Next stupid outage at a different site.
Specs: Generac 8KW generator Automatic Transfer Switch APC 450 rack mount UPS Mikrotik RB1200 Mikrotik RB435 (3x 802.11n sectors) Dragonwave Compact Horizon #1 Dragonwave Compact Horizon #2 (I don't know how many horses, chickens, goats, pigs, and other critters are onsite, but I don't think they're an issue). Total load on the UPS is at 44%, estimated run is 25 minutes (long enough for the generator and switch to do their thing). Radios grounded to the tower, tower grounded and bonded to the shack. Shack has two rods (panel -> Rod -> Rod -> Generator). Everything inside is bonded as well, including the drain wires on all the Cat-5. Yesterday, the Dragonwaves rebooted several times during the storm, but neither RB lost power even once. Any guesses? I'm sleeping on it over the weekend, but probably need to get it figured out before too many more storms come over the mountains.

One of them tripped last night, causing me to have to put on some 80 miles just to push a button (yes, it could have been much worse). Is there anything to prevent stupid outages like this from happening without violating code? Thanks, -- Troy Settle, Network Administrator The Wired Road Authority 1117 E.
