Yes, we need to be able to charge per bit, because we have alot content providers riding on our pipe selling things to our clients. I have noticed they are less and less talking to the ISP's whose bandwidth it is that they are using. We don't need another war on the list about this either, it

[WISPA] Trango reboot incident

Guys, this morning around 4:40 eastern, we had an odd incident occur. We had about 3 SUs reboot at the same time and then re-register. I checked each of the SUs and according to the uptime they all rebooted. This wouldn’t seem odd to me if it was just these 3 SUs as they are associated

I have seen when a UPS goes into a Fault during the transfer, it is enough to reboot a device because the transfer was too slow. I have also seen when the power company Powers-Up for the day, because of the morning rush, cause an over-voltage on the UPS and causes it to fault. If you put these

What kind of battery backup? If it's not an AVR (automatic voltage regulating) UPS, then I'd guess you had a power spike. I've seen spikes reboot radios if when those radios were connected to dumb UPS's. - Larry - Original Message - From: Don Annas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

Guys, this is attributed the a power outage. I will check on the UPS units to verify what is out there. Then units we had were pretty inexpensive and they must not have the AVR as Larry suggested. At any rate, this happened again just a big ago for 8 minutes and we confirmed it was a power

Here I would stress the use of SNMP smart cards in UPS systems. They don't add that much cost to a site, and you get paid back the first time something like this happens due to the notification features. I just got notified a few days ago that a system of mine has batteries that have failed.

Hm.. My understanding is that 400mw radios are generally not FCC compliant.If that is the case, then there are a lot of telcos that have been selling non-compliant equipment in the form of those DSL modems that they sell to their customers. Just a thought. Matt Larsen

400mw into a rubber duck (usually almost no gain) is probably fine. There are plenty of radios that are certified at 400 mw. Unless the rubber duck is 10 dB, I think you are fine. One that comes to mind is the Tropos 5210 mesh node. It even has 2 7.4 dBi antennas on it. It's ERP is supposedly 4
