[WISPA] Long 5Ghz link over water
I have a 23 mile link completely over water that I cannot get stable. One end is approx 200ft AGL, 220ft ASL, the other end is 50' AGL, 90' ASL. Antennas are V-Pol 29dbi grids, radios are R5H cards. I have tried the link at both 5.2, and 5.8, but it still fluctuates dramatically. When the antennas were installed and configured for a 5Mhz channel, I was able to aim them to -55, but still they go down during parts of the day. I have a second antenna hung on the 200ft end, at about 185', connected to a second R5H set up for H-Pol which I am going to light up as soon as I get the other end mounted H-Pol. Any other suggestions for getting this stable? I also notice some strangeness when doing bandwidth tests. I can get a steady 8mbps downstream from the 200ft end to the 50' end, but from the 50' end to the 200ft end, the transfer starts at about 6mbps, then slowly drops down to 0, and the client radio (the 50' end) drops. My assumption is multipath reflections off of the water at the lower end, but I cannot be sure. The water is tidal, with as much as a 3' change from low to high, and is connected to the ocean, so there can be considerable chop and wave action on the surface. attachment: graph_image.php.png WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Long 5Ghz link over water
2009/10/28 Marlon K. Schafer o...@odessaoffice.com: It's probably ducting. Where the conditions in the AIR literally bend the signal over or under your receive antennas. You'll likely have to put in a system designed with something called antenna diversity. Basically two antennas for each link. One 10 to 20' higher than the other one. Then the radio will listen to the two of them and switch to the one with the greater signal levels for it's data flow. I always wanted to try this using a splitter placed EXACTLY in the middle of the two. But with wave lengths so small I don't think it's likely that I'd get it close enough without a lot of blind luck (get it wrong and you create multipath inside the cables). Exactly. My thoughts went to an 802.11n card, with two antennas on each end. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Long 5Ghz link over water
2009/10/28 Tom DeReggi wirelessn...@rapiddsl.net: Its relevent to disclose the radio OS type using. (You stated using a R5H a Mikrotik card, but weren't clear if using Mikrotik OS). The symptom you are explaining sounds similar to how some of my Mikrotik OS units had responsed to noise. Basically they kept dropping speed until they disconnected. It was like watching a clock tick down to zero, and repeat. I had this problem recently with 900Mhz and MIkrotik, and the problem was curred as soon as I switch to a different brand product. I'm suspect, but not verified, nor conclusive, that it could be a Mikrotik driver issue. The point I'm making is that you are likely getting some sort of noise or multi-path (self noise), but the overall problem may not be the noise/multi-path but instead the inabilty of your product to adequately deal with that noise/multipath RF conditions. Yup, it is Mikrotik 4.1 at both ends, on Routerboard 433AH boards, fed by a 24v DC plant (batteries and charger). The easiest place to do a science project probably isn't between two towers seperated by a 20 mile body of water, but it would make for a very interesting and meaningful science project. The link doesn't have traffic over it, the site is currently fed by a T1, so I have some time to play mad scientist without any negative effects to customers. Sure a Mimo card w/ Dual Pol (for single stream) or Space Diversity would likely help deal with Multipath. But what I wonder is whether the same bad results are replicated with other single channel products of similar spec. It would be interesting to put up a Tlink-45, get results of it's noise survey scan, and see if it overcomes the problem. Or even try a StarOS box. Its also relevent to understand how much of the issue is canceled RF, and how much is side effects of 802.11 CDMA? I'm wondering if a TDD system w/ good ARQ better handles it. I do have a TLink-45 pair sitting around (non connectorized) that I could test. Is there a hack to put a pigtail on these? If the power is turned down on the troublesome end, only possible during the times of day when the RX level is decent, the bandwidth test runs faster and longer before it drops to nothing. This might make the link usable, if Mikrotik had some sort of variable transmit power control to maintain 10-20db SNR. My point here is in an ideal world a radio should never have the characteristic to start at 6mb and slowly go to Zero. Instead it should stay at 6mbps, and just have a very high error count. Even if it has 50% packet loss it should stay associated, and with a TDD system w/ARQ it likely would.. When performing the test, the amount of retransmissions push the data rate down from 54 to progressively lower modulation speeds. I am running 5Mhz channels (tried 10, and 20) so this explains the progressive drop to low throughput and ultimate disconnection in my mind. Also note, if Using Mikrotik, they now support Atheros's threshold feature, to mask out weak signals, this can help reduce multipath signal. (although use cutiously as there can be significant fade of water with Fog/Clouds/evaporation/Solar and such.) Obviously if you switched to a TDD MIMO system, you'd optimize your chance for success, but you would not be able to learn what factor most helped the improvement. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet2HP
No, but they could have put the connectors on the bottom of the antenna, and on the bottom of the radio (where they belong!) And used a 12 piece of lmr240.

