RE: [smartBridges] new (I think) out of the box issue with an ABO's ethernet

[Chris Chance]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE LAST paragraph (the first to that's a no I haven't had that) ... I too have had problems but I have used other equipment wide scale before and they all have there problems and I believe with SB releasing there new radios in a few weeks a lot is going to change, and as for the heat issue I will also bow down and thank the people on the listserv and thank them all (including myself and everyone else) for keeping on sb until they did there full review of the problem. And atleast that's one less problem.   Personally I think sb should just scrap all the units that come back RMA with the old chipset but that's just my view of a solution.   Chris   From: Scott Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 7:57 PM To: smartBridges Listserv (E-mail)   Has anyone had ABO MAC# 00-30-1A-01-E2-27 before?  I got it from E-comm a few weeks ago for an install.  Instead of testing it in the office like I normally do I had a brain fart and decided to go ahead and install it.  I just got back from trying to configure it and I cannot get into the bridge.  I have my IP set to 192.168.0.55 / 255.255.255.0 - no gateway and no firewall.     I have done a hard reset and let it reset 6 times in a row.  I have manually entered the MAC in my arp table with the IP of 192.168.0.22/255.255.255.0 and I cannot ping it.  The only thing I can think of is that I am using the cable form one of the old units that came with outdoor cat5.  I had tried to use this cable before and it didn't work so Monday I am going to replace it. The only thing to dispute my own troubleshooting is that all of the lights are on the airbridge and my laptop shows a connected network.  I will let everyone know what I find on Monday.     As a side note to listening to everything going on lately I am still planning a large network upgrade this fall.  I should be able to cover every town in my county.  I am still planning on using SB equipment as of today.  While on the one hand I can say that almost all of the issues I have faced have been my fault, there are still some issues with the equipment.  I would like to see more input from SB about the issues that we are seeing, especially those issues that have been occurring for many months.  If not for the dedication of a few individuals on this listserv, the heat issue would not have been solved in such a timely manner and I thank those of you who took the time to figure that out.   Thanks,     Scott Wells MCSE CCNA President, Wells IT Services 254-729-2207 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
