RE: [smartBridges] ABO won't connect thru router...

[Seeni Mohamed]

Hi Bobby,   When you are connecting directly to the router, does the Ethernet port of aBO is lighted up or not? If something wrong with the aBO’s Ethernet port means, it shouldn’t it work with PC also.  You have confirmed that when you are connecting directly to the PC, it works great. You have also changed the cross over switch in the PoE, but no effect at all.   So I would like you to verify the Linksys router speed rate enabled for Auto OR set to half duplex mode. If still the same symptom exists, please use the following utility or simpledeploy to re flash the configuration file. Using this utility will erase the whole configuration and you need to reconfigure the unit again. http://www.smartbridges.com/beta/utility/RecoveryUtility.exe   Thank you   Seeni sB Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bobby Bounds Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2003 2:04 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [smartBridges] ABO won't connect thru router...   ....but WILL when connected directly to a NIC!   Spent half the day today (at an install....ughhh) dicking around with this.   I setup an ABO at a car dealership.......connected it directly to my PC....worked great.   Then I plugged the ABO into the WAN port of a Linksys router. The link light on the router did not even light up. Tried pinging thru the router....no bueno. Tried another new router.....same problem. Re-crimped everything....still no good. Tried three different POE's and power supplies. Flipped the dumb little crossover switch on the POE a million times. Cycled power on everything a million times.....no success.   Factory reset the ABO .....downloaded latest firmware and simplemonitor.....this made no difference.    On one of the routers the WAN link light seemed at times to blink in cadence with the activity light....but not consistently.   The ABO is about a month old....came off a house where induced surge from nearby electrical storms was present.   Does anyone have any ideas? Did the surge somehow mess up the ethernet side of the radio in such a way as to create these symptoms. Am I missing something? What else should I be trying?      Many thanks,   Bobby Bounds Airwave Internet, LLC
