Re: [AFMUG] battery powered wireless test unit

With the mAmp guage on our pack,  it’s obvious if the path is ‘open’.   We used 
the pigtails off old canopy POEs so the Ethernet doesn’t enter the box.

We also have problems with the not powering anything issue.   It was difficult 
as we never saw with our own eyes, but we think it was combination of the 
ethernet cable being loose enough in the ethernet jack (thus the eventual 
taping the thing in, we’ll try the Gorilla glue you mentioned) and them 
accidentally turning the POE off on the slider switch on the end.   Since we 
have gone over that basic troubleshooting with them we haven’t seen issues, but 
that was fairly recently.

Sorry, when I say crossover cable,  I am talking about the reversed polarity.   
( I know it is different that the data pairs being reversed, but we never build 
the data crossover cable, so we have started using the crossover term for 
reversing the polarity as the techs have latched on to that term  )

Crossover cable is 100% useless for Cambium.  Unless you're referring to the 
power polarity being reversed (those are two different things)?

Force180/200 will accept normal power just like Ubnt.  This is what we use for 
the most part.  The only hassle is a wrong cable (denoted with electrical tape) 
for Force 110 or integrated epmp.

Re: [AFMUG] battery powered wireless test unit

2017-05-12 Thread David Coudron 
We have the same issue with the Ethernet ports.   We piggybacked off the 
Ethernet port with a cable that was more permanently held into the Ethernet 
port with tape and it goes to an affixed external Ethernet port.   We can still 
use crossover cables for Cambium and straight through for Ubiquiti and Mimosa.

Thanks,

5ghz and 3.65ghz SM's but with 2.4ghz SM's someimtes I get weird self
interference issues from the wifi on the powerlink with the radio.
Linktests on 450 and FSK equipment can be squirrely.
