John,

The part that is causing disbelief for me is the deadline is only days away
and I haven't seen this solution or the costing for the solution.

I personally do not believe that any CALEA can be cost effective. Quite
simply, solving CALEA requires spending money without earning any
additional revenue. The only way to justify the CALEA expense is to accept
it as a cost of doing business. This means simply that your market
opportunity is lost if you aren't CALEA compliant. I firmly believe every
service provider should have plans for being CALEA compliant or have plans
for exiting the business. This one is different than E911; the liability
will be staggering.

Matt,
We look forward to proving that this thinking is wrong. What part of 
CALEA compliance is it that makes you think we cannot develop a low cost 
and reasonable solution which will not break the bank?

Good grief guys, there are only 12 new filings in the last week or so!!

Why, in the name of God, would the FCC give a rats behind about our industry

if we can't be bothered to talk to them?

Listen, the new rules get made according to the WRITTEN record!  Our trips 
to the FCC are great and we both learn a lot, but when it comes time to make

regulations they go to the paperwork that's been filed!

EVERYONE here needs to file personally.  Here's my confirmation

Just go to this link:

Put 04-186 in the top left box and follow the instructions to voice your 
opinions on what the FCC should do with the soon to be opened up tv 
bands!  All you have to do is till them to make the bands unlicensed, no

auctions, no registration etc.  Say more if you want, but we really need to 
drive home the unlicensed idea.

Get off your hind ends guys!

Well I did a bit of searching on the trango support forums and found a
thread of someone with a similar problem. Trango support made a
recommendation to turn off the maclist filter off on the RU. I went a head
and turned it off on the RU's, telnet in and issue maclist filter off
command. I did this last night sometime and have not had any issues as of
yet. Since last week sometime I was having to reboot the BH's twice a day or
more. I will see what happens with it and if this doesn't do it I will let
you guys know.

Funny thing about this is that about a week ago I was thinking to myself
damn those link 10's have ran good the last few years. I was an early
adopter of the link 10 and had nothing but issues with them for the first 6
months or so after release, I felt like a beta tester. Once they fixed
software bugs though they have ran well, until now that is.

Problems like this make you realize how quickly and unexpectedly things can
take a crap on you with little or no changes to your network.

Thanks again for the help.

   That is a Trango command and it does turn arp off. I have both worlds
 here

 that
 to me. I am not saying that's not your problem - I am just saying I have
 never had that issue. We have many more than 300 traversing Tlink10

 Chadd,
 
 We experienced similar issues when our network was entirely bridged.  The
 root of the problem turned out to be the ARP table in the Trangos we were
 using as are primary BHs.
 
 Once the number of clients behind the Trangos exceeded a certain limit the
 ARP table gets corrupted.  Trango does not have a fix for this issue.
 
 As a temporary fix you can set up a script to reset the ARP table in the
 Trangos on a regular basis.  The command line for the 5800 and 5830 units
 is
 maclist reset.
 
 We have moved to a mostly routed network which has greatly reduced the
 number of MAC addresses seen by the Trangos.  This fixed the problem.

[WISPA] Advice on Legal Options for Competitor Interference

2006-02-13 Thread Todd Barber








I have had equipment deployed on a local water tank for
about the last two years. The setup has been sectorized and using 3 120
degree 2.4 GHz channels since we deployed. I also have 4 5.8 GHz links
running and one 5.3 GHz. Basically this site is vital to my network and I
have used a large chunk of the unlicensed spectrum.



About a year ago another company deployed a 5.8 GHz backhaul
link and a 2.4 GHz omni on the residence that is approximately 100 yards away
from the tank. Their initial deployment created 2.4 GHz interference with
my existing customers and I squeezed my existing sectorized channels together
to get away from it. Ive been using 4, 7, and 11 while they have
been deployed on 1.



In the past I have used a spectrum analyzer to evaluate the
signals from both my site and theirs. I believe all of my equipment is
running right at 36 dB as allowed by law for point to multipoint. When
measured with the same antenna from the same distance, their signal is
approximately 7 dB higher than mine. In addition to the excessive power
it also appears the amp they are using is dirty and the channel width is wider
than anything I am running. 



