Re: [WISPA] does water ruin antennas?

2008-08-19 Thread Marlon K. Schafer
Yeah, use wireless!

OK, other than that, there is a device that basically drills a horizontal 
hole in the ground.  Or it'll push conduit through the ground.

Out here it's called pushing a line.  Not sure what the real term is for the 
device that does the drilling/pushing.

[WISPA] Running Fiber

Ikes, sorry for hijacking the last thread and forgetting to change the
subject!

Hello,

If one was wanting to run fiber in an already developed neighborhood, the
obvious obstacles are existing concrete roads, drives and sidewalks. What
are your options for getting around this other than destroying and fixing
which is not an option? Is there a technology that would allow you to drive
conduit underneath concrete drives and such?

Hello,

If one was wanting to run fiber in an already developed neighborhood, the
obvious obstacles are existing concrete roads, drives and sidewalks. What
are your options for getting around this other than destroying and fixing
which is not an option? Is there a technology that would allow you to drive
conduit underneath concrete drives and such?

Re: [WISPA] coax cables

2008-08-19 Thread Mike Brownson
To give you the facts.  You can use just about any coax you want.  But you
will have loss.  The smaller the cable the higher the loss.

Examples:
RG8 lose 3 db in 17 ft
LMR400  lose 3db in 26 ft
LMR600   lose 3 db in 40 ft
1/2 heliax   lose 3 db in 49 ft
LMR900  lose 3 db in 60 ft
5/8 heliax   lose 3 db in 64 ft


Remember that for every 6dB in loss you lose half your transmit and receive
range.  So with 34 ft of RG 8 instead of 5 miles you get 2.5.  So use
whatever cable you can get away with and still have the performance you
need.  If you need every miliwatt to be useful then use coax only as a short
jumper.

Re: [WISPA] coax cables

2008-08-19 Thread Chuck McCown - 3
I would never use coax for 5.8 period.  Not unless you are only going a few 
feet.
LMR900 can be used for up to 50 feet.  It is better than 1/2 heliax.  But 
really, you gotta use waveguide if you are going any distance at all.

Re: [WISPA] Cat5e modular plugs

2008-08-19 Thread Tom DeReggi
Would like to mention that there is not a one-fit-all solution for CAT5 
jacks. Whats best depends on the Cable type.

For example, For Shireen cable, Shireen has excellent one peice shielded 
plugs. Very easy to use. Perfect fit..

However,  they do not work well with the Superior Essex Outdoor Direct 
Buriel cable, that has thicker individual insulation on the wires and 
stiffer wires. Its to hard to fit the 8 wires side by side into the plug. 
For this its often better to use a split connector, so you can feed it in, 
cut it, and then insert in connector body. But I hate these except when its 
necessary, becaue I always lose the inner insert peices :-(

The Steward connector looked nice... Do they have a shielded version?

Re: [WISPA] Fixing dead CPE

2008-08-19 Thread Kurt Fankhauser
I just take two flathead screwdrivers and start in the middle of one of the
sides and keep working my way all the way around. Then I re-seal it with
some of that black silicone. Don't use the clear silicone it doesn't hold as
good. I've probably done 30 of these on out-of-warranty units and it works
great.

[WISPA] Cat5e modular plugs

2008-08-19 Thread Brian Rohrbacher
I am looking for a certain type I ordered once.  When you push the cable 
into the plug, and look at the plug from the end, all the solid color 
cables are on the top row and all the striped colors are on the bottom.  
It was real easy to look at and see it was correct.  Now, all I can find 
is the plugs that are the wires line up in one row. 

Anyone know what they are called or where I can find them?

[WISPA] Dell 3324 Switch

2008-08-19 Thread Scottie Arnett
Do any of you use the Dell 3324 switches? If so, what are some good settings to 
enter in the storm control that it has in it? It has settings for Unknown 
Unicast, Unknown Multicast, and Broadcast...these can be enabled or disabled. 
It also has a rate threshold that is determined in fps and can be set from 
250-148,000. 

Any insight wil be greatly appreciated.

[WISPA] Anyone heard of SBC Satellite

2008-08-19 Thread Patrick Nix Jr.
A company named Satellite Broadband Connection just approached us re:
offering their product as an alternative to otherwise un-serviceable
customers.  Is anyone currently partnered with them? How is it going?
My complaint is that it is asymmetric using dial-up as the upstream.  It
doesn't seem to me that it would compete well against wild blue/hughes
which offers bi-directional connectivity.  One good thing is you
supposedly own the customer so that you could switch them out to
wireless when/if it becomes available.  Pricing is not too bad it seems.

www.satellitebc.com


Any thoughts?

Re: [WISPA] does water ruin antennas?

2008-08-19 Thread Jack Unger
Brian,

The answer is "it depends". If a little water got into an antenna and 
came back out without staying in there too long, the antenna could be 
fine. On the other hand, if a lot of water got in and stayed for a while 
then it could cause corrosion that would prevent the antenna from 
working properly anymore. The same should apply to the dipole on the grid.

Re: [WISPA] does water ruin antennas?

2008-08-19 Thread Mac Dearman
Brian,

  It is my opinion that once the internal components of the antenna dry
thoroughly - - you can seal them and put them back into service. It will
depend on how long they were exposed to the water and the amount of
corrosion that may/may not be present as to whether they are actually usable
or suitable for service. I personally haven't ever been able to put one back
into service since they were exposed to water for long periods before they
actually died or got so bad that I noticed a signal level drop on the AP.

YMMV,
Mac

[WISPA] does water ruin antennas?

2008-08-19 Thread Brian Rohrbacher
So, if I have a suspect antenna that might have got water in it, is it 
ruined, or can it dry out, be resealed and work just fine?


Specifically, I have a couple omni's from sites that seemed to be under 
powered.  The culprit could have been the radio card, pigtail, cable or 
omni, I don't know.  I replaced it all.  The reason I ask about the omni 
is because way back a few years ago I got paranoid after I have some 
water issues.  A couple of these omni's I put too much tape and mastic 
on the bottom by the connector.  I wrapped it up too high and thick and 
covered the weep holes in the bottom of the omni.  So maybe I got 
condensation, or water in there if it could not leak out

So if an omni like that got wet, will it dry and be ok?  What about a 
dipole on a grid?

When is IS going to have MPLS?

MPLS isn't one thing, it's a set of over 50 RFCs.  Most implementations
don't have all of them at this point.  When you look to implement MPLS, you
need to know which parts you need and then make sure that your provider
supports them.
