try the two lower channels. what channel size are you using? Does the
customer have a 2.4gHz wireless router? Is this pattern totally
reproducible? I.e. what time does it start and what time does it stop?

Second RB and SR9, same symptoms.  I will try the modulation rates when 
it comes back stable or I can get to the customer site.

One way to tell...  force the card to use only the lowest modulation

This works on the xr9...  Not completely sure the sr9 responds the

I can certainly give them a different power supply. We use PACWireless 
24 volt supplies almost exclusively and this is the only one with an 
issue, but could be bad power. Cable is only about 30'.  The only other 
thing that may be different is installer did this one when it was about 
10*.  Might need to recrimp the CPE end.

Re: [WISPA] Flaky connection

I have xr9 cards that just suddenly keep dropping.  Replacing them
seems to fix it.

One way to tell...  force the card to use only the lowest modulation
level for Tx.  If card then stays associated, then very likely card
bad...

This works on the xr9...  Not completely sure the sr9 responds the
same way, but may be worth a try...

My first guess would be local noise on the CPE end. Second would be a
hardware issue.

I have used that, but not here.  
It is not an IP issue, the radios drop association due to excessive errors,
per the CPE.  I have never seen the AP drop the link in the log.

See what else in going on @ the CPE. 

Also - 

 

have you folks started using MTR instead of ping?

 

MTR is like a traceroute on steroids 

 

In short - it combines the functionality of the traceroute tool and ping
application together :-)

 

It shows you packet loss across the path in real time 

 

very simple to use - but a command line tool

Re: [WISPA] Flaky connection

2010-12-18 Thread John Vogel 
Make sure the client radio is getting enough voltage? I have seen 
similar things happen that were fixed with a higher voltage/amperage 
power supply. Does this install have a long cable run or anything 
different than the others that might affect the input power?

Re: [WISPA] Flaky connection

2010-12-18 Thread Scott Reed 

I have used that, but not here.
It is not an IP issue, the radios drop association due to excessive 
errors, per the CPE.  I have never seen the AP drop the link in the log.

have you folks started using MTR instead of ping?

MTR is like a traceroute on steroids

In short - it combines the functionality of the traceroute tool and 
ping application together :-)


It shows you packet loss across the path in real time

917 and 922 same results.
Nothing else on 900, except another one of our towers.  No confict.
Noise floor high 90s or better.

Yeah, I wondered about a  900MHz phone, but it works during the day and 
not an night.

what freq is this on? what size channels? Noise floor? HAve you tried to
do a freq scan to see if there's anything interfering. Did you try
changing channels? It could be related to something at the CPE location.

[WISPA] Flaky connection

2010-12-18 Thread Scott Reed 
I have a new customer that is giving us fits.
AP and CPE are both RouterOS with SR9.
11 Clients on the AP, this is the only one with problems.
I checked it several times today and it was running signal strength -65 
both ways and CCQ was always above 90, often saw 100.  Customer said the 
performance was great.
I called at dusk to say it quit working.  It did not work over night 
last night, either.  It will now connect with signals in the mid-60s and 
CCQ in the 70s.  Never stays linked more than 15 seconds.  Takes about 2 
seconds for it to come back.
The rest of the client radios are staying connected just fine.  Signals 
from -56 to -72.  CCQs are all 75+ when there is traffic on the link.
Any suggestions?
