Re: [AFMUG] Epmp vs 450 - DFS events

[Darren Shea]

I’ll vouch for Sean’s experience on these – we also had to roll back a bunch of 
DFS 15.1-15.1.3 APs to 15.0.2 to deal with a ridiculous level of false radar 
detections. I haven’t yet tried 15.1.5 on any of those, but there wasn’t any 
indication they dealt with that in release notes.

15.0.2 is the least finicky with DFS.  above that cambium changed the code to 
be more restrictive to meet new FCC rules (or something like that)

Re: [AFMUG] Remote generator start options packetflux?

[Darren Shea]

Well, I certainly understand that cheap and flexible tend to be opposites, 
which is why I would think the best way to do what I suggested would be to make 
the module a pricier option, not a default. A multi-purpose tool has the 
potential to be more useful to a wider range of people than something which is 
practically a uni-tasker. Having to shut off all the APs on a RackInjector to 
replace one is not fun – having to perform surgery on a deployed RackInjector 
while 7 fully-functional APs have to be shut off during the process is even 
less so.

 

Even as an internal add-on card with a bunch of cables to each of the jumper 
blocks could be a major factor in deciding how to build-out a new site. 
Front-swappable might also work (maybe each card could be in a drawer-like 
setting with a front-accessible screw or two to lock it down most of the time) 
if we’re keeping the jumpers for cost. Just brainstorming…

Do you want PacketFlux injectors to cost what CMMs and CTMs do? No. And neither

We've done several radio swaps year after year. I take a spare 
SyncInjector/PowerInjector/RackInjector/whatever and swap it.

Yes, it would have been cool to see the cards for the RackInjector be easily 
front swappable like storage on a server. Again, complexity and cost.

Solar Charge controller monitor.  Or a RackInjector controller.  The key point 
here is that the DeviceManager codebase is designed largely to hide all of this 
from the end-user, while making it easy for us to build these products quickly.

 

Now, back to the main point:  This same flexible architecture permits us to 
also build various automated control systems on top of the same underlying 
architecture.  If you replace the fixed-function devicemanager interface with a 
programmable, scriptable, flexible interface, all sorts of things start to 
happen.   Including all of the items we're discussing in this thread.   We 
already sell all of the physical interfaces needed to get a generator 
controller running - you can plug a unregulated power supply into a voltage 
input to get a rough idea of the AC voltage, or can get the DC voltage using 
another voltage input.   You have contact closures in the form of another 
sitemonitor expansion module.   And so on.   What is missing is some sort of 
on-site automation, and that's where we've been heading with this entire 
architecture for about 2 years now.

 

I don't know how quickly this is going to happen.   The next 30 days I'm

Mike,

 

On a Windows system, you’d find the ODBC config in “Windows Administrative 
Tools” -> ODBC Data Sources (32-bit). Look in the System DSN tab.

 

When I install the client, one of the earliest steps in the installation is 
configuring the server access – there is a Test Database Connection step that 
will tell you if the client machine can successfully connect to the database. 
If that’s good, then you should be fine.

 

When you launch the client software, does it ask which database you want to 
use, or does it go to the Platypus window with the Login dialog box?

Re: [AFMUG] PMP450 SMs resetting to Factory Defaults? Anyone?

[Darren Shea]

The SNMP reset lines result from a script which sends a reboot to radios under 
certain conditions, but this script does not correlate to the resetting (that 
is, it happened before the script was deployed, and on APs where the script is 
deployed, it has happened on just a tiny handful of radios which hadn't been 
rebooted by that script in over a week). The reboot command is just an snmpset 
to the .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.3.3.2.0 OID aimed at the SM through the AP. If 
that is triggering the resets, then there is a bigger problem than we realized!

[AFMUG] PMP450 SMs resetting to Factory Defaults? Anyone?

