Hi Lee, In the past, involving RF expert from our Faculty has helped quite a bit in dealing with invisible RF problems. We had a researcher in Chemistry saying the network interfered with his experiments. A team consisting of the RF researchers and the network ops went over, listened and offered some suggestion on grounding that helped fix the problem. The input of the RF researchers helped quite a bit in that case.
In this case, since it's more on the operational side, I would get model numbers and manufacturer information for the fire alarm company can get the manufacturer to to issue a statement. ... Jonn Martell On 5/24/06, Lee Badman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Wondering if anyone has ever run into a similiar problem: I'm dealing with a contractor who is claiming that our Cisco 1/g 1130s are interfering with the wired fire alarm system- putting individual smoke-heads into trouble, causing newly added devices to not be addressable, etc. He has no basis and can offer no proof, but is making lot's of noise about his perception. Knowing that there are thousands of buildings around the country and world with RF from WLAN, cellular, radio stations, etc. and fire systems getting along nicely, my first take is that this guy is grasping at straws. If I stretch my mind, the best I can come up with is his wiring is acting like an antenna, building up a voltage that shouldn't be present, and thus maybe creating a condition that points to improper grounding of his stuff- but I think even that is a reach. Any thoughts? Have yet to do any real onsite t-shooting with him yet.
