I would not worry about radio name not showing up. Not a single one of mine have a radio name. That is a MT thing. I wish that MT and Tranzeo would get together on that and transmit that info from the Tranzeo's.

I am starting to wounder about this issue myself.... Sunday, I replaced an old,(6 years in service!), Hermes I based AP, (base mounted radio, top mounted 1W amp, 150ft LMR-400) with a top mounted RB532A 5.8GHz backhaul and 2.4GHz AP. The radio card for the AP is an XR2 into a 9db Comet omni. 8ft of LMR-400. Set in B/G mode. Preamble set to both. CH9. All other settings, except ESSID are default. Connected to this AP was quite a mixture of clients, including: Tranzeo CPE-80, CPE-90, CPE-200, CPE-CPQ Lucent Hermes I client Senao CB3, EOC-2260 Ubquity NS2 Notes on the change. Sig strength reported by the mt range from -51 to -92 Thruput on the AP tripled. tests to my laptop while standing at the base exceeded 7Mb/sec which saturated my fiber. tests before the change could not exceed 2Mb/sec. The Tranzeo cpe-80 would not stay connected. it would connect and disconnect on a 5 sec cycle. replaced it with an eoc-2260 The B clients, all 6 of them, have stayed connected since power up. The NS2's, all 5 of them, seem to disconnect/reconnect in a block once or so a day. some of the remaining G clients, 4 of them, seem to disconnect/reconnect in a block in 8-9 hours the remaining G clients, 4 of them, are all over the place. from 18 hours to 1 hour. I would not read too much into this however, as some of my users power their radios down when not in use. The NS2's are all reported with anything from 1Mbps to 54Mbps as the tx rate but are always reported with 1mbps as the rx rate The NS2's are all reported with a radio name. Nothing else shows a radio name. The things I wounder about are the radio names not being reported, and the NS2's showing a 1Mbps rx rate all the time. Hope some find this useful, and any comments would be appreciated. Blair Travis Johnson wrote: This is NOT just a MT/Tranzeo issue. If you search the forums, people were talking about this issue over 6 months ago with various clients. We are running 100% MT (AP and clients) and we see the issue across ALL of our AP's.

Does Mikrotik even acknowledge that this is a issue and do they have plans to fix it. Part of the issue is I could not make Cisco VPN's work with StarOS V3 AP and a Tranzeo CPE. Had to change to a StarOS CPE. Now I changed to the MT AP and the StarOS CPE didn't work right. So I changed the CPE back to a Tranzeo, VPN's work great now but the Tower reboots. ARG!!!!!

Odd behavior. This must be a mismatch in the protocol between the Tranzeo units and MikroTik. We have tested many different units (E-zy.net, Senao/Engenius, MikroTik, Ubiquiti as well Teletronics) and never seen this behavior you describe. However I do recall way back someone had very strange behaviors going on between Tranzeo units and his MikroTik AP. He had some Senao CB3 units and some Smartbridges that he swapped some of the Tranzeo units with and the problems with those clients went away. Not sure what the Tranzeo units are or are not doing when communicating with the MikroTik AP thought this been long since fixed but if it was the problem seems to once again surfaced. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Barnes Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 3:20 PM To: WISPA General List Cc: Scott Reed; Blake King; Rick Harnish Subject: [WISPA] Tranzeo/Mtik disconnect issue... I am wondering about a resolution on this. I had a failing StarOS Board so I switched out to a Mikotik RB411 v3.10. Now all 45 of my clients (all are Tranzeo) reset every few minutes. Normally <5min. I have also noticed that at times the signal Strength on my clients go super high like a client at -68 will be at -98. However, if I ping that client they drop back to the -68. As soon as you stop the Ping the signal strength on the AP goes back to -99. If I reboot the Radio it sets everyone back to Really good signal strength for a while then it starts to climb. I had no one over -80 on the star board. I just had 12 clients the MT said was at -112 to -116. Ping them and during the ping they are back to -68. Help. I will be a guinea pig if someone wants to look at my tower from MT. it can't get much Worse.