[Darren Shea]

Just wondering, if this is a problem which only bedevils me, or if other
people are seeing it:

 

PMP450 SMs, running 15.0 or later f/w (it's a question right now whether the
AP f/w is related to this, but it seems that the APs are usually running
13.2 f/w)

 

The symptom is the SM throws a bunch of "Deleting a timer since it was
active" errors, then some other errors, then it resets to factory defaults
and reboots (see below for typical Event log snippet). Sometimes, the radio
loses calibration data. Because we run our configurations as close as
possible to default in the first place, we can typically access the radio
via ICC and reconfigure it appropriately without a truck. However, and this
is a huge deal, some of these radios that had 10M keys are now reverting to
4M keys! This is going to cause us major headaches.

 

I have opened lines of communication with Cambium about this, but they are
giving me their standard "we haven't heard about this" response which is
always their default up until they admit it's a problem and start to resolve
it.  Have any of you encountered these issues?

 

Typical Event Log snippet:

Re: [AFMUG] what kind of device would this be?

[Darren Shea]

The 0a-00-3e-9c-fc-xx units were connectorized SMs with P10 boards. We'd
sold them off back in the middle of 2010, so I'd guess probably a 2008-2009
manufacture date. We'd mostly abandoned the 900 MHz equipment by that point,
so it would have been one of the last boxes of SM we ever bought.

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Vulnerability Published

[Darren Shea]

Odd. The post says we should be running 3.4-RC7 or later, but 3.4 Final was
released a few days ago, and the release notes don't seem to mention this
vulnerability.

 

I may be missing something, but the concern seems to be about the fact that
the platform responds to SMNP get and set commands, and the default
community strings are shockingly insecure. I'm not sure if there's much more
to it than that.

The worst part of any of this is that IOT devices IE(ip cameras,dvrs, tempature

We did a basic Netstat this weekend and discovered a traffic anomaly. So we 
went to a professional and had them run a packet sniffer. We had verification 
of foreign code, likely for as long as 6-8 weeks.

It will be layer 3 in this case but its too early to tell whether this codes 
payload will be TCP or UDP, we will be monitoring as the code replicates. This 
is a pretty common virus, as a matter of fact we have all had it at one point, 
probably so long ago we dont even remember. We anticipate The fully formed

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium 450M

I got 10 of the Lapp 52015810 units from Newark for 4.22 each – way better than

AFAIK, the Cambium OEM cable gland is a specialty item produced by Lapp for 
Cambium. It doesn't even say Skintop on it. So it's not surprising that they're 
$30 a piece and only come in 10 packs. Ask your reseller. They might even have 
to order them for you.

An alternative, since I've had to order some for 450i aux ports, is the Lapp 
52015810. It has the short base threads and rubber gasket, but not the flared 
body above the base like the OEM version. But it works perfectly fine at about 
1/2 the price and you can get them from Allied, Mouser, Newark, etc. One nice 
thing about this particular model (6-13mm) is that you can fit an RJ-45 through 
rubber gland insert.

disabling the extraneous user accounts did not. 

 

It certainly would be much simpler if it gave a GUI-type access to build a

The 450m uses "Cambium Sync" and I still don't know what the hell that is.
AFAIK, that's only the CMM5 so far. Last Mile Gear might support it, I don't
remember.

That said, I know Sean has said that his 450m's are powered and receiving
traditional Canopy Sync from a PacketFlux PowerInjector+Sync. Problem with
that is, you're interrupting power (the sync pulse) while trying to run a
70W load (the 450m). Forrest said he's working on new stuff to support
Cambium Sync.

Probably the best option right now is a SyncBox Junior Aux. Or a UGPS.
Enable UGPS power on the Aux port in the radio, plug it in and go. Power the
radio with whatever. GigE-POE-APC and a 56VDC/2A supply. A
PowerInjector+Sync. Or Forrest's 4-port or 8-port GigE injector boards. Or
hell, even his single-port GigE injector. Anything that support 4-pair

"their team".

 

By labeling people, you apply blanket ideas to them and put them in this little

I think of that when people immediately identify someone as left or right, 
Democrat or Republican, Shia or Sunni.  As if their faces were painted a 
certain way so you can immediately tell.  And once you know their political 
party or religious sect, that’s all you need to know.  TV is that way, if they 
are interviewing someone, the most important thing is to have a graphic that 
tells you if they are a D or R.  It’s like a sporting event, you need to know 
what team someone is on, and then can cheer or boo accordingly.

