[WISPA] TrangoLink45 question
I have a 2.2 mile link with clear LOS using TrangoLink45 radios. One direction (MU to RU) maintains a steady 54mbps air rate all the time. The other direction (RU to MU) will work at 54mbps for a while, but always slowly (over about 3-5 minutes) drops to 12mbps. I have tried some other channels and polarities to no success. Does anyone know how to get a log from these units that might show why the link slows down? Any thing I should be checking other than the frequency and polarity? -- Scott Reed Sr. Systems Engineer GAB Midwest 1-800-363-1544 x4000 Cell: 260-273-7239 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] TrangoLink45 question
Swap the radios with each other to see if the problem follows the radio or stays at the location.

Re: [WISPA] TrangoLink45 question
I thought about that, but: That is a lot of downtime for my primary backhaul link That requires 2 climbers, etc. I would like to find some other options before going this route.

Re: [WISPA] TrangoLink45 question
Do a spectrum scan on the RU side of things and see if it is clear. You may have some new interference. Easy enough to check. -Cameron I thought about that, but: That is a lot of downtime for my primary backhaul link That requires 2 climbers, etc. I would like to find some other options before going this route.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL Access Control
2009/11/26 Jeremy Parr jeremyp...@gmail.com:
Before I reinvent the wheel with an Expect script or SNMP query, does
anyone have scripts written for automating bandwidth/MAC allocations
for the VL? It does not support RADIUS, so any automated changes need
to be pushed via telnet or SNMP.
Since there wasn't anything out there, here is what I hacked up...
just set your snmprw community and go.
#!/bin/bash
# Syntax
# alvmac.sh add/remove ip address or hostname mac address with spaces
# Example
# alvmac.sh add 10.254.9.77 00 16 cf b7 9d f7
# SNMP R/W Community
snmprw=private
intent=$1
alvau=$2
let mac[1]=0x$3
let mac[2]=0x$4
let mac[3]=0x$5
let mac[4]=0x$6
let mac[5]=0x$7
let mac[6]=0x$8
if [ $intent == add ] ; then
action=4
fi
if [ $intent == remove ] ; then
action=6
fi
snmpset -c $snmprw -v 1 $alvau
1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.5.10.6.1.2.${mac[1]}.${mac[2]}.${mac[3]}.${mac[4]}.${mac[5]}.${mac[6]}

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL Access Control
We use this for setting up VL radios, including speed. If you want to automate it, just use $1, $2 as command line variables instead of reading in answers from questions. Then you could include it in a loop that cycles through a database generated list. I wish more manufacturers actually knew something about SNMP so we could program all radios this way. Saves a lot of human error. #!/bin/bash echo -e |--| echo -e | pinging radio to check if it is there and is set to factory defaults | echo -e | hit control-C if pinging fails | echo -e |--| ping -n -c 2 10.0.0.1 echo -e |--| echo -e | what will the radio be named? | read UNITNAME echo -e | what IP address will this radio have? | read IP echo -e | This radio will have $IP echo -e | what ESSID will this radio have? | read ESSID echo -e | Speed choice: Type 1 for gold (2 down 1 up), 2 for platinum connectme (3 down 1.5 up), 3 platinum (3 down, 2 up) read SPEED echo -e | Enter the antenna gain read ANTENNA echo -e |--| CM=changeme SP=/usr/bin/snmpset -v1 -r2 -On -c SG=/usr/bin/snmpget -v1 -r2 -On -c GW=`echo $IP|cut -d. -f1-3`.1 echo -e |--| echo -e | Setting up MIR/CIR | echo -e |--| case $SPEED in 1) $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.2.0 i 2000 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.3.0 i 1000 ;; 2) $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.2.0 i 3000 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.3.0 i 1500 ;; 3) $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.2.0 i 3000 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.3.0 i 2000 ;; esac $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.4.0 i 128 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.5.0 i 128 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.6.0 i 1000 echo -e Now setup as: echo -e MirAUtoSU `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.2.0` echo -e MirSUtoAU `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.3.0` echo -e CirAUtoSU `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.4.0` echo -e CirSUtoAU `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.5.0` echo -e MaxDelay `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.7.6.0` echo -e CIR/MIR all setup echo -e |--| echo -e | Setting wireless menu items | echo -e |--| $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.1.1.0 s $ESSID $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.11.1.0 i 2 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.13.1.0 i 2 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.17.0 s $ANTENNA echo -e ESSID `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.1.1.0` echo -e Best AU `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.11.1.0` echo -e ATPC `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.13.1.0` echo -e AntennaGain `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.6.17.0` echo -e Done setting wireless items echo -e |--| echo -e | Setting up management items | echo -e |--| $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.2.3.0 s $UNITNAME $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.2.8.2.0 s alsochangeme $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.2.8.3.0 s changeme $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.4.1.0 a $IP $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.4.2.0 a 255.255.255.0 $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.4.3.0 a $GW echo -e Name`$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.2.3.0` echo -e Inst PW`$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.2.8.2.0` echo -e Admin PW`$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.2.8.3.0` echo -e IP address `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.4.1.0` echo -e Netmask `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.4.2.0` echo -e Gateway `$SG private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.4.3.0` echo -e Done setting up manamgent items echo -e |--| echo -e | Setting up filter and network management | echo -e |--| $SP private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12394.1.1.8.1.0 i 1

On the older 802.11a/b/g devices I see Multicast Rate. But on the Rocket/Bullet/Nano N-series (M series) I don't see Multicast Rate, just Allow all Yup the M's I have do not allow you to set a fixed rate. I should have been clearer in that I meant that the AirMax stuff was different then the AirOS stuff.

I have not heard back about the units. At 130 ea, a Roku with the same features as the low end unit, will be more cost effective. I am still researching about the licensing requirements of securing the data stream for non OTA channels. Jayson Baker wrote: I seem to remember the low-end ones were around $130/ea. Not sure about the others. Price will vary based on where you buy and in what quantity I assume. Remembered that standard 802.11 will only multicast at around 1Mbps. So that's why we were having the problem with the multicast over AirMax equipment.
