Re: [WISPA] MikroTik WDS to non-MT devices

2008-08-28 Thread Sam Tetherow
The only time I used WDS between MT and non-MT I could not get it to 
work until I set the wds-mode to dynamic.

 Is there any issue with getting WDS working with non-mikrotik devices - 
 specifically a vivato access point?

 I have a WDS interface assigned to the wlan interface and bridge but the 
 MT is not receiving any packets from the Vivato. The MAC's are correct 
 in both radios.

 Ideas? Tricks?

 Ladies  Gentlemen,

 I am looking for some feedback.  How many POE devices are you typically
 locating at a single location?

I don't quite understand that question.  Do you mean radios?  Or do you mean 
all devices?

I'll assume you mean radios.  I have from none to 10 or so.

Most of my sites have 3 to 5 electronic devices at them.  Backhaul of some 
kind, switch, access point.  Sometimes there is also a remote reboot device 
(adding more and more of these as I can afford to).

My biggest site has 5 wifi systems, 2 Alvarion vl, airaya for backhaul, 
and a trango backhaul to another tower.  That one will come out when I can 
get something to run stable at 10 miles, the tranzeo's I bought to put in 
there lock up.

Access Point?

All of our AP's run POE now.  Even if the device is located indoors with 
coax running to the antenna.

 Customer Premise?

All are poe.

  What is
 your highest concentration at a single location?

See above.  It would be nice to have a single device (like some of the new 
POE switches that are out there) to plug them all into.  One power supply 
instead of 20.  The problem seems to be one of voltage.  I've not found a 
device that lets me run from 3.4 volts (airaya) to 48 volt (teletronics) and 
everything in between.  When people finally start building the radios to the 
802.3af (that's the poe standard isn't it?) 48vdc standard it'll be a LOT 
easier.

For now, we'll use the free poe units that come with the radios vs. anything 
fancier that costs money.  We're putting in better access points, backhauls, 
switches, UPS units etc.

Re: [WISPA] MT interface randomly dumping clients.

2008-08-28 Thread Tom DeReggi
 Alvarion are at least $50 more per CPE.Canopy

I WISH Alvarion was only $50 more per CPE.  If it were, It would be all I used, 
even if it meant $7500 over 150 CPEs.

But in my case, for 54mbps modulation CPEs

Mikrotik-  Ap $350, su $300, ($650 total)

Alvarion- Ap $8000, su $1500 ( $9500 total).  

I can install 15 Mikrotik customers/buildings for every one Alvarion (15x the 
capacity). Bust most importantly Mikrotik enables funding buildouts via cash 
flow, which is invaluable.

I really truly love Alvarion's support and product reliabilty, and still think 
its one of the higher quality products on the market. But I'll never be able to 
take advantage of it's offering, at those prices.
I don't care how good it is, it just isn't worth 15x the cost. Its actually 
much much more than 15x the cost, once you start factoring that Mikrotiks have 
multiple ports, and can add AP relay cards/antenna at just $100 each.

In my opinion Alvarion will never amount to anything other than a residential 
CPE, as long as they insist on the crippleware model, to pretend its affordable.
And for the residential model, $50 a CPE does make a difference.
The Alvarion was designed for the SuperCell model, which is a thing of the 
past, based on today's noise floor and end users' new speed requirements.
  
The Lucaya, Ligo, Mikrotik type platforms' value propositions, just can't be 
ignored anymore.

  Hi,

  I understand what you are saying... but I also understand that Canopy and 
Alvarion are at least $50 more per CPE. So to do 150 installs per month x $50 = 
$7,500 per month in savings it's pretty hard to just give up. Right now we are 
doing 30 customers per AP and it's working pretty well... even the gamers seem 
happy again.

  Mikrotik told me just today that it is next on their list after adding 
802.11n support. I guess we'll see if they can actually make things better.

Travis,
 This was my main reason for being such a critical opponent to your
request for Mikrotik support.  We fought with Mikrotik over a year to
get them to fix the issues and it never happened.  We finally stopped
about a year ago and went back to Canopy and Alvarion.  (More Canopy
lately with the 400 series)
 I can't tell you the number of supouts we sent or the number of tests
we ran.  We'd be up in the middle of the night, reconfiguring every
CPE with different settings and then changing the APs based on their
recommendations.  Basically, we were doing their field testing for
them and to no avail.  Nothing they recommended fixed things.  They
finally said that we didn't have enough horsepower at the AP.  So, we
bought super powerful PCs for APs.  Again, no help.  Now they have
their own super powerful hardware and it still hasn't fixed the
issue.
 So, for the savings of money on equipment, we invested a lot in R  D
for both time and dollars.  (I have tons of dead equipment sitting
here that didn't work.)
 So, when adding up all the hours debugging for Mikrotik (with no
results) and the extra equipment we had to buy to make things work,
we bailed.  Canopy and Alvarion are cheaper in the long run and we
sleep more.
 We use Mikrotik for a lot of our routers and most of the fights we
have fought there have been won.  (BGP and OSPF)  However, wireless
never got better.  (For PtMP)
 As far as support, Alvarion has been fantastic and thrown many
resources our way.  Although, we haven't needed them lately.  Canopy