 

Our political parties take themselves way too seriously, they seem to believe 
people are born either D or R and that party owns them.  The parties don’t seem 
capable of running capable candidates for office and governing well in order to 
earn votes.  But when they eek out an election victory, they proclaim it a 
landslide and believe they have a mandate.  Rather than accept that voters 
hated the other guys a little more.  This time.

 

It’s kind of ironic with Trump and Putin in the news, neither of whom really 
care about ideology, it’s all about power and personality.  Yet we still want 
it to be a story about left vs right, my party vs your party.

"The Sweden Democrats, however, remain isolated in the Riksdag because the

"The Sweden Democrats believe that the current Swedish

Hi,

I've never yet done a licensed link and there is plenty of these two
frequencies available in my area. I need to be able to get 500Mbps at about
15 miles. Is that possible with either of these?

What kind of real world speeds can I expect out of these and what channel
size do I need to license to get those speeds? 

Is there something else I should consider? What brand/model radios and
dishes, what other frequencies for easier licensing, etc? 

It would be great to be able to get a gig that distance, but I'm trying to
be realistic and get just what I really need to start with. 

No legal advice please, just your experience with it and any knowledge you'd
be able/willing to share with the licensing of these frequencies.

2. Set all new APs to the same color code as the omni. Grab a snapshot of 
all connected SMs from the omni

3. Reboot all SM’s (Perl script using SNMP and proxy IP), while at the same 
time turning on the transmit on the new sectors, and off on the omni

4. Make sure (after a reasonable time) that each SM has registered (with a 
good signal level, of course), if so…

5. Under the assumption that each SM has chosen the best AP available, 
program the appropriate new color code into each of the SMs connected to each 
sector (another perl script using SNMP and the proxy IP).

6. After double-checking everything, set the new sector color codes and 
reboot all simultaneously

7. Verify all SMs are registered, and you’re done!

I think you could add secondary and tertiary color codes to the AP’s, then just 
go through the SM’s and change their CC to whatever works best for them.

 

I seem to recall doing that often years ago, but not sure if there is an easier 
way other than manually.

 

I know JAB had written a very nice platform to do something like this with

AP

 

Hi Gang,

 

due to historical reasons that are no longer valid we currently have 1 color 
code assigned to all APs per tower.  I'd like to move to 1 color code per AP.  
However, this would require first gathering all the data from the SMs as to 
which AP is their best, which is second best and which is third best (we often 
have multiple APs aimed in almost the same direction).  We have hundreds of APs 
and thousands of SMs so having a monkey log into each SM and log this data 
would probably take a couple lifetimes haha.

 

Before I go hire someone to write some scripts and create a database to get 
this project going, I was wondering if any of you have already done this and if 
you have any software tools you'd be willing to share/sell.

 

Also if anyone else is thinking of doing this would you want to go in on the 
development together? (if no one else has accomplished this)

 

thanks,

 

-Sean

Re: [AFMUG] AP Sector Alignment

Honestly, we just pull up Google Earth, draw a line from the tower with the 
proper heading and look for landmarks against which to aim for sectors and 
coarse adjustment of BHs. I don’t know if it’s any more accurate, but it’s 
definitely on the same cost plane as standing in a field.

Re: [AFMUG] OT - Adios, Most Interesting Man In The World

[Darren Shea]

The German Beer Purity Law calls for 4 ingredients in beer: Malted barley, 
yeast, hops, and water. Different barleys impart different flavors (for 
instance, stouts are often made with roasted barley), different yeast strains 
can affect the flavor, and the hops have a huge effect on the flavor, based on 
the varieties and quantities used, as well as where in the process they are 
added. There are also differences between ales and lagers, which are fermented 
differently.

