Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
We did something similar with the pivot Dewalt flashlight. Since we use the 18v drills, it worked perfectly. Took the flashlight part off, and left the handle with the switch. Connected a cat5 keystone jack...whittled out the hole where the flashlight head used to be. Now we have a handle with a keystone sticking out the top. If we want to power a Motorola, we use a straight through cable. If we power Mikrotik, we use a short 2" jumper with a keystone at one end (reverse the power blue/brown pairs) so it is a Male Female extension. I don't have pictures, but with Moto, just power the unit with headphones for a site-survey...Takes like 10 minutes if that. Not lugging computers around.

Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
I would not need more than 2 portable units myself, because I have a small tech staff. Its not really a price issue per unit to me because of that. But if you were to created a partnumber/product of it, I'd guess $30 would be a reasonable street price for something like that, to be attractive enough for every WISP tech to want to buy one.. Unless, it equally worked as a splitter inside cases to feed external relay radios. Then I could see it being used in higher volume.

If there is a demand for it, we could manufacture some of them. I typically make them. What would you be willing to pay? $10-15 depending on quantity?

Do you sell or have a source for a SOLID cable assembly that is pinned out that way, that is durable to last carring around in the field? We custom punch down similar cable solutions inside enclosures when we want to extend a second ethernet port to an external relay radio, but have to inject power to it. Its all solid secure and tied down inside the case, but not sure they'd stay togeather well, just taking a raw jack and punching it to a cable. For business, this doesn't help, because the goal is to connect to the radio without taking the customer down. But for busness we already justified cost of an standalone large case for a 433AH. For residential, your solution should work really well, because the residential user is not home, the reason for needing to connect at the radio, and therefore no problem with taking down the system to connect the Maintenance cable. (3c) Note, when I said Rootenna, I did not really mean Rootena. I look at Rootenna as being a style not brand. I really meant "integrated enclosure". I agree, I really like the ARC entegrated enclosures. I'll add When we realized Rootennas were too flimbsy for our purpose (its a comapny image thing), we looked for higher quality. We found that super high quality with the Teletronic Integrated Enclosures that was also a low price. But we actually stopped using them that much, atleast for residential. The reason is that it was to hard to remove the enclosure from the antenna, in the field, without accidentally breaking the Pigtail, or UFl connector off the mCPI card. It was hard to HOLD the heavy case and antenna both, while unscrewing, and sometimes, that pigtail got yanked. What I like about the ARC system is that that is NOT the case with the ARC. They are sturdy and quality, but because they are squared off in shape and a bit smaller and lighter, its much easier to disassemble in the field, without damaging pigtails.

Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
We used to ground them when we were using Trango CPE with Canopy SS300. For business and Mikrotik we do, because PVC outside, and Plenum inside, so need the junction anyway. But now with Mikrotik residnetial style outdoor equipment, and connecting to cheap indoor SOHO router, its so darn inexpensive for a CPE, its not worth the time or cost to grounding the CAT5 outdoors anymore. IF we use a Metal Mast for mounting, we still Ground the Mast for lightning protection. As well, with Residential, The CAT5 often needs to get run straight into the attic or sophet.

Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
Try #3 in sending this with a link removed. We guarantee our workmanship in the assembly. For example, if for some reason water were to get in because of our failure to make sure the unit is sealed properly, we will replace it. The warranty sticker must be intact. If it is a component failure, the warranty for the component applies. We have cross-shipped replacements for clients in good standing and a credit card on account. Kits are available on the website. If you wish to modify components, let us know and we will add those to the kit options.

Don't you ground your installations prior to coming into the house?

There is good reason for that. 1) 433 boards dont fit in most Rootenna style or very low cost cases 2) There is a big cost different between 433Ah and basic 411, if serving residential. 3) The second Etherenet port is needed for Maintenance. a) When residential home owner is not home, to access the CPE. Provider's tech works days, Customer home at night :-(. Its so much quicker to plug in tech laptop plug directly to second ethernet port, than to run extention cords, new AC power source, and no need to risk damaging a working POE Ethernet port 1 all sealed up and functioning. b) When initial install and alignment is done, it can be done easilly with Laptop right there at radio, without going inside and getting distracted by customer. c) We want a case that lets us remove the POE Ethernet jack without cutting/recrimping it, and we want an easy access hole/plate pre-cut right under the second ethernet port, so its easy to quickly access without opening rootenna case, or without incurring a signficant cost for pass thru jack that is not really needed for a temp eth connection port. I really like the 433AH for our commercial installs, because there is enough margin there to justify stand alone larger cases and stuff. But I'd still like a rock bottom cost CPE only, thats cosmetically pleasing, and high power, that does not sacrifice features. This requires a 411 footprint, and dual ether. I guess looking at the 411, there really isn't any room to place a second Eth, and would require a PCB layout change, so I guess this will never likely occur.

RJ45-ECS = pac wireless pass thru connectors http://images.google.com/images?q=rj45-ecs&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi It's a female rj45 connect outside (so you plug your outdoor cable into it, then through the house to a POE) and a patch cable you plug into the rb411. Steep at $10 some places but even then it's well worth it. There is a 19 or 20 dbi 5ghz panel for ARC enclosures. I have always used the 23dbi panel. Remember the ARC stuff is antenna+enclosure - it all ties together so when you get to the customer site all you do is mount it and run the cat5. If you hate using something to remove the cable (which you shouldn't need to do often at all, I don't I personally ever have had to from these units) you will NEED the rj45-ecs. You can remove the cable if you have tiny fingers and can roll your fingertip from the side of the clip.

Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
Give the tech a "break-out" box. A box with 2 Enet jacks and a pigtail with a plug. The plug get only the data pairs from one jack and plugs in the laptop. The power pairs get connected from one jack to the other. The jack with all 4 pair is labeled RADIO. The jack with only data pairs is labeled POWER. Plug the cable from inside into the POWER jack. Plug a patch cable into the RADIO jack and the radio. Plug the pigtail in the laptop. I use this all the time. Actually for installs, I have a power supply in the truck and a 250' ethernet cable on a spool. Plug the cable in the truck power supply. Plug the other end in the break-out box and away you go. On installs above the roof, put a test box at ground level. Just a Enet plug and jack. Insert the break-out box here and even with no one home you can connect.

Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
I have a fix for your need on part 3a\b\c. (3a/b) We use a cable that has a female RJ45 end, we use that to plug into from the home owner's cable that is run to the inside. We splice the data off and have another RJ45 end for Data only plugged into a laptop. Then one that is combine Data/Power plugging into the CPE. (3c) Use ARC Antennas with the ARC Enclosure. It is a better performing antenna than any Roo. It is the same antenna that is used as an OEM product on many commercial PtP links (Solectek, LigoWave, etc). They are very similar in price. You don't have to cut the cable to access Ethernet.

Re: [WISPA] MT Mikropoynt
How about both good price and well built? Order 5+ and you save $50+. http://quicklinkwireless.com/Customkititems.asp?kc=KIT-58-23A-R52&eq= I personally have them deliver the parts. I have someone at the office build them and test them (they charge 7/unit and my guy can do 2.5 builds/hr). Some of them they did build as I made a mistake on ordering. They do not use the rj45-ecs but rather put the 411 up to the connectivity hole, though if you ask I expect they will. I absolute can NOT STAND THAT.
