I believe /users is just for local users. I could be wrong - but I don't think that is applicable in this situation.

I currently have all of my WISP customers authenticating via PPPoE, using the MT AP's as concentrators. Has worked very well for me. I want to take all of that to a Freeradius server using mysql. I have the server setup - and it will authenticate properly. I have a few different PPPoE profiles setup...

jdmarti1

Any hints????

jdmarti1

That is exactly what I mean - my pipe back to the net.

jdmarti1

I have a wireless MT based network. All customers connect via PPPoE and get public IP addresses with the MT doing the PPPoE ( I plan on going to Radius soon). I am looking to solve 2 problems and I think the solutions will be closely related. I unfortunately am just not enough of an expert to flesh ...

Why is it every card produced by UBT has problems with noise, esd, and excuses for it, I've been through many SR2's all with the system grounded and they go deaf. I have SR2 and SR5 cards in a production ISP - that have been up and running for nearly 2 years. The only reboots are when I upgrade. Th...

We have 4 towers with SR2 cards and Pac Wireless omni antennas. They are rock solid for us. One of them is in a very high noise environment. I would say though - that is you are in a high noise environment, the SR2 has great Rx specs, poor links on your part, will cause problems. BTW - We have had t...

I would find out what type of grant my competor got. Most of those grants are only for areas that do not have existing broadband. If you can prove you were already in existence when he applied - he would be repaying all of that cash - plus possibly facing criminal charges for fraud. That would shut ...

This is what most ticks me off about MT. They say there will be an announcement, at least a roadmap at the MUM. Then they expect that to be the only place to get information. If I was able to travel to Poland, that would be great, but I am not. Why are they not forthcoming with the information. They...

jdmarti1

Maybe it's 333*4 or 1.3khz. That would be sweet!!!!

jdmarti1

but why the CM9 and the SRC doesn't have that problem? It happen only with SR2 cards :roll: I ran into the same problem. I found that one client was causing the problem. His shot was marginal and the one tree grew just enough to cause problems. My best educated guess is that the better Rx sensitivi...

you do not need a null modem cable to do netinstall. where did you read this? you only need an ethernet connection to the router From the Netinstall page: NetInstall Description NetInstall is a program that allows you to install MikroTiK RouterOS on a dedicated PC or RouterBoard via Ethernet networ...

jdmarti1

The documentation says I need a null modem cable. My Routerboard 532's are all up on towers. Can I do a net install withouth the null modem cable?

jdmarti1

We have been using SR5's since they came out - over a year now. We haven't replaced one of them. They are very stable - and don't have troubles with the extreme temps we see here. We have links that range from 1 mile to over 10 miles. Awesome stuff!!!

today I changed an intersil chipset 200mW from senao with SR2 and signal is not only dropping , but it jumping stupidly... I hope I dont loose my customer until I change it back... and one more thing is someone please announce in mikrotik or forum that exactly what setting should be used for best p...

Well that would be nice but back in reality UBNT is a PITA to deal with direct, getting support directly from them is a mission and i doubt they would be willing to hand out details of their plans to MT. First of all - UBNT has been awesome to deal with as far as we were concerned. I do not know ab...

jdmarti1

Maybe I am just stupid - I don't know. When I run a traceroute I am used to seeing both the IP and the DNS name. In Mikrotik it appears to be a one or the other scenario. Is there a way to see both?

jdmarti1

That is what happens when you paste from two routers. The pool was correct in the router. I have found I have a very odd problem. Seems I can't get to the server from the MT IP addresses. I can get there from the PPPoE addresses, just not from the interfaces on the MT routers. I am using OSPF, and a...

jdmarti1

In winbox open your PPP window, click the PPPoE button. Double click your server to open it, and unselect the "One Session Per Host" box. You can do it in the CLI by making your entry look like this: [magicwisp@MagicWISPMT3] interface pppoe-server server> print Flags: X - disabled 0 servic...

The webserver shows no errors - I have the 404 page set to bring up the page. The part that seems in error is the Nat rule. It shows no traffice. The filter rules show traffic - but not the NAT or Masquerade rule.

jdmarti1

Christian -

Looks like my webserver is the problem.
10.10.2.254 - - [30/Apr/2006:01:44:18 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -
10.10.2.254 - - [30/Apr/2006:01:48:01 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -

Any ideas on how to correct this simply?

jdmarti1

Christian - Not sure how to verify that, I am unsure what you mean. The server appears to be working properly. I put 10.10.10.3 in a browser, and the proper page appears. When the private IP's are handed out - all I get is the page that says "this page cannot be displayed". What log inform...

I setup a PPPoE profile to give non-paying customers a private ip address, instead of the normal public. I added an interface on my webserver that also had a private IP. I added the following rules (profile also below) - it won't work. Any ideas on what is wrong? PPPoE Profile: 3 name="disco_pr...