 

IPAs (Inda Pale Ales) are made with a lot of hops, which gives the beer certain 
characteristics, including a hardiness for long voyages, but they do add a 
level of bitterness and aromas - my wife says they taste “perfume-y” to her. 
Brown ales, on the other hand, usually have a very mild hop level and a 
stronger malt flavor. Most stouts are light on hops, or have just enough for a 
good balance against the malt, and the Irish varieties will be very popular in 
a week!

Yep, pretty much anything you mentioned.  Anything which will work with a 
passive power injector.   Notable exceptions:  Cambium 320/430 radios (oddly 
pinned power not compatible with a true gigabit radio), and other radios which 
try to do everything across the eight pairs and end up breaking compatibility 
as a result - for instance some of the high end microwave radios which don't do 
true PoE but instead rely on their own special injector which does everything 
under the sun.

 

ETA:  Depends on how many projects we can juggle at once.   The next 30 days or 
so are consumed with Wispamerica and trying to get the new 4 port injector 
released to production.   After that happens, we're going to try to 
simultaneously work on both this project and the 12 port version of the 'din 
mountable' injector.   Assuming that works well, we're looking at probably 
around 90 days (from now) for both the 12 port and the rackmount unit.  But, 
this all can slip if we need to spin a board.

Well, it looks like it might actually be finally happening. 

 

We are about 98% sure we have a rackmount enclosure manufacturer which we can 
work with. Domestic.  Product looks decent.  Price is right.

 

Which means it's time to nail down a few details here, such as number of ports, 
so I can get some enclosures cut and boards made and hopefully get this 
elephant out of the room  

 

 So I need some input:

 

The rough figures I'm working with here is $800 for a 18 port rackmount power 
injector.  Voltage and pinning jumper selectable per port. Per-port control of 
power and sync.  Probably some redundant power and other things built in, but 
I'm still nailing those details down (a lot of it comes down to space on the 
front panel of the enclosure).

 

PLEASE NOTE:  The prices here are soft - until I get the design completed I 
won't know what I can sell this for - as many of  you know I try to price 
things at a fair price as opposed to what the market will bear.

 

The main questions I have for the list are:

 

Is 18 the correct number of ports?   18 is looking like about the most I can 
fit based on front panel dimensions.  This corresponds to 3 blocks of 6 ports 
(if you lose a port and need to replace it, you'd replace 6 at a time).   

 

Other options are 16 (4 blocks of 4), and pretty much any smaller quantities of 
ports which are divisible by 4 or 6.   

 

I guess what I'm really asking here is whether the 18 port version for $800 is 
the only version of this I should make or carry, or does it make sense to sell 
(as an example) an 8 port version for $400 instead of or in addition to this?

Re: [AFMUG] Poor throughput on ePMP AP

[Darren Shea]

We had seen some issues with ePMP customers on high-speed plans getting poor 
speedtest results - we found that changing the customer's router's MTU from 
Auto to 1480 helped immensely. Another factor was to make sure that all 
backhauls in the path were running at full connection speed (in other words, a 
backhaul whose Ethernet port can run at 1000M should be running at 1000M, even 
if the traffic never approaches 100M) all the way out to the internet.

Subject: [AFMUG] Poor throughput on ePMP AP

Sp I have an issue. Tower is a 4 sector ePMP setup and two backhauls.  We are 
seeing poor throughput when connected to the APs (all of them). Signals are 
great. Quality and capacity are great.  When going through the AP we are 
consistently seeing 4-5 megs of download out to a known speedtest server.  If 
we plug into the same wired port on which the AP, which gave us the poor 
throughput, we can max out the 100 meg uplink. Issue only happens when going 
through the wireless.   Here is what I know:


1.APs are set to 75/25.  SM can do a link test and get 50meg x 12meg on the 
link test.  So RF is good.  Isolated AP to where only one client was on.  Same 
great results.

2.Firmware does not seem to be a factor.  Can reproduce this on 2.6.1, 2.5.1, 
and 2.4.3.

3.Have replaced POE injectors 3 times with different manufactures.

4.Does not matter if it is DHCP or PPPoE. Hard wired is fine.  Wireless stinks.


