Hmm, interesting. Is it only for the WRAP platform? L7 will kill that throughput on a WRAP. I guess all it needs is a modified version of Madwifi and we have another StarOS/Mikrotik/IkarusOS platform ;) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dylan Oliver

For StarOS we use MRTG and Starutil. You should be able to graph anything that Starutil can provide. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Scrivner Sent: 03 November 2005 17:33 To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] Tracking Signal / Noise

StarOS isn't great for SNMP but Starutil works really well for various stuff. We have been using it to graph with MRTG the signal levels for individual clients and backhaul links as well as throughput. Cheers, P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

[WISPA] 5GHz interference

2005-10-28 Thread Paul Hendry
Hi guys and gals, Just seeing if anyone has any advise when mounting more than 1 antenna in the same frequency range on a tower. We have just installed a 5.8GHz 120” vert sector at about 47m. Already on the same side of the tower @ 42m is a 2 foot vert dish also running 5.8GHz.

Tom, You say that connection tracking is on. I advised you to turn this of (i.e untick all the boxes in the connection tracking sub menu). To give an example, we have a 28km link with WRAP's/CM9's/5.8GHz at each end. Signal sits at around -71 (qual 24) and we hard set the rate on both end

Or with StarOS you need to run a VDS tunnel over your wireless link then bridge the Ethernet to the VDS interface. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Smith Sent: 29 September 2005 03:31 To: WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA]
