Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Outdoor PoE

2015-08-06 Thread Chuck Enfield
I've been using the ITW Linx Surgate Cat-6 PoE to protect outdoor APs. I 
install them inside the building at the point of entry much like you would 
primary protection on a phone cable. I've been using their products to protect 
exposed data drops since the early 2000's without issue. Look out for 
installers neglecting to ground them though. I inspect every one of these after 
installation because it's been done wrong so many times. Without a good ground 
they're nearly useless.

Hector, 



Ironic that you sent this. Today we had a lightning strike and we lost 5 
cameras connected to a POE switch. At the time we figured it was a power outage 
but upon logging into the switch it looks like it rebooted and it didn’t past 
POST for POE. A minute later the switch went dead again. After replacing the 
switch only 3 cameras came back online. If only I had one of these at that 
pole! I’ve never had this happen before.

 I have a question that I hope someone can help me with.



 In the hope of saving money, my boss wants me to look at a cheaper
 alternative to the 3702i in areas that might not need a top of the line
 Access Point. In my comparison, I find the Aironet 2702i to have similar
 specs minus the 4x4 radio. Both support 802.11ac, Client Link 3.0, CleanAir
 2.0.  I don’t plan on using the Modular slot .



 I’ve read from limited sources that say the electrons are the same, and
 performance is neck and neck.  Can anyone debunk that?

IT Orientation information

2015-08-06 Thread Hinson, Matthew P
With the Fall term of the '15-'16 school year coming up, I'm interested to hear 
what the members of this group do in terms of communications to incoming 
students. Specifically, what IT resources are available, things you should NOT 
do (personal wireless routers, etc). I know it's always tough getting any 
useful information communicated to students as they are swamped by flyers and 
other things from every other department on campus.



I know that throughout the year, we often have students who honestly don't know 
that they shouldn't be on the open guest wireless network or similar.



So, has anyone found a particular method for communicating with the incoming 
students that they pay attention to and is effective?



Thank you,

Matthew Hinson

We went the same route. Started with the 3700’s but after deciding that we 
probably would not use the modular slot we switched to deploying 2700’s across 
campus – with the exception of 702w’s for the dorms.

6-month follow-up to Marriott/FCC Wifi blocking stories

2015-08-06 Thread Bob Brown
I'm looking to follow up on a series of stories we ran in late 2014/early 
2015http://www.networkworld.com/article/2879142/wireless/fcc-still-has-ton-of-explaining-to-do-on-wi-fi-blocking-rules.html
 on the Marriott Wifi blocking issue. To refresh, the FCC fined Marriott for 
blocking a Wifi hotspot (or hotspots) at one of its hotel convention centers.  
The incident sparked quite a bit of discussion on this listserv, as 
university/college network pros wondered whether their own Wifi 
management/security practices would now be considered legit and whether the 
products they were using could still be used.

*I've followed up with Marriott, whose CIO kicked me over to public relations, 
which naturally declined to comment.
*The hospitality industry trade group had said at the time of the FCC/Marriott 
decisions that it was going to launch a cybersecurity task force to study this 
topic further, but they haven't responded to my inquiries, so I'm not sure 
whether such a task force was formed and if so, whether it has accomplished 
anything.
*The FCC has been unresponsive on this matter entirely.
*I've contacted WLAN vendors that I spoke to for some of the original articles 
to see if anything has changed on their end since the start of the year and 
they haven't had much to say so far.

So, based on all this, I don't have much of an update to write about at this 
point...perhaps exactly what these parties would like.

But, I'm also wondering if any of you who were trying to figure out earlier 
this year what the FCC decision/Marriott response meant to you, have taken any 
new approaches to managing/security Wifi on your campuses. If so, and you'd be 
willing to share your story, please touch base (or feel free to share with the 
listserv if appropriate).
