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. -Adam On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 9:24 AM, Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com wrote: I agree.

[WISPA] 1 AP and 2 antennas
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 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] DFS Radar Question
I had some trouble with radar (think it was radar) last year. Interferences could be from many sources.

Or with Internet connectivity. All this is probably a pipe dream as I have never seen anything with such functionality.

Re: [WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower
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. On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 2:07 PM, Adam Goodman a...@wispring.com wrote: OK.

Re: [WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower
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?

Could it be that the board is getting to low a voltage? Sent from my iPhone On Jan 20, 2009, at 7:00 PM, Forbes Mercy forbes.me...@wabroadband.com wrote: 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.

Re: [WISPA] FM radio station site strangeness
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 (and well!!) On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 10:47 AM, Marlon K. Schafer o...@odessaoffice.com wrote: Hi All, I think we finally have this all figured out. Now I just have to figure out how to fix it. We've been up there for over 6 years now. It's certainly been a problematic site though. Constant channel changes (we have 3 competitors a mile away 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!

The fact that the building has less hardware in it and we have more snow up there than normal has probably caused some different
Re: [WISPA] FM radio station site strangeness
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).

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.

Schafer o...@odessaoffice.com wrote: Hi All, I think we finally have this all figured out. Now I just have to figure out how to fix it. We've been up there for over 6 years now. It's certainly been a problematic site though. Constant channel changes (we have 3 competitors a mile away 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!

Re: [WISPA] NetFlix Streaming Bandwidth Information
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.
