[WISPA] I HATE Lightning!!!

[Jenco Wireless]

First storm of the year, early Monday morning (2-28), it wakes me up at 4
AM.  It damaged a lot of gear on a grain leg.  I remember a product that is
like an upside-down, copper, "Chia-Pet" that you can put on the top of a
tower to dissipate a lightning strike in to many smaller "hits".  I am ready
to buy some of these!!  Anyone ever used them, if so, do they work and where
did you get them??




Thanks!!

[WISPA] UBNT M2 AP's with Legacy CPE's - Tips and Tricks

[Jenco Wireless]

Hi List.  I am a "silent lurker" on the lists - I hardly ever post but I
learn so much from all of you.  A few weeks back someone tried to start a
thread about using M2 AP's with Tranzeo(??) CPE's.  There were no replies,
so for that gentleman, I would like to share my recent experiences and see
what all everyone else may have to offer.  My CPE-side Wi-Fi has always been
strictly the old Tranzeo TRCPE-200's and Senao CB3's (all Prism 2.5 chipset
stuff) - they just worked well for me.  Someone posted that he has not been
having any luck with this type of setup except for with UBNT's version 5.1.2
FW.  I agree.  Here are my other (non-scientific) findings

1)  I am using Bullet's for AP's (for now).  I always test their output
power with an old RF meter before implementing them.  There has been a lot
of variance on the output power (looks to happen in "batches").  Many output
about 20 dBi.  Some output 24 dBi.  A few put out about 26 dBi.  If you can
test them, use the higher power ones for your AP's and long shot CPE's.  I
have had lower power units that can't get a (CPE) connection, then I send
out a higher powered unit and will get a signal in the -68 range.

2) Set the max TX speed way down on the M2 AP until you can swap out all of
the legacy CPE gear.

3) I have been manually setting the ACK distance from info from other posts
- not sure if it's necessary but since I am not running the latest FW I am
going to keep doing so until I hear differently.

That's all I can think of for now.  Thanks List !!

Re: [WISPA] Barracuda outbounds SPAM filter any good?

[Jenco Wireless]

Kurt, I regularly check the Barracuda message log, searching for allowed and
white listed messages, with a subject that contains "return".  If there are
more than a few, I tell the customer they need to change their PW ASAP and I
do it for them if it continues another day.  Unfortunately, it only takes
one outbreak to get blacklisted.  Barracuda also has a setting that may help
you - go to advanced, then click on "Sender Spoof Protection".  I also
regularly block the top rate controlled and senders at my core router, as to
not allow them to even make it to the Barracuda.  If you come up with
anything else, please let us know..  The account hacking started being a
problem for me too a few months back, but so far these controls seem to be
helping a lot.

[WISPA] Dual Polarity 900 MHz Antennas

[Jenco Wireless]

Hi.  Anyone have any thoughts on using a dual polarity antenna (Til-Tek) as
opposed to the Canopy standard (6) Integrated AP setup??

Re: [WISPA] Australian WiMAX pioneer trashes technology as"miserablefailure"

[Jenco Wireless]

I have a local competitor who uses Wi-Max equipment - maybe even the brand
you mentioned (sorry - I don't want sued) - I have had calls from a customer
or two of theirs who are looking for something better.  I have no way of
knowing all of the details (signal strength, etc.), but at one of their
customers homes I did some testing and it really did look like crap (500-600
ms lag times).  I have been saying to myself for a long time, self - it's
all just hype until you see differently for yourself.  I may have been
right.  I like it when I'm right :-)

Re: [WISPA] 900 MHz 60 Degree Horizontal Polarization SectorRecommendation

[Jenco Wireless]

Hands down - I have tried most - Kathreine-Scala are AWESOME.  They are only
rated 72 degrees or so but they are so clean (F to B) that they will pick up
the clients outside that beam width at a higher throughput even with a
weaker signal.  I am rambling, but I highly recommend these antennas.

Please keep us posted on it - I have been wanting one since the day they
came out.  I have also been thinking about trying one of these:
http://www.metageek.net/products/wi-spy24x although it is nowhere near as
full featured.

Re: [WISPA] RB333 enclosures

[Jenco Wireless]

Hi Mac.  If the RB-333 is about the same size as the RB-600, I use the 14 x
12.  It's a little tight - I vent them myself so I can change the
orientation - the RB would probably fit better the way they have them vented
though.

Re: [WISPA] Bumblebee???? R52H WOES

[Jenco Wireless]

Hi Mac.  I think I paid a little over $500 a couple of years ago.  I really
wish their UMPC based spectrum analyser was a little less - I just can't
justify the cost on it ($4,500 with a Samsung Q1) - but the power meter has
paid for itself in headache relief.

