Ok guys I need some help here. I am
frustrated.....here is the setup.... on one tower we have 2 ABpro
with 180 antennas and then also a ABTotal (it is the bridge back to our site
where the POP is. At the POP we have 2 ABpro's. Here is the
problem.... on the tower we have wap5 (bridge) wap3(one customer on it) wap4
(trying to get customers on it) I have tried to set two clients up
no with no luck. I have 3 radios that I have tried.. These 3 ABTotals are really
starting to suck in my opinion.... The flakiness is hard to deal with when you
have sites that are set up 150miles from the main office. of the 3 radios here
is the problems..
1. The radios can see wap4 and accociate with it. The clients can
ping both wap4 and wap3 and wap5. But not anything on the
other side of the bridge. These radios get a address when I run the repair
connection in XP but it says the repair failed. I can not get any kind of
traffic to pass.I have updated the firmware, reset, reset,reset and reset again
and again and again and the damn things still do it. But here is the
kicker... I take these same 3 radios and try to connect to wap3 wap1 or wap2
(1&2 on the other side of the bridge) the radios work like a champ..... Now
to further complicate it.. I can take one of the 3 radios and plug it into my
laptop and it works on wap4... plug it back into the customers machine and the
friggin thing does not work. So that proves that wap4 is working and passing
traffic.. just not taking anything from these 3 radios when in a customer
machine. one machine is a gateway laptop w/built-in network card.. and other is
a dell also with a built in card.
I also decided to take my radio from home that has not had 1 issue
since I installed 2 months ago and I put it up at the custmers site and it would
work on my laptop but not their machne..... both customers machines are XP
home... my laptop XP Pro...I have alot of good to say about AB products and alot
of bad... There is not a good troubleshooting area on their website to help out.
I am sure with all the issues we have we can give them the info for it.. I dont
want to ahve to save 1600 messages just to go back and look to see if someone
else has the same one... It is just frustrating when you have to tell a customer
that you have tried 3 radios and none of them work and you have to come back. It
really makes them wonder about the quality of the equipment. If any one
has any ideas I would really like to hear them...
Thanks, Steve Good
I have to side with Marlon....you get too much off
topic stuff going and Smartbridges will stop listing to the list and you have
lost your factory tech support on the list.
USe the other lists.