The AP is plugged into a POE which then plugs into a Mikrotik 2011.  If I plug 
into the same exact port the aps plug into speeds are great. The only thing 
that is left is patch cable to POE, Cable to AP, or AP.  I refuse to think 6 
cables on the tower do the exact same thing.  The odds for that are Powerball 
winning crazy. Speediest from a laptop hooked to an SM to the 2011 are poor.  
4-5 megs consistent with spikes up to 10-13, but all over the place.  Acts like 
negotiation.  Have set Mikrotik to Auto, to 100 meg full, only accepted 100 meg 
on auto.

Customers who have 5 meg packages or below don’t see this.  Those with 10 meg 
packages are the ones seeing 4-5 meg speeds. 10 meg packages did work.

Clients are mainly at 2.6.1, but we can reproduce this with a 2.5 and 2.4.x 
SMs. Nothign has changed in the network, which tests out just fine up to the 
point it gets handed off to the ePMP.

Anyone ran into this? Any thoughts?

[Darren Shea]

Isn’t most of the appeal of a Crock-Pot/Slow Cooker the fact you do NOT need to 
micro-manage it? I put in the pot roast and veggies (or a batch of chili, or a 
pork shoulder), turn the thing on and let it do its thing for 4-6 hours, and I 
have yummy food.

 

I don’t want an SNMP-enabled Crock-Pot I have to monitor on MRTG!

I would not buy a 7720. If it's not listed on Procera's website under 
'Products', it's EOL and they may not even license it anymore. Without 
licensing, it's essentially worthless.

What I would do is contact a Procera reseller first, let them know what you're 
looking at, and they can generate a quote for you to license/support it. It may 
be cheaper than buying a new one if it's an expensive chassis, but I doubt you 
would save much in this particular case, and you may end up with an unusable 
chassis.

[AFMUG] Useful IP addresses for netflow analysis

[Darren Shea]

I have tried repeatedly to Google this, but I can't seem to find what I'm
looking for (or can't seem to find the right keywords):

I'd like to see if anyone has a list of IP addresses used by the big CDNs,
Netflix pipes, Microsoft and Apple updater systems, major email providers,
etc. ManageEngine's Netflow Analyzer comes with a small handful, but it's
not very extensive, and manually finding and associating IP addresses and
ranges to appropriate groups for meaningful data collection is both tedious
and imprecise. Is there a list of this sort to be found anywhere?

we are off by 9-10 dB and are too low.   This explains the questions raised at

Darren -

We'll take a look but the external gain for 450D is locked because that is the 
property of the HW with the attached dish and radome.  This is not changeable 
intentionally.  

The internal HW of the 450d is actually an integrated 450SM in a new housing, 
so there actually is some internal gain via the 9dBi patch antenna, so that 
would account for the  difference.  So TxPower + internal patch gain + external 
dish gain <= EIRP would mean -4 is our max TxPower for 5.4 FCC to stay <= 30 dB 
EIRP.
  
However, we will take a look - there was some feedback at Wispapalooza that 
some customers were having issues installing these in 5.4G band, but the tx 
power should be correct.

although it's not new to 14.1.1 (I think it started in 13.4):  the Power 
Control section on the Configuration -> Radio, External Gain setting is no 
longer adjustable, and is locked in at 25dB. OK, but the radio seems to be 
thinking it's got some sort of additional gain, because it won't transmit 
higher than -5dB (reported in Link Status). Shouldn't the EIRP in the DFS band 
be 30dB, so it could transmit as high as 5 dB? This seems to be causing a major 
connectivity issue in the 5.4 band, but not in the 5.7 band, where transmit

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy 13.4 Watchdog Reset

[Darren Shea]

Does the 13.4.1 release fix the RADIUS bug that was allowing SMs to connect to 
the AP but not be assigned a VC? We ran into a showstopper bug with 13.3 where 
the SMs became inaccessible to our techs as soon as they connected to an AP, 
and the 13.4 release had the above problem, which was hitting several 
customers, and some kept having the problem even after the SM was rebooted, so 
we had to revert to 13.2 for stability.

