 While I understand your reasoning, I would disagree. If you could do this, 
 for the security of a WISP, we will shut down all 
Access Points via Deauth attack that my Access Points can see. Also note, I am 
not talking for the FCC, but for what I believe is 
right, in this case, you can’t own a location or area of the wifi bands, 
therefore, you can’t cause harmful interference, and a 
deauth attack would be harmful, and interference. 
 
 I can agree that you can detect it and shut it off on a port on your network, 
 but you should not be able to interfere with other 
operations, regardless if it is your property or not. Maybe that’s not the 
intent from those actions, but it’s clear that if it’s 
not on your network then you can’t do much about it. Now, if they are on your 
property, sure you can tell them to turn it off or 
leave, but that’s another issue. lol

 In reading that second one, they also keep bringing up that Marriott charged

 Specifically, such employees had used this capability to prevent users from 
 connecting to the Internet via their own personal

 Sounds like security is a viable defense.

 Can you post a picture of the outlet and of the power cord recptical on your

While this should work in theory you cannot assume that
neutral and ground are the same. The farther you get from the service
the greater the possibility that neutral varies from ground, and if
you have a corroded junction somewhere between your location and the bonding 
point
you can have significant voltage on neutral. Just try and make digital
equipment work if your feed 5-10 volts AC in on the ground.

To do this properly requires an isolation transformer to separately derive the 
source and
a new bonding point or better yet a four wire source pigtail where neutral and 
ground are
separately presented on the plug. (Be careful about over current protection.)

I've had to do this in a remote locations with 240 V generator.
I used a one-to-one isolation transformer with a center tap. The primary is 
connected to
the two hot legs. The secondary center tap is bonded to earth ground and both 
neutral
and ground originate at that point. 110 is present on either end of the 
secondary relative
to the center tap.
The whole thing has to go to a fuse/breaker box for protection. All in all if 
there is
service anywhere close it's easier and cheaper to hire an electrician to drop a 
110
receptacle close by. Fires and/or electrocuted kids/pets are a PR problem of 
the first order.

 Cloud core.  There is a difference between having a hot (80-250v),
 a neutral and a ground, vs. a neutral and two 120v hots.  I
 believe the router can handle more than 120v but not in the sense
 that its being delivered on two 120v legs with a neutral and no

 So a question for the masses.  We are selling VoIP services and the number
 of Support Calls we get about poor performance is more than I would expect.
 Our basic setup is UBNT backhauls and APs, Mikrotik infrastructure routers,

 choppiness and other issues, and I wanted to see what others are using
 successfully.  I am currently making a test procedure to try to find out
 where the issue is, but if anybody has success stories and example setups
 that would be great.
 

We've been doing VOIP across dsl, dedicated and wireless circuits for years.
It's a fairly simple engineering task that is very detail oriented. Jitter is
the killer. I have and am using Cisco, Force 10, Mikrotik, UBNT, Radwin
and MRV equipment. They all work but you have to look for any possible spot
where there can be congestion and plan a way through. Mikrotik's are 
particularity
difficult because they don't re-order packets. You make room by throwing 
something
else away. Like everything Mikrotik it takes some middle to both edges thinking.

Regularly sniff your voice traffic and be sure that the dscp/tos codes are 
there. Some
switches/ providers will remove them. You can build an entire network with a
pristine voice channel in it to find your voip running best effort. I have had
that happen more than once.

Also remember adding bandwidth on one link can create two or more new 
congestion points
someplace else. details, details, details but once you get it right it's 
something to behold.

 
 
 I know that is a rather broad question, but I want to make this work and get
 our Support Calls down.

[WISPA] magnetic sector panel mount

2014-04-01 Thread lar
Hi all,

I am looking for a magnetic mount that can be used on a sector panel for
use on a municipal metal water tank. The sector panels will be for ubiquity.
Sector panel model not chosen yet.  The catch 22 is that we experience
high winds. We have sustained winds of 40-60 mph with occasional gusts in
the 70-80 mph range on a few days each year. (like 30 or 40)

Anybody know of something that is strong enough to work?


Any info or experience is appreciated. Thanks.

 Which solution is best for the customer depends on how they use fax and how 
critical it is.
 
 I just uploaded my FCC Comments on the ATT experiment, one which proposes 
that fax capabilities be lost.  I pointed out that fax is sometimes used for 
reasons that distinguish it from email: Security and privacy (no middle man 
server), knowledge of receipt (not just to a mailbox), and reliability (no 
servers, no attachments).

I don't want to start a long thread about fax but --RANT Fax over copper was 
never
either secure or private. The transmission always was fairly easy to intercept 
if
you were snooping on a particular individual/business. Plus, you have no idea 
who
walks up to the recipient fax machine which I maintain should disqualify it 
for both
the legal and medical communities. Some of the old time phone phreaks
used to have the CO automatically bridge lines to a cable pair that they had 
acquired
during call setup. (Hopefully they were all chased out of the system some time 
ago)
Fax is a loose standard and should have died out a decade ago. (IMHO) A 
peer-to-peer
encrypted, standards based system would have been the likely result and this 
silliness
about supporting analog fax would go away. /RANT That said both of the 
methods mentioned
in this thread work about as well as traditional copper which is less than 
100%. Even
on copper expect a few customer calls.