It must have been another tradeoff since the area between the rocket and the connector on the antenna is so small, you probably couldn’t bend a much thicker cable in such a tight loop.

No changes were made on our system at all that would have caused this problem. Just checking to see if anyone else has the same issues.

Re: [WISPA] Baby, it's cold out there! Bullet5M has the flu.
2010/1/6 Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com: Was out last night at 11:30, up on top of a grain bin trying to figure out why my network was dropping out. Using UBNT for the backhaul in this section so I was using the Ubiquiti Discovery tool. I would see NO UBNT equipment, then I'd see a few then all then none, etc. Finally traced it down to a Bullet5 M HP. The thing was in a constant reset mode but not one I'd seen before. Some of the early units (and this is an early unit) would have the reset button stuck in because of the lack of clearance around the hole that the reset button is in.. but this one, the RSSI lights were pegged to the max but that's normal on this install. I Could see the signal with my laptop but couldn't talk to the unit through the lan. I took the antenna off of it and the RSSI stayed all the way pegged. Tried to reset it, no go. Finally went down to the van, got another Bullet, replaced it and configured it all the while fighting the wind.. Shsh... took it home and when I fired it up I lost all the 5ghz signal from my other equipment in the room. Tried other channels, all gone. My guess is, the Bullet was stuck in some some sort of loop and was broadcasting all across the spectrum at once. That would explain why, out in the field, I would lose everything like a roller coaster. After about an hour of warming up I was able to reset it, flash the firmware just to be sure it wasn't a firmware issue and set it out in the cold to test it. Working fine this morning as a test unit but I've never seen one blast the entire spectrum at once. Or at least all the channels in such a quick succession. Is this the thread where we try to one up each other with the odd things that our Ubiquiti gear does? If so, I had a Nanostation talking to a Rocket, both in bridge mode, with Mikrotik's on the wired side at both ends, showing up as a hop in a traceroute. Traceroute would show other hosts on the network (correctly) then the MT on the Rocket end, then the Nanostation, and then the MT on the Nanostation end. I double and triple checked that the radios were set as bridges. WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] Ubnt and OSPF
I'm having issues with OSPF (Mikrotik) traversing an Airmax sector. Network consists of a Routerboard running 4.1, connected to a Rocket sector running XM.v5.1. Client radio is a Nanostation also running XM.v5.1, connected to a Routerboard running 4.2. The first routerboard has a number of ospf neighbors on the same interface the Rocket is connected to (there is a switch between the physical interface and the Rocket) but when a neighbor relationship is established over the UBNT link, strange things happen. Running a traceroute to the loopback address of the MT results in a routing loop, with the Nanostation showing up as a L3 hop. I have yet to do a packet dump, but my guess is that somehow the UBNT radio is mangling the OSPF multicast traffic and inserting itself in to the path. The notes on the UBNT forum regarding OSPF seem to indicate that enabling multicast forwarding on the radio is all that is required. See below for the MT OSPF config. /routing ospf instance set default comment= disabled=no distribute-default=never in-filter=ospf-in metric-bgp=20 metric-connected=20 metric-default=1 metric-other-ospf=\ auto metric-rip=20 metric-static=20 name=default out-filter=ospf-out redistribute-bgp=no redistribute-connected=no redistribute-other-ospf=no \ redistribute-rip=no redistribute-static=no router-id=10.254.12.3 /routing ospf area set backbone area-id=0.0.0.0 comment= disabled=no instance=default name=backbone type=default add area-id=0.0.0.1 comment= disabled=no instance=default name=1 type=default /routing ospf interface add authentication=md5 authentication-key=secret authentication-key-id=1 comment= cost=10 dead-interval=40s disabled=no hello-interval=10s \ instance-id=0 interface=wlan1 network-type=broadcast passive=no priority=1 retransmit-interval=5s transmit-delay=1s add authentication=md5 authentication-key=secret authentication-key-id=1 comment= cost=10 dead-interval=40s disabled=no hello-interval=10s \ instance-id=0 interface=ether1 network-type=broadcast passive=no priority=1 retransmit-interval=5s transmit-delay=1s /routing ospf network add area=1 comment= disabled=no network=10.0.0.0/8 WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Anyone ever mount gear on flagpole style tower?
When are you writing you how to mount anything on anything book?

