Re: [WISPA] DMCA - copyright infringement

To me the question is how much work should I invest in order to
protect their copyright interest. It makes sense to me that since
they have no way of knowing the identity of the customer and all they
really have is an ip address. That the ISP would have to connect the
copyright owner to the customer. Billing them for the research work
sounds like good idea to me. That way I am not preventing them from
contacting the perpetrating party, and I also get paid for my time.

 We have received an email from our provider with a complaint from

 They demand we notify the customer and make sure the customer is aware
 of our AUP. Has anyone received a notice like this and how did you

 So if you are running a NAT/DHCP network, how would you find the offending 
 customer? We are running static/public so we don't run into this.

 I think the simplest way is to require the studio to provide the IP for the 
 server delivering copyrighted information.

 The ISP has to be tracking CPE MACs.

 Use MT's torch or Wireshark to look at connections across the network to find 
 the BT server IP. Match the connection to the MAC and there you go.

 Maybe there is an easier way.

 Really to cover yourself you would need to know what customer it came from,
 When NAT'ing that's hard to do. So yeah, I would agree you the ISP could
 become the sole person responsible for that unless you can point fingers at
 a customer.

[WISPA] 1 AP and 2 antennas

2009-04-24 Thread Adam Goodman
Hi,
I would like to set up 2 antennas (East and West more or less) but
will not get more than 30 subs between the 2. I would like to connect
both antennas to one AP. Normally, I would not even dream of doing
this. However this is a small valey with low interferance. And all the
subs will be very clse, peobably less than a quarter mile from the AP.

I am planning to use 900MHz for this. So I guess this would be a
device that would connect to the AP with one COAX and then connect to
each antenna with a COAX. So, 3 N connectors.

Has any of you done this, did you have success, and what is the device
called, and where would I get it?

Thank you,
Adam

Thanks guys.
Loosing 3db is probably not an issue since I was going to lower the tx
power anyway doe to the distance to the subs.

found this for $50. says its good for 0-6ghz. does it need to be tuned
to a specific freq?

Now all I need to do is test and see how it works out.

Re: [WISPA] DFS Radar Question

2009-04-20 Thread Adam Goodman
I had some trouble with radar (think it was radar) last year.
Interferences could be from many sources. It sa problem because you
can't just go sit there for a couple of weeks with a spectrum analyzer
listening for noise. It would be nice if there was a reasonably priced
logger. Or with Internet connectivity. All this is probably a pipe
dream as I have never seen anything with such functionality.

[WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower

Hi guys,

I am thinking of installing Ethernet junction boxes on my towers (top and
bottom). The idea is to install a larger number of runs up the tower and run
shorter runs from the box to the radios. The same at the bottom from the
patch panel to the equipment/arrestors etc.

Is anyone doing this? What kink of (water proof) boxes do you use and do you
use a multiple CAT5 cables or do you run 48 or 96 pair?

Re: [WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower

2009-03-10 Thread Adam Goodman
As Dylan mentioned, increased lightning damage could also be an issue with a
single core cable.

I run all my cables in a single bunch down the tower. They are individually
shielded. And all the shielding is connected to the same ground of course.

Regardless, they would also get power from the same source. I could put
individual arrestors at the top of the tower. At the bottom I would have one
for the AC and one for each Ethernet quad.

Re: [WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower

2009-03-10 Thread Adam Goodman
Is there anyone doing this in a frequent lightning area? We are in
Massachusetts and last summer we had a %^#^% of a time keeping up. We did a
lot of work improving grounding but I am still worried.

shorter runs from the box to the radios. The same at the bottom from

Right. I guess the only difference is that separate shielding over a long
parallel run.

 As Dylan mentioned, increased lightning damage could also be an issue with

 I run all my cables in a single bunch down the tower. They are individually
 shielded. And all the shielding is connected to the same ground of course.