 

I have been in communication with Cambium support for these issues, but it’s 
getting frustrating that each release which they want me to deploy because it 
MAY fix the random AP reboot problem comes with a brand-new bug which is 
equally annoying if not worse. 

 

It’s like a medicine ad on TV: Have you asked your doctor if Vunderpill is 
right for you? It may reduce the severity of flare-ups of heartburn. Possible 
side effects include jimmy leg, droopy face, thoughts of suicide, head

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium 450 and ePMP with Packet Flux Gear

Forrest,

Cambium has admitted there is a problem with GPS sync over power dropping 
for no reason on the ePMP APs with some software versions, and it is a 
cross-platform problem. It doesn’t seem to be any worse on our PacketFlux gear 
than it is on the LMG CTM-2M – and we only see this on ePMP, never with PMP 
100, 320, 430, or 450. Luckily, we did deploy the puck antennas on all of those 
AP’s, and they seem to work just fine with the built-in sync. Cambium is 
expecting to fix it in a future software release.

I'll let others speak to the stability (as a couple already have).

A few months ago there was an issue with a mutual customer of mine and 
cambium's which was having sync problems with an epmp radio.   To date, I don't 
know if the problem was with the epmp, or with the injector, or with a gps 
lock, or whatever.   I can't say that sync is a perfect thing - from time 
to time, gps modules act weird, injectors don't inject, and AP's don't work 
right - no matter which product you have.  When sync does bad things, it 
behaves badly.  For all I know, in this case my product *might* have been at 
fault.  Or not.  It's not important for the rest of the story

In any case, somehow this problem morphed into a statement that somehow the 
SyncInjectors had some sort of systemic issue which lots of wisps were 
experiencing.   I was not particularly amused by this, particularly since I had 
no communication from cambium at all in relation to this After some back 
and forth with my internal contact at cambium I was informed that a) that they 
were tracking some *potential* issue with external sync (usually with a 
syncinjector) on the ePMP and b) that they hadn't had the time to figure out if 
it was packetflux-specific or a general issue yet, and that if they determined 
it was related to my product they'd contact me back.  So far, no call back, and 
I haven't heard any more similar complaints - and I've had interactions with a 
lot of people who use this regularly with ePMP with no known issues.  I also 
haven't seen anything sync-related in the release notes since that time.

Re: [AFMUG] Comcast vs. HBO Go on PS4?

The only thing in the article which undermines that reading of the facts is 
this line: “Roku eventually got approval last December, but Sony devices are

That implies that Comcast customers are allowed to use the HBOGo service, but 
only with certain, pre-approved by Comcast, clients. That might run afoul of 
the new Net Neutrality rules, especially if the protocols, ports and bitrates 
are identical, regardless of of the client used. 

 

It’s one thing for a cable provider (like Time Warner) to refuse to participate 
in an unrelated network’s non-broadcast offerings (like the Disney Channel 
app), it may be another for the provider to say people running the app on an 
iPhone can use it, but people using the Windows Phone version cannot. We’re in

Based just on a quick Google search (so I could be mistaken), this appears to

“Get unlimited access to all your favorite HBO® shows, hit movies, sports, 
comedy and more, plus bonus features and behind-the-scenes extras. It’s all 
free with your HBO subscription through participating television providers and

In other words, it’s exactly the same as complaining that a WISP doesn’t “give” 
its customers ESPN3.

 

HBO Go appears not to be an OTT service with individual subscriptions.  It 
appears to be an extra, Internet based service that comes only with HBO from a 
cable provider.  So the complaint appears to be that Comcast has not offered 
HBO Go to its cable customers who have HBO.  It seems to me that is different 
from “blocking” HBO Go to your Internet customers, as the article claims.

seems to be stable, and appears to be less likely to make your customers call 
you complaining, “the Internet is down!”

Any advantges to using sync Injectors or Cmm for epmp or is the puck just as 
good ?