There is no way to service or install equipment on a stealth pole without a manlift or crane with a basket The pole is a spindle design inside. Picture a solid pipe *axel with two solid round wheels one on each end. Now take the whole assembly and stand it on end. Now stack several of them and put them at the top of a standard open monopole. There are cable ports cut in the wheels so the cabling can run thru the sections. The sections are wrapped in polyethelyne (or similar) covers usually 2 to 4 per level. They are held in by bolts or special latches. Now the warning.. As a contractor I mark all my jobs up an additional 50% when working on a stealth flagpole. The suck to work on. You need two guys to remove a cover MINIMUM. They don't have handles so they are very hard to handle. The slightest wind can make removal or install super difficult if not impossible. There have been times where we needed to return a day or two later to put covers on when the weather calmed down. They don't line up correctly when reinstalling them. You need a large narrow awl or HD screwdriver for leverage. The covers are VERY expensive. The cheapest one I have seen is $2K and they crack and break real easy even though they are 1/2 or so thick. On older poles they can be as much as $5K. If you are located on a level below cell carriers you may be in trouble. When installing cell cabling in a monopole a capstan is used. The cable can get hung up on your CAT5 cabling and tear it out or damage it. Your radios, antennas and mounts need to be rugged and withstand physical jarring. Your cable needs to be well restrained. This is not the site to go cheap on the install. When installing on one of these sites you need to keep an open mind and consider everything especially the unknown. Personally I would walk away.

Re: [WISPA] FTTx
2009/6/15 Mike Hammett wispawirel...@ics-il.net: okay, PONs have gotten faster since I last looked. Last I knew they had peaks of a few hundred megs per it's equivalent of an AP. Now it's peak is 2.5 GB and there's a new spec due later this year for maybe 10 GB. I'll open it up to PONs. ;-) I built a network based around an Alloptic chassis. It is a very nice solution, can be built out entirely redundantly, even with hot-spare lasers (by way of a 2 - 1 passive combiner. One box does data and voice. Voice can be fed via a DS3 or T1, or you can configure the CPEs to act as ATAs. If you deliver TDM voice to the CPE, you are digital TDM all the way, so you can use a dialup modem or fax machine behind the CPE without any issues. Try that with an ATA!. The data connection to the chassis can be trunked, and subscribers placed in whatever VLAN you wish. CPE provisioning is easy, just plug it in at the customer site, and it's MAC will show up in the provisioning software at the headend, or you can provision ahead of time. RF video can be delivered over the network as well, by way of an add-on 2U laser source, which runs at a different wavelength. I have not used it, but have seen it deployed, and it does the job, even supports bi-direction datastreams, so digital set top boxes (or even cable modems) will work over the fiber. I really can't say enough good stuff about this company, their tech support as been fantastic, and the gear rock solid. http://www.alloptic.com/products/product.php?p=homegear4000id=131 http://www.alloptic.com/products/co.php WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] MiniPCI Radio Cards
I've never delved into this arena before, so I need a bit of guidance. What is the hot card for putting in a StarOS/Mikrotik based access point? Should I just get the low power unit off of Routerboard.com? I plan to run towertop amps, so a low power card would be sufficient. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] MiniPCI Radio Cards
2009/6/19 Scott Carullo sc...@brevardwireless.com My first advice is ditch the amp, not necessary and most likely illegal power. You can get what you need out of the minipci card. You will want to purchase from US distributor, search for RB411 and you should have plenty of options, best one probably close to you so you get them quickly prices are roughly the same everywhere. Titan Wireless is an excellent source of Mikrotik Product and they are good to work with. I would like to ditch the amps, and run the radios tower-top, but we have so much lightning here. I'd like to limit towertop equipment to an amp, since its easy to troubleshoot and replace. This will let me locate the radios in the shack at the base, and troubleshoot easily without a climb, or 20 trips up and down replacing one bit at a time. I'm only planning on a 250mw or 500mw amp.

Re: [WISPA] MiniPCI Radio Cards
2009/6/19 Kurt Fankhauser k...@wavelinc.com: Uh, I hate to burst your bubble but the tower top amps WILL take a hit no better than a SBC mounted up-top. The only way around it is to run 5/8 heliax up the tower and put an XR2 radio at the bottom behind a polyphaser. Yes, I'm aware, and I've built it both ways in the past. I will also be at least a day away from each of these sites, and want to simplify the upkeep. I'll have someone on the ground who can troubleshoot the boards and radio cards, but will not climb. The tower labour will be mostly unskilled, and swapping three amps with coax connections will be easier for them. WISPA Wants You!

