As some of you know we replaced a Canopy AP. The old one was GPS synced by a CMM but what I didn't know when we replaced the CMM sync port was gone (we share tower with another Canopy operator that gave us sync since we only had one unit up there and he didn't need the port).
So instead of getting with the other WISP to find out how and when we could get sync again we installed a syncpipe parasitic (we didn't have any at the point ourselves when the other WISP told we could plug in to his CMM). Canopy unit gets GPS sync nicely and we see 10 out of 12 sats, coordinates looks right etc. But when we turn on the AP to use gps sync from timing port only 2 subs associate. If we change frequency a different 2 subs associate. If we change to another frequency yet another different set of 2 subs associate. Plus they take a good 20-30 before they associate. But no matter what I do only 2 will associate as long gps sync from timing port is set. If we set it to generate sync plop all subs come back almost immediately once the AP rebooted. We are running v9.4, on this 2.4Ghz non-advantage (all subs are also 9.4) AP (wish Moto would hurry up get us our upgrade). We are running same distance, control slots and % as the other 2 canopy operators in the area. . Any ideas to find a solution that means I do not have to climb 180ft a third day in a row appreciated.. And no do not have a second sync pipe on hand it was our spare unit we installed. The other unit we got at the same time works very nicely on a 900Mhz AP on a different tower. / Eje -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