Re: [WISPA] Bumblebee???? R52H WOES

[Jenco Wireless]

http://www.bvsystems.com/Products/Power/Butterfly/butterfly.htm

Worth every penny.  I have tested one or two of the R52H cards.  The power
levels across the frequencies and bands is very impressive as far as how
even they are.  I will warn you - if you mess with (turn up) the power
settings you WILL blow them up - almost instantly.  They are set to run as
high as they can with the default settings in MT - also - you really need to
never ever power one on if you don't have an antenna or terminal resistor
hooked up.  These cards put out more power on 5GHz than the Senao 8602H or S
models.  I would recommend getting one of these meters and setting the Tx
down a dB or two for "safety" (make sure you check the performance) - you
need the meter becaust the default settings in MT don't always match -
although I believe they are real close on these cards.

Re: [WISPA] Any Trango Command Line Experts?

[Jenco Wireless]

Thanks guys.  I was trying to do this to my backup unit - it just won't
take.  I finally gave in a the command did work on the main SM.  Probably
need to do a firmware update or something first - which would never fly now
due to all of the dropped packets.

Thanks,

Brad H

Here is where I am at:

from telnet window, typing "eth link 10fdx" and it returns:

Eth0 100FDX detected

I have tried every combination I can think of.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated!!

Re: [WISPA] AntiVirus Sortware

[Jenco Wireless]

Consumers Reports just rated them really low, plus I just heard a guy at a
PC store talking about it in a bad way.  I Googled Airship F4 (it's an RC
toy) and one of the links on the first page turned out to be a porn site.  I
didn't even hardly check out the site ;-) but when i (finally ;-) went to
leave it it wanted me to click "OK" to install something.  Sorry for all the
tech lingo.  Anyway, it wouldn't let me exit the install window so I
restarted my PC, when it came back up I had the old missing system file
screen of death.

Re: [WISPA] 36" guyed tower

[Jenco Wireless]

I bet that once most people tried one of these towers, they would like it
!!!
(Assuming they are about 5'6").
I do tie off, but it would be difficult to fall far enough to get seriously
hurt
do to basically being inside a cage, not that it can't be done !!
(I know, famous last words - you don't have to say it).

The link is to a pic of the tower with a bigger guy climbing the inside (not
me):

Re: [WISPA] 36" guyed tower

[Jenco Wireless]

I always tie off, even on the inside.  It is just so easy to climb on the
inside.  The 36" size is perfect because I can just lean back when I need a
break.  This particular tower has a lot of horizontal bars and everything is
round and welded - nothing to really catch on.  It's like it was designed
for easy climbing.


Thanks,

Brad H

Re: [WISPA] How much does FCC certification cost?

[Jenco Wireless]

I wonder if the new revision 5 RB 532's addressed this issue?





On 6/10/07, Travis Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


No. It is emissions from the DC to DC converter on the board. With no
cards and no ethernet connection, using just a power supply, it can emit
up to +30db of noise in both of those bands.

I have setup several tests with our spectrum analyzer. The board uses a
very cheap DC to DC converter.

We shut down several HAM operators and even the regional ambulance
two-way radio system (and our tower was 300ft away from their tower). We
switched to 18v PoE instead of 48v PoE and that stops 90% of the noise
at 450mHz. However, there is still substantial noise at 145mHz, but the
HAM guys can work around that.

The board will never pass FCC certs. Mikrotik knows it, thus the reason
they never responded to emails and they _deleted_ the message thread on
their forum that I created over a year ago. :(

Re: [WISPA] FM Radio and Ethernet

[Jenco Wireless]

I forgot to mention, most of the lightning damage (more than 90 percent) I
have had has been after long periods with no rain, so the clay had a lot of
time to dry out and turn in to an insulator.  One Summer my main tower and
about 10 percent of my clients were destroyed from one lightning storm.  It
had been really dry before this storm.

There's been a lot of talk in here about how to ground the towers.  I
hope everybody's actually read up on the topic, but just in case someone
isn't, get a book.  Don't guess.

Proper grounding is hard.  It's expensive.

One such book is put out by PolyPhaser.  It's obviously biased toward
using their gear.  It's only $20 and has more math than you're probably
interested in.  But there are a lot of little things to consider.

The ARRL also has a three part series, in PDF, about lightning
protection.  They are free.

If you want to experiment with grounded vs. ungrounded, may I suggest
you put strike counters on both sets of towers?  That's the only way
you will know if you are just lucky, or your ground system/strategy is
working.