I LOVE my setup for it's reliability, ease of use etc. Hacked customer accounts and virus's are killing me though. We don't catch things until 100,000s of messages go out and we get black listed. This has now happened 3 or 4 times in the last couple of years. My server admins aren't coming up with a solution to this other than to limit cc's to 25 per message. We did that once before and my phone rang off the hook because people can't send jokes to their friends. The other thing that makes it hard is that the log files that I get (up to 40 megs per day!) don't list the authenticated sender, only the reply address. So I see tens of thousands of messages from a user that's not even mine (faked info). sigh We use Courier MTA. My thought is to set the server to allow a max of 1000 messages per day per user. And to somehow make the log file ONLY send me the number of messages received per a user, and the number sent, user name and ip addy of all those sending.

Currently we are looking to replace out Barracuda due to ongoing issues with the box that after several attempts to work with Barracuda can not be resolved. Barracuda is helpful but like to point at other things like DNS and unrelated stuff. In the end they log into the box after wasting time so something to kick the box and we are good for an undetermined amount of time. The Barracuda gives us a few features that we like such as an in house box that we are not paying per email address or domain. Also the per user configurability is great for letting users independently control their white and blacklists. In a nutshell what products should we look at that offer us similar features as the Barracuda box. You can roll your own with Postfix and a few addons. After looking at the configuration options for a lot of the Postfix addons, you come to the realization that with a few hours of work, you can have all of the software tools used by the Barracuda internally, and have root access to the box to fix it yourself when it goes south, instead of waiting on them. You can also throw in things like redundant hard drives, and redundant power. How a company can market a $3k+ device with a single IDE drive in good conscience is beyond me. I can't find the link right now, but there is a package that provides users with an accessible, configurable quarantine, just like the Barracuda. I'll post the link as soon as it turns up.

On the (exceedingly rare) occasion that ours do anything odd, rebooting them almost always clears it up. I've had them get overwhelmed with mail, and the solutions was to wait for their support to connect in and clear the logs. I could have done that myself! What pushed me over the edge, was a failed hard drive. I was running a Spam Firewall 300, which yes, I know, is not a RAIDed config. (which is another rabbit hole to go down, considering the box is $3k+) and the hard drive started to throw errors. The problem, was that these errors were not evident to us as the admins of the machine. None of the Barracuda logs indicated any sort of issue. The box got slower and slower, until one day, it refused to pass mail. When tech support took a look, they exclaimed that the hard drive had been throwing errors for quite some time, any now it was too late, the box was dead. Their solution always worked very well, and I didn't need to think about it. Until it blew up without telling anyone it planned to. WISPA Wants You!

I searched through the entire box twice looking for my candy bar... never did find one. It completely ruined my day... We went to install these two units on a 10km link.

Got the second end installed during a blizzard in the pitch black of night, trying to align it with snowflakes the size of baseballs hitting the laptop screen. Aparently these dishes are of such good quality that being off a couple degrees on end A will impact your signal tremendously -- moving end B about 2-degrees either way drops signal by about 8dB.

On 16 July 2010 12:23, Rogelio scubac...@gmail.com wrote: Since others here sometimes deal with CCTV as a wireless application, I was hoping for some insight on the best *simple* (no frills, really) raw storage solution for 100 - 500 TBs. Right now, I've been looking at Hitachi, EMC, and Compellent (all fairly expensive). I also started looking at Dell's Equallogic line (looks very simple and straight forward). Others I've heard good things about include Pillar but haven't looked at their pricing yet. Any good tips you have would be greatly appreciated. Dell has a product line below the Equalogic line that does pretty much anything you can ask for, aside from thin provisioning and native replication. Check out the MD3000i. There is also the Promise product line that is priced very competitively. They don't all support multipathing, but may do the job for CCTV stuff. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] XBOX live, NAT, and UPnP
Reason number 5392 to not NAT your customers. Along those lines, who is rolling out a dual stack ipv6 network? On 8/2/10, Kurt Fankhauser k...@wavelinc.com wrote: So does anyone here have any customers that use XBOX live and bark to you about you NAT? Apparently the XBOX live service is very picky about being behind any NAT device and its ability to make connections to other servers. From what I gathered is that the LIVE service uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to get around this but the question I have is. If your doing masquerade on a Mikrotik Core Router should you enable UPnP on that device? Or should I just issue public IP's to the customer that games and let them worry about it? And if you have UPnP enabled on the core router and then do a double-NAT through the customers Linksys router with UPnP enable does that not work because of the double-NAT?