 Travis,
 This was my main reason for being such a critical opponent to your
 request for Mikrotik support.  We fought with Mikrotik over a year to
 get them to fix the issues and it never happened.  We finally stopped
 about a year ago and went back to Canopy and Alvarion.  (More Canopy
 lately with the 400 series)
 I can't tell you the number of supouts we sent or the number of tests
 we ran.  We'd be up in the middle of the night, reconfiguring every
 CPE with different settings and then changing the APs based on their
 recommendations.  Basically, we were doing their field testing for
 them and to no avail.  Nothing they recommended fixed things.  They
 finally said that we didn't have enough horsepower at the AP.  So, we
 bought super powerful PCs for APs.  Again, no help.  Now they have
 their own super powerful hardware and it still hasn't fixed the
 issue.
 So, for the savings of money on equipment, we invested a lot in R  D
 for both time and dollars.  (I have tons of dead equipment sitting
 here that didn't work.)
 So, when adding up all the hours debugging for Mikrotik (with no
 results) and the extra equipment we had to buy to make things work,
 we bailed.  Canopy and Alvarion are cheaper in the long run and we
 sleep more.
 We use Mikrotik for a lot of our routers and most of the fights we
 have fought there have been won.  (BGP and OSPF)  However, wireless
 never got better.  (For PtMP)
 As far as support, Alvarion has been fantastic and thrown many
 resources our way.  Although, we haven't needed them lately.  Canopy

Canopy 400 series is Motorola 5.4GHz (5.8 GHz is coming) OFDM Point to
Multipoint Product.  Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/6ka7nc

Great hardware, and pushes 20Mb with no problems.  Viable contender for the
WiMAX Market, at a much lower price point.   Cheaper than Alvarion too
(although more expensive than Canopy AP's and regular Canopy SM's)

It's pricey but not quite Alvarion bad.  Under $3k per AP and $500 CPE. 
One major difference is that it is OFDM.  In terms of speed, if the
Advantage is 2X the original Canopy, the 400 series is 3X the original
Canopy.  Plus, it has GPS sync.

 Alvarion are at least $50 more per CPE.Canopy

 I WISH Alvarion was only $50 more per CPE.  If it were, It would be all I 
 used, even if it meant $7500 over 150 CPEs.

 But in my case, for 54mbps modulation CPEs

 Mikrotik-  Ap $350, su $300, ($650 total)

 Alvarion- Ap $8000, su $1500 ( $9500 total).

 I can install 15 Mikrotik customers/buildings for every one Alvarion (15x 
 the capacity). Bust most importantly Mikrotik enables funding buildouts 
 via cash flow, which is invaluable.

 I really truly love Alvarion's support and product reliabilty, and still 
 think its one of the higher quality products on the market. But I'll never 
 be able to take advantage of it's offering, at those prices.
 I don't care how good it is, it just isn't worth 15x the cost. Its 
 actually much much more than 15x the cost, once you start factoring that 
 Mikrotiks have multiple ports, and can add AP relay cards/antenna at just 
 $100 each.

 In my opinion Alvarion will never amount to anything other than a 
 residential CPE, as long as they insist on the crippleware model, to 
 pretend its affordable.
 And for the residential model, $50 a CPE does make a difference.
 The Alvarion was designed for the SuperCell model, which is a thing of the 
 past, based on today's noise floor and end users' new speed requirements.

 The Lucaya, Ligo, Mikrotik type platforms' value propositions, just can't 
 be ignored anymore.

  Hi,

  I understand what you are saying... but I also understand that Canopy and 
 Alvarion are at least $50 more per CPE. So to do 150 installs per month x 
 $50 = $7,500 per month in savings it's pretty hard to just give up. Right 
 now we are doing 30 customers per AP and it's working pretty well... even 
 the gamers seem happy again.

  Mikrotik told me just today that it is next on their list after adding 
 802.11n support. I guess we'll see if they can actually make things 
 better.

to use the 24V power supply instead of the 18V).

 

Thanks for the help in advance

[WISPA] Throughput MT

2008-08-28 Thread sales
We have a 5ghz backhaul PTP link with MT 532 on one end and 411 on the 
other. We have a -57 signal ccq in 100% and a potential throughput listed as 
30 Mbps on a solid 54M link. However I can never push more than 20 megs 
through it.? Anyone else have a simular setup doing better? Were using 
Nstream best fit.

Thanks,
John Buwa

2.4GHz P4 1Gbyte with cm9 card 45ft of lmr-400 between ant and card

RB532A with cm9 card

5.18GHz link

-68db @ 6Mbps
-77db @ 54Mbps

link 3200ft

Netstream mode, best fit

TCP thruput (either direction) 26.4Mbps

This is our primary link from our fiber shed to our main dist. tower

You do nice work Rick.

Someone posted on the star forums recently that they plugged their 48 
volt war board into a Cisco poe switch and it works.
I imagine there is a good chance it works with other 48 volt boards as well.

 Tracy,
 
 Our standard is 6 on small sites, up to 12 on larger sites.  I have attached
 some pictures of how we do it now.  I am interested in a solution that would
 take one power feed!  It sure would make cabling easier.
 
 Thanks,

 Ladies  Gentlemen,
 
 I am looking for some feedback.  How many POE devices are you typically
 locating at a single location? Access Point? Customer Premise?  What is your
 highest concentration at a single location? This information is requested to
 help in design considerations for emerging products

OK, you guys that make your boxes so nice and pretty  What do 
you do when the equipment you put in no longer works and the

I'd say this was more than a couple of years...
