RE: [smartBridges] Wireless port problems...

Hi Shawn,   In order to configure repeater mode, please verify the following parameters set correctly. PrimaryAP: 1.   Set the channel, ESSID(case sensitive) and enabled for broadcast (non overlapping channel) 2.   Primary  port set to Ethernet port(referring to the Gateway of the network)   Repeater AP 1. Set the channel as like primary AP, ESSID(case sensitive) and BSSID(Mac address of the primary AP). 2.   Primary port set to Wireless.   Regards,   Seeni,  SB support       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Mitchell Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 3:26 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Wireless port problems...   Latest version of the fw and simpleMonitor (1.5/1.4j6)   I'm in as admin (I'm not that much of a n00b)   No powerShot used... Adapter plugged right into unit (these are indoor pro's)   Multiple power adapters do the same thing...  Same power supply works just fine on another unit   No auth of any kind enabled (not until I get it setup and running)   The cable on one is an RF cable with an amp at the top... just installed... I can hook an airBridge up to it, get onto an AP and surf just fine...  I can hook my Lucent/WaveLan card up to the cable and surf just fine...   IP Addresses isn't the problem.. (System/Network admin for 10+ years)  RF isn't that much off from that...   Distance between the two is about 4 miles, I can see it just fine with my crappy lucent card and an airBridge...  But I can't even have the AP associate to an AP that's just a few miles away... (yes, both diff channels)   I set it back to repeater mode after factory reset... I can do a fact reset, set it up as a normal AP and connect to it locally (via wireless) just fine...  But when I set it to repeater mode, I can't get the AP to connect to any other AP's.  I set the ESSID in manually that I want to repeat and set it to roam (works just fine on another AP this way) and I can't see anything locally on the wireless...   One unit is brand new, just got it in a few days ago..... the other one is one that I am sure was working, but it's been sitting on the shelf waiting for a deployment that needed it...   Unit 1 is sitting at the bottom of a tower in a building right now...   Unit 2 is sitting here on my desk..   That answer your questions?         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tom Haynes Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 1:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Wireless port problems...     Sounds like many things:    Logging in as user instead of admin    Primary port not set right    Wrong FW for repeater mode    Wrong MAC in authentication on main AP    Water in cable    Bad power (low voltage)    Faulty powerShot    Wrong config on xxxxxxx(fill in the blank)   Have you used simpleDeploy on it, what FW are you using, what version of NMS or simpleMonitor are you using, how much cable are you using, can your test device see the main AP and the repeater AP, what model of power supply are you using, how old is the unit, are you plugging anything in to the Ethernet port of the router, where are you monitoring it from, if you 'factory default' the repeater AP how is it staying in repeater mode, what IPs and subnet are you using, how far is the repeater from the main AP, how far is the monitoring device away from the repeater, how far away is the monitoring device away from the main AP, how much wireless experience do you have, how much networking experience do you have? Unless someone has had this EXACT problem and fixed it, we just don't have enough information to troubleshoot the problem. Please give more detail.       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Mitchell Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 1:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Wireless port problems...   Ok...  Here's a big problem that's starting to just p*** me off...   airPoint Pro (indoor)   Unit 1:  Will not do any RF Output when in repeater mode...  If I set it to AP mode, and reset it (holding in the reset button) and clicking the factory default's button... and spend 10 min or so doing this the unit will start sending RF packets...   Now, the counters show that it's getting rf packets, but not a single tx packet... not even beacon's...   Now, Unit 2:   Same problems as Unit one, except with a twist... On the Tx packets for the RF interface, I see one broadcast... never anymore than that... and the Ethernet interface keeps resetting about every 2 min...   This one is just going to be a normal AP...     Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?  On Unit 1 I'm trying to Associate it to an AP.  I can see many AP's, but any of them I double click on it just counts down to 0 seconds and gives me the failed message.  If I put the info (ESSID, BSSID, etc) in manually, as soon as I hit the Set Values button, it pop's up an error telling me it can't set it...     Any idea's?  Or do I have to RMA these units?  I already have a handful of other ap's that I am having to rma...   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://198.63.203.6   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://198.63.203.6   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://198.63.203.6