 Regardless, they would also get power from the same source. I could put
 individual arrestors at the top of the tower. At the bottom I would have
 one

Re: [WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower

2009-03-10 Thread Adam Goodman
Here is the original concern regarding the lightning strike jumping to other
radios.

= snip 
Would this not increase the chances of a strike to a single AP jumping
at the block to the other pairs?

Dylan
= snip 



On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 2:28 PM, Brad Belton b...@belwave.com wrote:

 I think you're making this more difficult than necessary.

 25pr = 50 wires = 25 pair

 There are 8 wires in a standard CAT5 cable.

 50 / 8 = 6.25  or more simply 48 / 8 = 6

 Or as David illustrated there are four pairs in a standard CAT5 cable.  So,
 if you take 24 pairs from the 25 pair cable and divide by 4 you get 6
 giving
 you 6 cables.

 Regarding lightning; we haven't seen any increase in lightning risk with
 this type of installation and have several installed this way on a variety
 of structures and elevations.  If your site is grounded properly I don't
 believe one cable is more susceptible to lightning strikes than six.

 Best,

 It is not that simple it matter which pairs you use.  If you just try
 matching wires or pairs at each end you will have problems. You need to
 punch it down according to the standard or you will not end up with 6

 not following the standard but don't try it for long runs.

  There are 25 pairs of wires in a 25 pair cable.
  You only need 2 pair per run for standard ethernet (1,2,3  5 in a
  standard RJ45)
  So that gives you 12 connections between top and bottom.
  For power, use a separate power run to the cabinet (speaker wire!...
  just kidding!)
 
  There you have it.

   There are 8 wires in a standard CAT5 cable.

   Or as David illustrated there are four pairs in a standard CAT5

   if you take 24 pairs from the 25 pair cable and divide by 4 you get 6

   As Dylan mentioned, increased lightning damage could also be an issue
  with a
   single core cable.
  
   I run all my cables in a single bunch down the tower. They are
  individually
   shielded. And all the shielding is connected to the same ground of

   Regardless, they would also get power from the same source. I could

 We have a tower with a single radio operating on it.  We were using a
 Microtik 133 board with a single Prizim chipset in it.  One day it
 stopped responding to requests through the network using Winbox.  No
 customers were down so we assumed it was running bandwidth (too much
 snow to travel up there).  One night about 7 PM we started getting  
 tower
 down calls, of course we hadn't been able to ping or get into it for
 weeks so we had no idea.

 Took a back-up 433AH board up and used the same radio card, worked  
 like
 a charm for both our access and customer throughput.  We didn't want  
 to
 waste a three port/LAN board so ordered a 433a single port board.   
 Once
 it arrived we logged into it by MAC in the office with no problem,
 programmed it and sent it up to the tower.  Once on the tower  
 customers
 associated just fine but once again we couldn't access the management
 side.  We saw the MAC and the identity for it but we couldn't ping  
 that
 IP (yes, the 433AH radio was unplugged) and trying to load by MAC  
 would
 start the RouterOS download but at various places it would crash.

 Moved the 433A down to the hut and a laptop easily logged into it,  
 even
 when plugged into the switch, but we still couldn't log into it from
 remote, although the laptop on scene was going through the same switch
 and by MAC just like we were trying, sigh.  OK we put the 433AH back  
 in
 service and again everything worked great.  I'm stumped, we isolated  
 the
 switch, Cat 5, and IP Address but those two single cards won't allow  
 us
 to log in over using Winbox either by IP or by MAC while it allows it
 locally.   *banging head against the wall.  Any ideas?

Re: [WISPA] FM radio station site strangeness

2009-01-07 Thread Adam Goodman
We also colocate with an FM transmitter. Only 1300W though. we also
had interference on our Ethernet lines. We solved it by moving radios
away from the FM antenna (3 feet or so on a 90' tower) We also
installed ferrits which helped (I actually used a conduit pipe).
Grounding the cat5 helped too.

