Re: [WISPA] Strange problem with Canopy 9000APC

I use them with no insertion loss at all. There is a version of it with a male end for antenna however I don't see it on Tessco's site. The polyphaser model # is DSXL-MA Kurt Fankhauser Wavelinc Communications P.O. Box 126 Bucyrus, OH 44820 http://www.wavelinc.com

Re: [WISPA] Strange problem with Canopy 9000APC

They key to spectrum management is to use as little power as possible to achieve the desired result. Anything beyond this is just pollution. For Canopy you want ~16dB above the noise floor (10dB to get 2X plus 6dB margin). So for example if your noise floor is -78 (in the middle of the de

Erik, Thanks for the input. I'll swap ports and power supplies. That makes sense. As for running too hot, I conversed with Dan Soles, field engineer for Cambium when he visited, about that very thing. He strongly urged me not to even worry about balancing. He says run everything wide open all

I /have /seen similar things on Canopy 900. 1. I work with a lot of 900 APs. Test the radios that are down. Leave them running connected to the tower as an SM from a couple miles for a couple days. I bet they are just fine. But testing an AP as an SM is not a 100% guaranteed test (had on

I had a trango M900 ap that got hit by lightning and I had to replace it. the one I replaced it with has an older firmware version and is randomly rebooting itself. After some research I found a newer firmware that is suppose to fix the problem but I can't find step by step instructions on how t

The S/N's on the radios are not really close. The second two that went bad came from a different shipment from the first batch. No visible signs of vandalism. Tower has locked cage around ladder. I can't imagine vandalism, however, you never rule out anything you can prove is out. Dave On Th

Extreme bad luck - or perhaps not - are all the radios perhaps from a faulty batch? Vandalism - Is there any sort of access control or surveillance at the site? The first thoughts that spring to mind. On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 4:40 PM, David Hannum wrote: > Never tried that before. We always use

Re: [WISPA] Strange problem with Canopy 9000APC

Never tried that before. We always use LPU's on the CAT-5 but I've never put one on the antenna lead. What kind of line loss does it cause? I don't see that in the Tech Specs. Also, does it come with a male antenna connector side? Dave Hannum On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 10:35 AM, Kurt Fankhauser

Re: [WISPA] Strange problem with Canopy 9000APC

I wonder if it's electrical. Shortly after our tornado we lost all 4 900 aps at the same time. When I got on site our Coop was across the street working on the lines. The backhaul links were fine. Not saying they caused it necessarily but losing all 4 at the same time on a bright sunny day was

Moisture is not an issue. Good drip loops on both the antenna cable and CAT-5 Cables. We actually sealed the entry of the radio with mastic to be sure. The first radio lasted about 10 months. When it went, we first swapped antennas, thinking maybe a lightning strike damaged it (we've had the sa

Swapped antennas first, thinking that might have been the issue. Did not help. I've heard off list from a couple of others who are experiencing the same exact issue. And like us, it's limited to a given tower or towers. We have 9000APC all over the place. This is the only spot for this problem.

[WISPA] Strange problem with Canopy 9000APC

We're having an issue with a 9000APC that is very strange. Here is the situation. We have a remote water tank (stand pipe 75' high) that has a few homes around it. So, we have a 9000APC and a connectorized 2450AP on the tower, both on Omni's. The antennas are on a stand almost exactly 4' apart.