My first tower (50') was hit three times the first spring it was up.
Lots of little bits and pieces of electronics to sweep up each time.
We didn't know how little we knew about proper ground systems.  Three
ground rods and #4 ground wire ought to be great, right?

Got the book.  Figured out that we were doing a lot of stupid things.
Went from 3 to 6 ground rods.  Tweaked a few other things.  It's been
two years without surge related outage.  No strike counter on it yet so
I can't prove that the upgrades helped yet.

Just to counter the "clay makes insulators", clay is the best soil you
could want for a ground system.  You have to bake the water out of the
clay before you get an insulator.  In the ground, clay hangs onto water
which help conductivity.

Be careful, whatever you do.

Re: [WISPA] FM Radio and Ethernet

[Jenco Wireless]

After many hits, I ungrounded, added inductance and lots and lots of surge
suppression (not little ethernet supressors) - my experience (or luck) has
been that it is better to un-ground.  My location has 100 percent clay soil
(clay was used as an insulator in the old days), so that may be a factor.

   This site has been up for 2 years with no issues. The luck factor has a

Re: [WISPA] fm towers

Nearly 40 dB of variations in the link S/N ratio? Holy cat crap, Batman!



How accurate is the test equipment yielding that measurement? SNR
variations
of 40 dB means four orders of magnitude in signal levels relative to the

link
isn't stable!



Frankly I'm not inclined to trust the accuracy of those measurements
over-much; it's been my experience that few people own or even have access
to the kind of test equipment (like Network Vector Analyzers and Power
Meters) required to properly trouble shoot microwave systems. But there
obviously IS a problem.



OK, now for the (hopefully) helpful part: My hunch is that the FM
broadcast
signal, being in relatively close proximity to your antenna mount, is
generating harmonics or other spurious energy of sufficient power to
overload the front end of your radio. (Sharp Q, ultra-deep microwave
filters
are expensive and I'd be very surprised if your radio was so equipped).



So, the question before you is: How important is this site to your overall
network? Is it worth the expense of having a properly trained and equipped
microwave field engineer find and characterize the problem, and suggest
some
options for corrective measures?



Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but sometimes there aren't any easy
answers
to difficult problems .

Re: [WISPA] Ohio-based Slane Telcom Acquires WISPs to Satisfy Consumer Demand

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- As more consumers turn their
backs on traditional landline telephone service, analysts see Internet
telephony going mainstream in the next two years. Projections indicate
there will be 32 million Internet phone lines while traditional
residential landlines will fall from about 114 million last year to
about 88 million by 2009, according to Gartner Research.

Ohio-based Slane Telcom is capitalizing on this trend by acquiring
Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and deploying Motorola's
Canopy wireless broadband technology to deliver high-speed Internet and
Internet telephony services across the U.S. Slane's 2006 acquisition of
a partial ownership stake in Plannet Group of Columbus, Ohio positioned
the companies to offer Ohio's first completely wireless transport system
offering Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Services. The company
intends to replicate this model in all planned acquisitions.

As part of Slane Telcom's aggressive growth path, it has signed a master
agreement with American Tower, which provides access to 24,000 towers
across the country. O'Connor has successfully completed four
acquisitions of fixed wireless providers in the past two years including
eSedona, the largest ISP in Sedona, Arizona. He projects three more
deals will be completed in 2007.

With more than 4,000 subscribers, Slane is quickly becoming one of the
largest WISPs in the U.S.

Hi Paul.  I chose this model for an FM tower and the total amount of inductance.  They work fine for PoE as well.  After using these, I was able to get my Ethernet speed increased from 10 Mbps to 100 on several different devices on this tower, so they definitely worked for that.

Re: [WISPA] lightning

[Jenco Wireless]

Good point - also, I forgot to mention the other reason I lost so many CPE's - don't leave a big roll if extra cable - that lowers the impedance.

on a ground wire since that's where you want the lightning's current togo.  Because its current has such a fast rise and fall time, lightningbehaves like ac or rf.  That's why ground wires are supposed to be as
straight as possible, and if you have to bend it, you should make theradius of the bend as large as you can.  A tight bend acts as a coil(increased impedance) and will cause the lightning to look for a better
path.  Ferrite beads do the same thing.  By putting a ferrite on thecables, you still let your signals through, but it looks less invitingfor the lightning.JasonJenco Wireless wrote:> Contrary to popular belief, lightning likes to follow the path of

Contrary to popular belief, lightning likes to follow the path of least inductance.  Inductance is the resistance to a change in current flow.  All I can say is that they have worked for me.