I would think that if you find that you need more shielding. put all
your cat5 cables in a conduit and install abreakout box at the top of
the tower. If your area is prone to electrical storms (where isn't
these days?!) you will at some point be very sorry you didn't grount

 We've been up there for over 6 years now.  It's certainly been a problematic

 and pick up hundreds of ap's from in town) are the norm.

 This fall (a month or two ago) one of the tenants left the building.  This
 cleared out most of the hardware that was in there.  A little bit before
 that I replaced an Inscape Data and a smartBridges combo with a single MT
 access point, using one of the cables that had been working for one of the
 other two.

 About a week ago things started to really act up.  Multiple devices were
 having trouble.  I was able to catch it in the act finally.  This time the
 problem wasn't a wireless issue, the devices were constantly disconnecting
 and reconnecting at the switch level.

 I pulled the Cisco switch out and dropped in a Netgear unit.  That didn't
 fix it.  Next I put in a Digital Loggers rack mount reboot device.  That
 wouldn't connect right either.

 I finally had to pull all of the hardware off of the shelf and set most of
 it on the floor (or just let it hang there) to get it working at all well.
 Still not perfect but better.

 I had by now hiked up there through sometimes knee deep snow 3 or 4 times.
 Next I took a motorbike with studded snow tires up and got permission to
 turn down the power to the radio station.  That didn't fix the problem
 either.

 Next I borrowed a snowmobile and hauled some help and my spectrum analyzer
 up.  I was unable to see any signals that didn't belong.

 Next day, another hike up the hill.

 OK, maybe a cat 5 cable went bad and I'm getting backfeed through the
 switch.  DC current or something.  So I started testing the cables that run
 to the most problematic units.  Well now, look at that.  Bad cable.  In fact
 there are three of them.  Hmmm, kinda strange though.  All three have the
 exact same fault!  Oh well, better change them out anyway.  I ran three new
 cable runs and just for kicks I tested one of them.  What the heck?  The
 new cable has the EXACT same fault as the old one!  Even though it didn't
 follow the exact same path as the old cables.

 Man, this is sure looking like a problem caused by the radio station.  I was
 using indoor cat5 and didn't run lightning protection or ground anything.
 Yeah I know, but remember that this has been there for a very long time like
 this.  And as a guy with an electrical background I know that there are
 actually two ways to deal with stray electrical.  Grounding is one.
 Insulating is another  Anyway, I know it wasn't built to specs.

 I added some grounding and that didn't help at all.

 Yesterday I finally had one of the local wireless companies (Day Wireless)
 that mainly does VHF radios, backhaul etc.  They also checked things with
 the spectrum analyzer but couldn't find anything amiss.  I was able to
 duplicate the wiring fault for them (with my Ideal tester).  But suddenly
 everything cleared right up!  Stuff was looking good, no cable fault etc.
 Pings were looking good, devices were finally negotiating the connections
 right etc.

 I called the radio station to ask if I could try turning the power down
 again to see if we see any change on the spectrum analyzer.  They said they
 thought that I'd already done that because the showed the power was way
 down.  Turns out someone in the building had bumped a breaker and shut down
 part of the transmitter!  Well, we got all of that figured out and guess
 what.  All of the problems came right back!  I then turned the power back
 down and they cleared up.

 Tip for you guys, dropping an 18,000 watt system down by even 60% of it's
 normal output isn't always enough.  We had to drop down to 10 to 20% to get
 the problems to clear up.  The guys from Day Wireless had some small ferrite
 beads with them so we stuck them onto the cables.  Put the beads on and the
 radios would negotiate at 100full.  Take them off and they'd drop right back
 to 100 half.  Duplicatable all day long.

 S, current theory is that the radio station is screwing up my cat5
 connections.  The fact that the building has less hardware in it and we have
 more snow up there than normal has probably caused some different

It also sounds like there is a new leak in the waveguide. One more
thing you might try is to move the cable from leg to leg on the tower
so that you variable length sections that do not resonate at 350MHz or
~100MHz (FM transminssion).

