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.

  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?

Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable

2015-05-10 Thread Jeremy
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.

   The install instructions for it also mention a battery test, but like
 the other BCM units there's minimal information on how the test operates. I
 asked Traco for more information on the test it does. Maybe it's the same
 process as the TLB-BC I mentioned earlier today, just not documented as
 such.

 If that's the case, the BCMU seems like a slam dunk.

  Am I understanding that unit correctly?  It has a step-up converter from
 the battery, so unlike the BCM-12/24/48, the output will always be
 regulated 24 or 48 volts, not battery voltage?  Also that it only needs a
 12V battery?  And can work with any DC power supply since unlike the BCM it
 doesn’t control the power supply output voltage?

 My reaction is 60W is kind of low, plus I can use 3 different sizes of TSP
 from 90 to 360W with the same BCM or alone as just a power supply or add
 the BCM later.  And if it fails, I only have to replace the failed unit.
 And if the BCM fails, the site can run on just the TSP if I don’t have a
 spare.  And there is a 48V version of the BCM.  So it seems more flexible.

 It's not all that big, but may be good for repeater sites. Seems to be
 about the same cost for a bigger power supply and regular BCM as this guy,

 week off of their 450 platform and we are constantly told that the
 difference is night and day better on our network.  Careful spectrum
 management and proper AP loading wins over sync every time.

Re: [AFMUG] Customer equipment

We may offer a bit of assistance at the time of the install, or once over
the phone, depending on how busy we are.  From then on it is not our
problem, but we are willing to come out and check it out for $44.95 for the
first hour and $39.95 for each additional hour.  These are the lowest
service rates around though, so they occasionally take us up on it.

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

2015-05-16 Thread Jeremy
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.  Plus, skate shoes have no ankle
support.  I always prefer boots, as you can lace them up high and you're
less likely to roll an ankle.

 When you're talking about a $100 end-user price, a $30 1GB SD card seems
 excessive - and probably isn't even possible if I want to meet the $100
 price with some margin.

  So, I'm currently playing the 'what options do I have' game.   I hate to
 ship a product only rated down to -25C/-13F, but I know for at least a

Re: [AFMUG] Where do you buy AGM batteries

2015-04-15 Thread Jeremy
Actually, it was Energizer batteries at Sam's club (they are actually
Johnson Controls batteries).  The exact same AGM battery is also now sold
at AutoZone (branded Autozone).  It is about $20-30 more per battery though.

  I think an 8D is something like 275 Ah.  I have some sites with 2 of
 those in series.  And some with 8 x 100 Ah.

 I have a fair number of NEMA boxes with strings of 26 or 33 Ah batteries
 in the bottom, one 48 VDC site has four 33 Ah in series for about 1600 watt
 hours.  That can be over a day of runtime depending on what you’re powering.

Re: [AFMUG] Fall protection for rooftop

 Maybe one of those retractable fall protection things anchored to the

Re: [AFMUG] Electrical - Grounding question - long run

We usually put a breaker at the tower and then put in our own ground at the
tower and bond it to electrical ground.  No idea if this is the right way
to do it but you definitely don't want your only ground to be 200' away,
right?

 Amperage is irrelevant, well, unless it's larger than the gauge I
 recommended. It's not an inside-home outlet, but bonding the ground between
 the electrical service and the equipment\tower. You don't want your tower
 ground to be better than your electrical service ground and have a surge
 decide the best path is through the electric (+ or neutral) and thus your
 equipment.

  Your ground should be at least 4 gauge, maybe even larger than that. One
 of the 0/x gauges is in my mind for some reason. That should bond the
 electrical ground with all tower and equipment grounds.

 *Subject: *[AFMUG] Electrical - Grounding question - long run

  In my continued disposition of acknowledging that I am not a electrical
 grounding expert, I lay out this scenario for review, a new tower we just
 built.



 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

[AFMUG] SSL Intermdiate cert - Android CA invalid

2015-04-15 Thread Jeremy
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?

 Okay, maybe not that extreme, but anyway...

 To put things in perspective, if you were to talk to anybody who works at

 JAB is literally the size, speaking purely by number of customers, that
 many ISPs have in a few mile radius.

 I understand that they cover a fairly large area, and that some

 But yeah, 250,000-350,000 sub's to many ISPs is a tiny drop in the bucket.

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.

 So, with that in mind.. does the UBNT GigE PoE stuff use all 4 pairs

 flip the blues and browns at one end. I don't know what that would do

+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.  The boxes we build are modular, and can
be changed, upgraded, and expanded with very little work.

 If I remember right, the AF5x pinout is 1/2  4/5 positive and 3/6  7/8
 negative.