Most everyone here has been in this business long enough to see the pattern
of bandwidth consumption.  It seems obvious to me that consumers as well as
product developers can easily consume as much internet as you can provide.
Why not? As long as developers can make money and consumers are having fun
this cycle will continue forever.  Introduce a cost factor and the process
will regulate it's self.  Imagine a municipal water system with no usage
fee.  Developers would create, among other things, hydroelectric generators
for your faucet.  Attach these devices, turn the water on full blast, and
power you're appliances at the water utilities expense. Water consumption
would go thru the roof and you could fire the power company.  How is that
different than having your ISP deliver Video content so you can fire your
Cable or Satellite Company.

Re: [AFMUG] System Release 13.2 is Official

[Darren Shea via Af]

Wow, that makes perfect sense! I had a ticket open with Cambium on this issue 
for two APs, and I decided yesterday to see if 13.2 (Build 40) made any 
difference, and it resolved the problem, so I closed the case. I knew the 
antennas were connected properly, so that explanation never occurred to me! 
Luckily, our APs with 430 SMs have the correct polarity, so I should be able to 
set those APs to SISO Interop Mode (which isn’t documented in the new release 
notes – I’ve already pointed that out on the forum) to get a bit better beacon 
power.

I guess I get to talk about this now. Some of the new A/B (minus FSK, connector 
anyway) 5GHz APs were built with the internal jumpers reversed. We put up some 
new sectors and noticed the beacon power was very weak.. because it was on 
horizontal, not vertical! This is bad for 430 interop, and obviously just as 
bad for 450 pre-13.2.. weak beacon, interference.. no worky.

So yeah, now the beacon is on both polarities. And if you have an AP with 
reversed jumpers + 430 SMs, you'll have to use MIMO-A 430 interop mode (which I 
believe is now the default) instead of SISO. Obviously with MIMO you get 3dB 
less beacon power, and for 450 it doesn't matter, for 430 it might depending on 
noise levels, etc.

Shit happens.

PMP 450 AP

22943 CPY-9983, CPY-9631 

Fixed problem when AP/SM has crossed RF cables and would not register

This problem has been resolved in System Release 13.2.

We released 13.2 this morning officially.  Come to our forum to discuss 
anything about it.

Thanks to all of you that Beta tested this software with us, and helped to make 
it stronger and better than ever.  Now that this is here, we’re hard at work on 
delivering the next round of enhancements (code name 13.3 (pretty original, 
huh?)) which are right around the corner.

 

The momentum is building on the PMP 450 platform.  

 

Thanks again,

[AFMUG] Speedtest replacements?

[Darren Shea via Af]

We currently host our own speedtest server using Ookla's speedtest technology, 
but Ookla is discontinuing the version we run, and
the licensing fees for the new version are very steep. I'm looking at 
alternatives, such as OpenSpeedTest and speed.io, but would
like to get some feedback on these if anyone is using them. 

We once tried using Brandon Checkett's Fancy Speed Test, but the results 
display was not really in line with what we wanted.

Does anyone hosting their own, non-Ookla, speedtest server have some success 
stories or horror stories about particular packages?

  
Thank you,
  Darren

Re: [AFMUG] Speedtest replacements?

[Darren Shea via Af]

The current version we use is a basic SpeedTest interface, and Ookla stores the 
results in a database, so we can review all the results for a particular IP 
address (great for those pesky “my speedtest results always suck” customers) – 
that was costing us $500/year. The other advantage is that we give our 
Speedtest server URL to our customers, and they don’t see ads, including ads 
for rival ISPs.

 

In the now-typical cycle, Ookla has decided to discontinue support for this 
popular product, and are trying to move us to their new NetGauge product, which 
is nearly $2000 for the yearly license, and another $1000 for one-time 
setup/customization/branding, which they offer to waive if we renew. I don’t 
need all the new features, and don’t want to spend 4 times as much for them…

So, what are the licensing costs?  Is this for private use or does it also cost 
to run a public speedtest.net server?

Us too.  Same story with Ookla.  Like their interface, but their prices are too