I lost 15% of my CPE's one year.  It was a dry Summer (I theorize the earth was not conducting well), then we had a couple of bad storms.  Using  a $1.50 inductor on the Ethernet cable near the radios really seems to have helped a lot.

Re: [WISPA] RouterBoard 532s

[Jenco Wireless]

I am waiting on this also (the noise issue from the power supply is what I am assuming you are talking about).  I have had various issues with a couple of "old" 532's I got when they first came out (Ethernet connectivity to a Tranzeo unit on a 250' run).  I have had good luck with the 100 series, but maybe because I just happened to use low voltage PoE.  I don't want to try another 532 until I hear there is a resolution the the RF noise issue, because I have made the assumption that this is related to the issue I had.  I wonder why the thread is gone, if its not in the archives.  I made a post once that they did not agree with and it got removed.  Just saying  BTW - I have a lot of respect for Mikrotik and think they have a truly superior product, so I am not trying to "bad mouth" them in any way.  I just didn't like my thread getting removed (I must have taken it personally).

Get a test meter.  I got one from BVS Systems and LOVE it !  Roger Peters has had great piggies in the past.  I just tested a UFL from Wisp-Router and it was 2 dB better than anything else (UFL) I have tried, but it was only 5" long, so I am sure that has something to do with the better "review".  Once you have tested a few radio cards and pigtails with this meter, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

Re: [WISPA] Pigtails..... and 5.8GHz low power....

[Jenco Wireless]

Get a test meter.  I got one from BVS Systems and LOVE it !  Roger Peters has had great piggies in the past.  I just tested a UFL from Wisp-Router and it was 2 dB better than anything else (UFL) I have tried, but it was only 5" long, so I am sure that has something to do with the better "review".  Once you have tested a few radio cards and pigtails with this meter, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

What is the most reliable Network card, I have been using 3com 905c, for my MT server, they are discontinued.  What would you all recommend?  
 
I don't want to have to buy 5 cheap ones and keep replacing till I get one that works, I've been changing-out a lot of gear this winter.  Bad choices on my part.  Another story, another time.

Re: [WISPA] Pigtail source?

[Jenco Wireless]

I believe he is correct.  Here is a link: http://jeffcosoho.com.  I hope this is Roger Peters, but from this link I get MMCX piggies that are 3-4 dB better than any others I have tried.  I also like their Ufl piggies.  They are not 3dB better, but they really snap on tight and stay put.

Re: [WISPA] FM tower co-location

I tried to run just 24V up on a big cable, then my components started
failing.  Had to switch back to 48V with a DC to DC converter (the
converters are awesome filters !!).

Re: [WISPA] FM tower co-location

I have.  The station on the same tower as me is not a super high power
station - I think they broadcast at 12,000 watts (we have one close
that does 75,000 Watts) !!  The RF engineer for the station told me
that 40' was safe for short exposure.  I have some gear closer to 12'
away.  They are required to turn down the power if you are going to be
close.  I don't want to ask them to do that too much (I am sure with
the rent they pay they can dictate terms to the tower owners, if they
are not the owners (not sure)).  I bought an RF radiation suit. 
Unless I am going to be very close for a long period (hours), I just
work in the suit.  I also had a Narda RF monitor, until it had a 460'

Re: [WISPA] TRANGO- changes history

I was a HUGE Trango "basher" on another list.  I had the water
problems with the 5830 units.  I can say that after making me mad as
hell in the past, they do seem to have made improvements.  They
repaired some of my old (out of warranty) units at no charge and even
sent me a rebate for one that they charged me to repair a long time
ago.

About $500 plus shipping.  I use mine all the time !!!  Seriously,
just got done checking some cards from an AP that got hit by lightning
a few days ago (yes, in January !).  It is so nice to know for sure
they are OK and I can reuse with piece-of-mind.  The PoE suppressor
did its job this time (last time I lost everything).

You may want to look at www.bvsystems.com.  Their "BumbleBee" unit
does 900, 2.4, and 5.8.  It interfaces with a PDA, so that gives you
an idea of the size.  I don't own one yet, but I will (hopefully)
someday soon.  I do have their "Butterfly" power meter and I wouldn't
give it up for anything now that I have one !!

Wow.  For the rental price on some of those you can buy one from BVS
Systems.  I rented one (I can't remember the name but it was an
expensive unit) for $250 per week from Wave Rider.  If I remember
right (it has been a while), it at least covered 900 and 2.4.  You
should probably have some antennas of your own ready to go for testing
when you get the unit.  It is a big and expensive unit, so don't plan
on carrying it up a tower !