  Internet fax is actually the worst of both worlds, 
putting fax in series with email.  So it's useful if you get the occasional 
fax from someone who can't scan documents otherwise, but it's not useful if 
you use fax the way pharmacies, doctors, and courts do.
 
 Since VoIP doesn't support modems or fax, if they need real fax, they need a 
way to extend the signal (dial tone) to the new site. This can't just run 
over best efforts IP.  But there are systems that do the timing and 
buffering to enable TDM to be reliably emulated across a wireless link (I 
suggest using a high-priority VLAN and no public IP).  We're using the RAD 
IPmux series. We're putting them in to replace T1s, for instance, to support 
fire department voting receivers (very quality critical) across Ethernet 
radios.  Not exactly cheap, but it's a nice tool.  They are available with 
different types of interfaces.

 USF rules are pretty strict.  If a USF-subject class of carrier has
 interstate telecommunications revenues (not Internet per se) that would
 subject it to USF payments of $10k/year, then it is de minimis and does
 not pay.  BUT then its suppliers treat it as retail and they pay on the
 services supplied to the de minimis carrier.  Once the carrier crosses out
 of de minimis, it suppliers must verify that it is paying USF, and then
 should not charge it USF on their wholesale sales.  So it's paid once, only
 once, by the last non-de mimimis carrier en route to the retail customer.
 (Disclaimer: IANAL and that's just my understanding.)

 E911 is a state requirement.  Interconnected VoIP services have to do it,
 but the state sets the price.

 We've been seeing a strange problem on a network we operate that has a 
 lot of (mostly old) Motorola PTP400 radios on it.  These use the 
 Motorola PIDU POE injector.  They're connected to HP Procurve and Cisco 
 3550 switches.
 
 The problem is that some radios literally kill the switch ports. 
 Sometimes it begins with alignment and CRC errors on the switch ports.  
 But then the port might fail, and the radio has to be plugged into 
 another port... until it fails.  It's an odd failure mode too; the 3550 
 thinks the port is OK, and sees it as going up and down as the PIDU is 
 attached and detached, but it doesn't pass packets.
 
 The fix is to insert a small dumb switch to isolate the 3550 from the 
 PTP, but that's kind of a nasty hack.  Ciscos seem somewhat more 
 susceptible than HPs, but we're migrating towards the venerable Ciscos 
 because they are more manageable. We think we have the speed and duplex 
 matching right.  And while we can't be sure, the cabling in most cases 
 looks okay.
 
Hi Fred,

I don't have that radio but I've had port problems from time to time.

I noted that you said the switch showed the port as up but;

On the Cisco Switch, if you do a 'show interface status' does the
switch port show status of err-disabled?

If it does you might look at

I'd like to add http://www.zahninc.com/ to the list.
Well built and fairly inexpensive in the step-up,step-downat lower wattages.

  andDCDC6350-S-ADJ 50 Amp Voltage Regulator monster to Regulate
 48 - 60 Volts. ($407)

They have a wide range of devices that they design and manufacture. Most have
a degree of adjustability to tweak to your requirements. David Zahn's designs 
are
conservative so they will do everything that they say. The downside is that 
you have
to convince David Zahn that your not going to burn up his device before he 
will sell the first
one to you. (know how much current you need and leave some room for startup 
surge current)

As a small guy I try to support the other small guys like David Zahn when

I have changed from 24V supplies to 48V supplies a couple of years ago
since the 24V load was a lot less than the 48V one. (Now if the world would
standardize on +48 or -48.)

DC-DC converters work very well if you keep them inside there power envelope.

 That has been true, but it seems like the cell world has been moving to
 48V lately.
 Examples:
 Alvarion carrier WiMax (2.5Ghz), macro and micro uses 48V (maybe you can
 get it in 24V, the stuff I've seen has all been 48V)
 With packet optical, if you put a Cyan box in that uses 24V you
 need separate linecard spares as they aren't compatible with the 48V stuff
 in core.
 More microwave backhauls are at 48V. Newer all-outdoor ones are using POE+
 / 802.3at which is 48V.
 Cisco ASR901S pole-mount routers output POE+ so you have one outdoor box
 to take your fiber and go to microwave to other sites.
 Most Ethernet switches are AC or -48DC.

 The commercial wireless world (cell sites) is all 24 volt.  The wireline
 world is 48 volt.  So I can see why they would use 24 volts, but 48 is
 usually only for central office buildings, where there is no radio gear
 except, perhaps, some old-fashioned fixed microwave.  A handful of
 competitive players are doing microwave collocation in COs, but given
 the cost, a power converter would be the least of their worries.

  Exactly...   UBNT looks more and more like a company trying less and
  less to stay out in front of the competition but locking in their
  customers...   Very apple-ish...   h   Robert was at apple...

  Hi Josh
 
  I did not notice the voltage change, but it looks like more a
  business strategy (their switch does 24V and 48V) to lockout other
  vendors than a real technical need
 
  Should I reimplement again a new battery system at 48V for the
  site? Hum
 
  Thank you
 
 
  Ya...better.  Different voltage though.

  Hi all
 
  I was wondering if the Rockets-Titanium are stable, or if
  somebody is using them with success. Not sure if they perform
  better than the plastic ubiquiti
 
  Still missing the multiple SSID and IPv6 support, who knows if
  Ubiquiti will implement that sooner or later...
 
  Let me know your feedback and if the extra cost worths the
  improvements :)
 
  Thank you
