Couldn't find it. Under cable settings is default, standard, and
short. From the manual it looks like default = long cable and it
looks like default is the default.
But I have no idea how to see what mode it is on.

Brian, did you try the long cable setting on that particular

I started with RB 532 on tower. It comes down 265 feet to
poe injector to router. Major packet loss.
2) switched RB 532 out. No change.
3) Created test setup on ground with bad board and it looked fine.
(from laptop--6ft cablepoe265 ft---RB)
4) Blamed it on the cable, and got a cable certifier from a friend.
5) Right before climb, I re did the test setup on the ground. This
time I plugged the 265 feet into the actual router instead of my
laptop. The problen was back. (I was bummed)
6) One final test. Get another 265 foot cable. I used 265ft for
power and 265ft for data to eth 2 or 3. Problem solved. I can only
speculate that the chipset on RB 532 poe port is diffrent from the
chipset on eth 2/3.
And for whatever reason it was not compatable with cable, hardware,
ect.setup.
I may never know for sure why, but I have the workaround. Good
enough for me.
FWIW I ended up pulling 2 new cables (all 3 certified fine). I used
the original cable for data (it has real shield) I used my new 2
(cheapo foil shield) for power and slapped the other into eth3 for
the heck of it.
Lessons learned for next time. Measure cable, crimp, and power up on
ground using the EXACT same everything as what the final deployment
will have. And then test.
Hope that sums it all up.
Ok to directly answer your question. Yes. I did this on the ground
test unit.

Brian,
Just out of interest, did you try running both power and data over
the new
cable and did you still see the same issue?

Subject: Re: [WISPA] MT power supplies THE SOLUTION
First off. I'm back to a 48v 420mA power supply.
To the solution.
I ran another cat5 up the tower and plugged it into the RB 532.
Now I have one cable for poe and one cable for data, and it all
works fine.
And check this. My headache went away as soon as the problem did. :)
Problem solved. NEXT!

Amps don't mean a thing without disclosing Volts, Consider Watts

The mPCI slot (SR5) is 3.3V. Power to the Motherboard is from
12-48V. W=V*A

I am surprised no one has mentioned this. I looked up power
consumption
on the SR5 and it shows 800 to 1300 mA each. You state your power
supply
is 700mA. I did not look up power consumption for the RB532 but I
would
think you would need at least a 3A supply.

So, does anyone know if it looks like I would be fine on the power
side
of things?
I have tweaked the ethernet port settings for no gain.
Next step is to get climbing 280ft to replace board, but I'd like to
confirm power first.

I'm seeing weirdness.