[WISPA] Battery backup and monitoring

2008-12-16 Thread Adam Goodman
I am looking for a solid solution for a site power backup and
monitoring. It would be nice to put together a parts list and
application notes. These are the points I came up with.

1. A good resilient Charger
2. Monitoring of AC power (on/off state, and maybe voltage too)
3. Monitor battery health
4. How to protection power supply, batteries and monitoring device
from AC damages fluctuations and lightning storms.

My systems usually require 24DC as well as 48DC (for the Orthogon stuff)

Re: [WISPA] Weather proofing antennas

Yes, there is a spray (cheaper but doen n that the sattelite folks
use. There is also ot work as well) an iseophobic paint (very
expensive and I hope it works better - I will test some soon).

 I have heard that spraying Pam (or some kind of oil, regardless of brand)
 should help for at least a few months - is this so?

[WISPA] Adding more canopy 900MHz APs

2008-12-08 Thread Adam Goodman
I am needing to increase capacity at one of my sites. I already have 2
900APs and will need one more. The original setup covered about 180
degrees with 2 90 deg panels. I would like the third AP to overlap
with the existing APs. the frequencies are not overlapping (906,915,
and 924).

Is there anything I should look out for?

Re: [WISPA] Cisco 2955

2008-12-01 Thread Adam Goodman
I doubt you 2955 will run at 7.5 VDC. Specs indicate 18 - 32VDC. I
would think you need a 24VDC power source and not a 12VDC. I am
surprised it ran at 12V (or 14 on a fully charged battery)



On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 2:20 PM, Randy Cosby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 More research proves you are probably right.  the converter we have
 shuts down - or quits converting - at 11v.  Recent storms have let
 batteries get that low a couple times.  Ordering a new converter today
 that will go down to 7.5 v and adding more solar panels soon.

 Anyone used one of these?  Seems like a very nice, rugged switch.  We
 used one for a solar site recently and it appears to be having some
 serious issues (dying) recently - we are assuming from voltage
 fluctuations.  We're using a 12-24v regulated dc converter and powering
 it on the 24 v side.  Replacing it with a mikrotik for now.  Curious if
 anyone else has tried these and if this is normal behavior on a solar
 site for this switch?

Re: [WISPA] NetFlix Streaming Bandwidth Information

2008-11-27 Thread Adam Goodman
I oversubscribe 10/1. I try to keep it down to 30-35 subs per AP
(mostly 900MHz=3mbps radios). Lets say I have only 2 streaming subs at
any given time:

2x 2mbps = 4mbps. plus other regular traffic. The demand is only going
to go up with time. Seems to me we need faster 900MHz radios if we
want to stay in busines, and if Moto wants to stay in the 900 market.

 That includes transport.
 And stastically, you can oversub it, even with streaming content.
 You are never going to have all 20 streaming movies all at the same time.
 I am willing to take the chance.  That is how we are building out our
 network.

I think the canopy 450 will do something like 30 down and 10 up.
So that could give you 20 simultaneously which statistically could
work if you had 50-100 on an AP.

 Ok, so you have 20 people on one AP pulling 2Meg each which is 40
 meg stream.  If you have just 3 towers like that, you will have
 120Meg streaming.  At $50/sub, you have 60*50 = $3k/month in
 revenue for those that are using that 120Meg.  You'd NEVER get
 120Meg delivered to rural America (at least not in MY area) for that
 kind of money.  A DS3 here with 45Meg would be around $4500/month
 after you include the transport.

 What am I missing?  Canopy isn't the answer...the question isn't
 JUST the last mile, but the business model overall.  The problem CAN
 be solved at the last mile, but when people are demanding streaming
 services they will have to understand that $50 commodity service
 isn't the answer.  I'd be happy to deliver ANYONE with a dedicated
 service level of 2,3 even 10M, but it won't be $50/month.
