My set-up is has follow..... Don't laugh!     Internet - Mikrotik - APPO  - 10miles -  AB/switch/APP  - - - AB/custumer                                        - 13mils - AB/switch/APP - - - - AB /switch/APP - - - AB/custumer                                        - 8miles - AB/switch/APP - - - - AB/custumer   the 13 miles links will be made soon. Im testing it in the shop for 1month. Both 2 other link are OK exept 1 AB I need to power cyle.every week. Actually I did a powercycle on the first day during the burning process.   This set-up is OK for now but maybe it is wrong, Im just deploying it But only have around 10 custumer on it, I will sectorize in 3 later-on, right now it' omni   Im waiting to get fiber, so I could install more custumer. I should have it in 3 weeks !.   I do not want to leave the backhaul ABO in the feild if it is not ok ! I would like a CPE receiving the backhaul from the APP.   I don't want to pay for a access point if a CPE can do more than 64 MAC without NAT.     But if an Access point is need Then I will change them for APP. But if I can use a CPE than I will change for a CPE.   In my book, a bridge should associate to 1 access point, & access point associate to many bridge.   I can't see why this Airbridge is designe like this. It means my custumer cannot use an accessPoint without a router.   It also mean that an Airbridge cannot support a buisness with many PC, or MAC address.   I have 11 custumers that will have beetwen 30 & 50 PC,  That make me think if the Airbridge is viable.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sB Tech Support Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 8:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Backhaul with Air bridge. How is your setup like, maybe I can help you figure out the best setup? Same as http://www.smartbridges.com/new/support/faq_ab.php#155 ? You got it working? What firmware version is loaded? If working, you should be happy, why you are afraid to deploy with airBridge?   Alex sB Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: Pascal Losier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 4:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Backhaul with Air bridge.   According to smartbridges, we can't do backhaul with an airbridge. For some reason Im testing with  an Airbridge & it works !  I only hook up tree custumer with this wipop.   Apparently, Airbridge is not transparent bridge like an APP.    Why is it working ???  Im afraid to deploy with an airbridge,,, Maybe I should look for another CPE for backhaul.