 Airmax stuff is all 4/5 positive and 7/8 negative, I imagine the 10/100

 So, with that in mind.. does the UBNT GigE PoE stuff use all 4 pairs
 for power? If it's 4, 5, 7  8, it may be possible, but... you'd have
 to
 flip the blues and browns at one end. I don't know what that would do

 the GigE data interface though. It might not work. You can use a 568B

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?
Anyone?  Or was it just that both polarities couldn't be the same DFS freq?

For the cost I prefer using midsections as well.  So long as you have them
in gravel and not in concrete at the base they work fine.  That din rail

Seems to me like that should work.  I don't know if it would afford you any
protection (Chuck?), but it should power them up.  For what I spent on our
link I decided to just run fiber instead.  The buildout cost was minor
compared to the link, and we ran MTP so we can now do up to 6 links with
very little work.

 The jack shields and the grounding strip is not tied to the negative input.

I also mastic then tape the SMA connectors.  I bought a network that had
been running for 8 years though with none of them sealed and they all
worked fine.  I still sealed them.  I like that the rubber boot keeps the
mastic off of the threads and nut.  It makes for a cleaner removal when you
cut it off.  I still don't trust it enough to not seal it.  The only
connectors I trust unsealed are the ones inside of those KP performance
boxes on the back of the sector antennas.  Those boxes are watertight.

 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.

 While the current supply has it’s issues (hard to plug into a power strip)
 it’s simple to troubleshoot over the phone with a customer with limited

Re: [AFMUG] EPMP 10 mhz vs 20mhz

I think he is talking about using 40MHz channels on the older M series,
that didn't have gig ports.  It was my understanding that the processor
would get taxed as well on a 40MHz channel, making 30MHz actually work
better.

 I'm not that familiar with the ePMP's yet but I can tell you some things

 bandwidth that that Atheros chipset.  For example, 40MHz channels rarely
 hit their theoretical maximum due to a variety of factors, noise, lower
 s/n, processor limitations, etc...  Second, 20MHz channels seem to be the
 sweet spot but even with GPS sync, you have to deal with reflections.
 Third, 10MHz channels have more overhead as a percentage of total capacity
 and don't handle a lot of users well (above 40 for example with the older
 400MHz chipsets. I'm starting to deploy XW radios with the 520MHz
 processors but everything is 20MHz now so I don't have a comparison).  We
 did see peaks of 32Mbps with some customers on 10MHz channels but that's

 It's right between Lindon and Park City if you go through Provo Canyon.
 Parts of it get over 500ft high and you can really get going fast on it.

 Timpanogos Cave National Monument is very cool, but requires reservations
 a couple weeks in advance and a pretty good hike with amazing views to get
 to it, but is well worth it.

 Deer Creek Reservoir is close to Park City and has on-site rentals of

 If you want to go a less strenuous route, but still want some amazing
 views, the aerial tram at Snowbird is very enjoyable.

 Park City Resort has a few fun activities including their alpine slide.
 Their zipline is nothing compared to the one at Sundance though.

 The company you are consulting for should have a SMARTnet contract with
 Cisco.

 If they don't then place a call to Cisco and they will sell you a contract
 via a reseller.

 If the firmware has a security issue then Cisco will usually allow you to
 download a patched IOS file version.

 In my former life I had a very small and cheap Cisco device on SMARTnet.
 As long as I had a log in I could download all the firmware I wanted for
 any Cisco device.

 That’s OK, supposedly LightSquared has lined up Ivan Seidenberg as their
 new chairman ex-bankruptcy, as well as $1.25 billion in financing.

 I suppose by chairman they mean chairman of the board, not CEO?  I
 thought Seidenberg was smarter than your average Baby Bell CEO, but what’s
 he doing with this zombie that refuses to stay dead?

 Who was that?



 I think Brett and Dean went over? Did Dean leave?



 They tried to head hunt me for that position in 2013, but I was under
 non-compete with the sale of Rapidwave.



 Instead they got Roger Timmerman.



 https://www.linkedin.com/in/rogertimmerman



 It’s a joke, right?



 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.



 Makes me laugh.



 But I hear he’s making  at Vivint, so I guess who’s the one laughing?

 Haha, funny you mention that! Their recently former COO is now one of my
 customers. He was the Chief Ops Officer specifically for Vivint Wireless.

 Vivint is also relaying through their internal/half-duplex routers to
 avoid putting antennas on the roof.  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.

 I have several customers on 3.65 links, so vivint doesn't interfere with
 their signal. 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.

  Vivint is kind of the worst of every idea.  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

Re: [AFMUG] Tower Cameras

2015-07-06 Thread Jeremy
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.

 What is the best and most cost effective camera to use mounted on a

 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.  Took
 batteries, cut power cables, etc.



 Any suggestions would be appreciated.