Their initial deployment really upset me as their lack of
engineering judgment or just plain stupidity created issues for my customers
who had reliable links before. I couldnt believe that anyone would
choose to deploy 2.4 GHz within a hundred yards of an existing installation
that was already using the entire spectrum. I have tolerated the
situation and dealt with the interference on my lower channel by over
engineering any links to that sector. I have also had my backhaul link
performance intermittently knocked off line after they changed channels on
their 5.8 GHz equipment. 



During the backhaul interference issue I contacted the
company and give them credit for working with me to resolve the issue.
During that conversation they informed me they were more than willing to
coordinate with me and would notify me if they were changing channels.



Over the last few weeks I have been fighting with numerous
troublesome client connections on two different sectors that had been running
without issue. Today I went to the tank to upgrade the remaining 2 APPO
units to a StarOS WRAP setup in an effort to improve performance. 



When I arrived I found that my competitor has now installed
a 50 ft. pole and has deployed an additional 4 radios on it. Needless to
say I immediately understood why so many of my customers were experiencing
issues. I also see that the competitor was really sincere about
contacting me around channel usage. 



My questions are what are my legal options, has anyone dealt
with this type of situation before (deployment within 100 yards), and what kind
of lawyer should I contact (any referrals are welecome)? With the current
heavy usage of spectrum at this site I do not believe there is any option of
lets play nice and coordinate channels. There arent any left
to coordinate and they were all used before they deployed. I dont
feel I have any option but legal action. 



From past list discussions I am under the impression that
there may be the non FCC involved option of filing interfering with my
ability to conduct business suit. Any comments on this would be
greatly appreciated. 



I also believe I may have recourse with the FCC. I am
confident they are exceeding the legal EIRP on their amped omni as one
issue. I also question if their behavior could be construed as intentionally
causing interference. Knowingly deploying within 100 yards of an existing
site that is already utilizing the spectrum seems to create a situation that
can not avoid interference. If they didnt know at the time of
their initial deployment they were made aware of exactly what spectrum was
being used since via voice and email exchanges. Even if they are not
competent enough to use a spectrum analyzer they had been informed of both the
existing and potential for further interference issues before the deployment of
the new additional 4 radios I found today. Im not really sure I
want to go down this path but again I dont believe they have left me any
other options. How do I begin a conversation with the FCC related to this
situation?



Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.

think I can, though, he's probably looking more for backhaul stats than
for individual customer APs.)

Trango supposedly does, but even their own forums are filled with people
who can't make any sense out of Trango's provided MIBs and such. (I can
usually get one-shot queries with snmpwalk and similar tools to work,
but
when you put the exact same parameters into an MRTG configuration file,
I
get back nothing but crazy bizarre errors. The fact that Trango changes
their MIBs between hardware versions and occasionally even between
firmware releases only compounds the problem.)

At the risk of derailing (sorry, boss), has anyone gotten MRTG or
something similar (PRTG, Denika, or whatever) to reliably track
*anything*
on a Trango?

Thank you Paul. This is exactly what I was looking for in regard o 
customer links. If we take a service call it would be nice to see what a

customer's historical data has been in regard to signal levels, 
bandwidth used, etc. It sounds like you hit this one right on the head. 
Doing the same for Trango would be sweet also. I do not know what the 
Trangolink-10 is that was referenced earlier as a solution to tracking

details on Trango.. Can anyone elaborate on how to graph these things on

Trango? I need links to actual data if you guys do not mind.
Thanks guys,

StarOS isn't great for SNMP but Starutil works really well for various

individual clients and backhaul links as well as throughput.

For reference, in the network Scriv is describing, there's a nasty
mixture
of gear. Backhaul is primarily Trango (though that's likely to change
at
some point), and the customer APs are all either StarOS running on
RouterBoard 200 hardware, or realy old Lucent APs with Karlnet
software installed.

StarOS doesn't export a lot of the data we're looking for, as far as I
and
my copy of snmpwalk can tell. (If I can read my boss's mind as well as

RE: [WISPA] Filing for FCC form 477

2005-08-23 Thread Todd Barber
I filled this out in Feb of this year.  Is this a twice a year
requirement?  Do I need to file again for 2005?

Did you understand 90% of it?  We skipped a ton.  And I sent a note to
the 
FCC asking if a more isp centric form could be created.

 For those of you in the states...remember that you have to file form
477 
 with the FCC by September 1.

 Here is a link to the form:

 http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html#477

 Took me about 30 minutes to get mine done.
