building “A”) has a small building (Building “B” for discussion purposes) about 150 feet away from main house. “B” has a sub-panel and 5 live breakers for various things. There is a 6 gauge ground wire between “B” and the Customer house. “B” connects to another “tack / feeding house” (Building “C”) about 60 feet away with another subpanel running off “B” using a 8 gauge ground wire between those two panels. Neither “B” nor “C” has a ground rod, so they are relying on ground that is ultimately, going back to the Customers house. Our tower box is going to be 200 feet away from Building “C” and because of practicalities, going back to “B” instead is not possible even if we thought that was best. So, I am running 4 gauge wire as our ground from our box to “C” but am concerned about making sure the ground is handled from that point on. An electrician on-site said that each building should actually have its own “local ground” (his simple answer was “drive a ground rod”) . The question I have is does that make sense as a complete (best solution)… making sure that Panel “C” is well grounded (and “B” too just for good measure) ?? In the single source ground concept, is his suggestion still make the best sense? Paul Paul McCall, Pres.

Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable
I put conduit and breakout boxes up every tower / silo / grain elevator. It has been awesome. I run a ton of extra cables and two or three extra mule tape to each box as well. When the extra cables get used it is cake to pull a new one, and then I leave the 2nd mule tape in the box and pull it back through the next time, so there is always one in there. Also, when it comes time to run fiber to every AP (hey, one can always dream) it will be super easy. I can't imagine ever building out any other way now. I started out using grey pvc conduit, but have since graduated to shielded liqui-tite. The pvc conduit, male adapters, and boxes ran about $100 per site. The shielded 1 1/2 liqui-tite runs about $400-600 per site. On Sun, May 10, 2015 at 5:42 PM, Jay Weekley par...@cyberbroadband.net wrote: That's what happens to my Dad's peach trees.

Re: [AFMUG] Customer equipment
After reading this I got looking around just discovered that there is an AirPort configuration utility for Android. That will make things easier on our installs if it works. I usually have to use the customer's Mac to help them get setup. The issue is that the AirPort is not user friendly, and many of the people who use Macs do not know how to use the AirPort utility and configure the router. Apple products are a PITA.

Re: [AFMUG] epmp lockups
I've only had one 2.4 lockup and it was definitely an Ethernet issue. It would primarily happen in rain (probably a damaged cable somewhere). I tried replacing ends and that didn't change it. One night it wouldn't come back (it would usually go down and come back up within a couple minutes) so I forced the switch to 10FDX. That seemed to work for a week or so. Yesterday we got rain again and that AP went down again so I went and ran a new line and replaced the AP. Now all is good.

Re: [AFMUG] Installer roof boots
Skate shoes work pretty well for gripping the shingles, as the gravel is a lot like grip tape. However, they have soft soles and the ladder rungs kill your feet after a day or so.

We installed a new tower, approximately 200ft. from the service panel that feeds it. We will be on our own breaker (kinda irrelevant here). In the past, we had run 10 gauge wire (x3) out to the tower with 110vac. Voltage drop is relatively negligible, certainly within the bounds of working properly to drive our 24v charger for the battery array. I was told, by a grounding “expert” that all my equipment electrical grounds need to homerun to a bus bar that ride the ground back to the service panel directly, that nothing else is acceptable. AND, and this is the big part… that I needed to seriously upgrade the 200ft. ground wire only that rides back to the panel to something significantly bigger. How much bigger I am not sure. So, I figured I would ask the crowd for an answer J Thanks! Paul McCall, Pres.

[AFMUG] SSL Intermdiate cert - Android CA invalid
We are using Godaddy and have the cert and intermediate cert installed. All of the online SSL checking tools show everything as normal. However, Android will not accept the cert as valid. I have read that it is because their SSL stack is thinner and doesn't follow the chain through the intermediate cert in order to verify the CA. Has anyone else dealt with this and found a resolution?

Re: [AFMUG] SSL Intermdiate cert - Android CA invalid
So the common documentation on installing certs in Apache mentions the three places in the .conf file where you need to call out the certs. However, in Powercode there are three more places where the key and all three certs need called out down lower in the ssl.conf file for each of the ports (444,446,447). This resolved the issue.

I have recommended that Powercode update their knowledge base to include this information.

+1! I use them on every site that we have. I have powered AF, AF5X, Trango licensed BHs, Gigabit Nanobeams, non-GB UBNT radios, cameras, you name it! My favorite part about these is when I upgrade a radio from 10/100 to Gb all I have to do is add a jumper.

Re: [AFMUG] loving these AF5X's so far!
It was talked about that you absolutely need to set your antenna gain exactly for DFS to work. I think they also mentioned that you couldn't use DFS freqs for both polarities without getting detections. So I believe one freq would have to be non-DFS and one DFS. Did I catch that correctly?

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium discontinuing the traditional wall wart power supply
I thought everyone stopped using those years ago. I didn't even realize that they still made them. They aren't grounded and provide no path to ground for the radio. I just make sure that I explain to each customer that the 'POE' side provides power to the radio, and anything else that you plugin to it will be permanently fried. I haven't had anyone do that yet.

The replacement part is a Ubiquiti or ePMP brick style. It costs more, does not include the power cord, and requires an additional CAT5 jumper cable.

They got the guy who worked on the failed iProvo Fiber project, that then went to become CTO of the (arguably) failed Utopia Utah fiber project and put him in charge of a (arguably) failure of a wireless system.

That was their original idea. They are finding out that most people need outdoor installations. For some reason, 5GHz with 256QAM doesn’t penetrated outside walls and vegetation. That’s a handy piece of information to have when you are planning to spend tens of millions of dollars.

But I had one of these customers call me a week ago and tell me they are having massive buffer issues. When I went to check it out I saw that Vivint had put up a hub home right next door. My customer said it went up two days before and that is when they started having their issue. So Vivint is causing so much interference in the 5GHz area that people's home routers aren't even working. I gave her a 2.4GHz router and she is happy now. So, even if you get the 50Mb to your Vivint device, you won't be able to use it over your wireless network in 5GHz.

They spend a boatload on licensed spectrum, an excessive amount on backhaul radios and co-location costs, all of which requires a high-density of users. Then they deploy a non-TDMA mesh protocol so that when the density starts to increase, they cause their own interference. The 5GHz technology they are deploying can’t support the density they need to make this profitable. Then when connections don’t work, they deploy hacked together flat-panels to make the connection which then causes problems for other users because the flat-panel is too directional. I’m really not sure who is designing this but it reminds me of the EarthLink mesh deployments. What I can’t figure out is how that design gets past a technical and financial review. This is a

Re: [AFMUG] Tower Cameras
We have been using the gen2 UniFi cameras and have been really happy with them, for the price. I am still waiting for a weatherproof version of the dome camera though, as the angle of view isn't quite wide enough, and they really only work for watching the road in. Plus, the current dome has a strange mounting systme that really only works indoors for ceiling tiles.

Wondering if it is on the tower itself, how well it would see someone approaching. I thought about mounting some cameras some distance away with a zoom at the tower box. We had vandalism/theft at a remote tower over the weekend, 2nd time that it has happened. This time in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.
