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.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tranzeo/Mtik disconnect issue...

 

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.

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.

Steve and Eje,
 
There is a bit of a forum thread here describing the issue:

Tranzeo and Mtik are working on it.

        So let me get this right. If you have Tranzeo CPE's you only use

        StarOS.
        MT does not work.  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.

                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.