Just use the firewall function to block bit-torrent.

jdmarti1

jdmarti1

I would love to block the encrypted and let the unencrypted past, I don't think that is possible however. I would like to figure out how to drop the bit-torrent stuff. I have P2P limited, and know that I have to put the new rule before the old one. Do I have to mark it and then make a rule - or what?

jdmarti1

I too would like to see an example of the rules to mark and drop bittorrent

jdmarti1

I didn't think RouterOS supported the XPC.

jdmarti1

So are you saying that the wireless package doesn't get the fixes? All of the things you post in the changelog work only in the test package? Maybe I am confused - after all it doesn't take much. If that is the case - when will the test package work in Winbox instead of the CLI?

jdmarti1

Max power on both cards - running with no problems since July 05. Gets fairly hot here in Oklahoma too!!!

jdmarti1

I have 3 RB532 up that have both the SR2 and SR5 running simultaneously.

jdmarti1

Why would you not be using the standard wireless drivers?

jdmarti1

Are you serious? Why would anyone want to create PPPoE users on a static interface? Dynamic is the function - works very well. I think the fix would be for the MT guys to make an option that works with something many of their users deploy. Am I right - or am I the only one that cares?

jdmarti1

What are the chances that Dude developers will implement such a feature?

jdmarti1

Mine does.

jdmarti1

We have 3 towers with SR2's and love them. There was a problem with the drivers until 2.9.12 so I would uprgrade to 2.9.18 as soon as I could. How far away are you customers? We have found that on close shots - under 2 miles - we really have to turn the CPE away to lower the amount of power they get...

jdmarti1

Or the dude could just see it was a dynamic Interface and monitor it based on its name rather than interface ID - like MRTG does

I think that option would be best for the users of the program!!! I wonder how difficult it would be for MT to make it happen?

jdmarti1

How about using something similar to wget on the router. This would make upgrades easier. No longer would I have to download the packages to a PC just so I can upload it to the others.

jdmarti1

My routerboard did it twice - each time a reboot cleared the problem. It has not occured since - not sure what happened, but if it comes back I will send the file.

jdmarti1

When I build a link to monitor a PPPoE connection, it gets reset when the PPPoE connection goes down. It has to be rebuilt. Is there a way to make it stay - and just show the link down? Thanks.

jdmarti1

It's set to 333 on purpose. I overclocked it (as allowed by the board) - I found that my routers worked better when they were overclocked. They worked well last summer in the heat of Oklahoma, so I wasn't to worried about anything else. I am not sure that the overclocking would cause the overutiliza...

jdmarti1

I did a netinstall on a routerboard 532 yesterday and put it back up on the tower. Since then I have found that if I use Winbox - the CPU will go to 100% after a while and stay there. Even when I exit Winbox and use only an SSH session. I reboot the router and it returns to normal. Last night I rebo...

jdmarti1

Has anybody noticed that Neighbor Veiwer did not work after an upgrade to 2.9.18?

jdmarti1

I knew it was a replacement - I also have seen the LMR cables get destroyed when they are taken loose and moved to another N connector. Pigtails can also be a nightmare. Yeah I hate upgrading busy networks - the customers get all kind of pissed off when everything goes south!!

jdmarti1

The SR2 is a fine card. We have 3 AP's up and running smoothly. They are much better than the others we tested. I am curious - you said it worked fine indoors, but not when you took it outside - maybe a cabling issue between the AP and antenna?

jdmarti1

We had the problems on this as well. Make sure you set your Tx levels to 21. MT has a fix, but now it is in the wireless test, not something I am going to deploy on a production network. The SR cards have performed flawlessly since we lowered the power and set the cal to enabled.

jdmarti1

Actually this is a great idea. I, and many others have CPE that have web interfaces along with SSH functions. Some CPE, like Senao use only a web interface. Since there is already a browser in the program, if we could just change the URL and put in the private IP of the radio - they could be accessa...

jdmarti1

Still no change. I made the change that normis talked about, but it still won't redirect. I am about to the point of giving up.

jdmarti1

I know that Ubiquiti is very concerned about this - as they should be. I am happy to know that a vendor is trying to make things right. That is awesome. To many vendors in today's market would just say it's somebody elses problem and go on. As to the the legality comment: Regarding legal issues, MT ...

jdmarti1

So leaving default means that card is using it's stated TX power, but it does not mean that it's always the best. What in the hell are you saying? I designed my network based on published specifications from a manufacturer. I did not expect MT to come along and make my network illegal. How is it no...

I have one RB with 1 SR2 and 1 SR5. It has 11 customers on it. I have a second tower with 2 SR5 cards, and 1 SR2. It has 5 customers on it, and backhauls to a third tower that has 1 SR2 and 1 SR5. That tower is fairly new, and only has 4 customers on it. That being said the only problem we have had ...

jdmarti1

I know that this is not a place for official MT answers, but since this is the place that they gave us the "fix" for this problem, I would like to see if they are going to answer the question I had earlier in this thread. Is Mikrotik working to resolve this issue? MT could work directly wi...

jdmarti1

That wasn't the problem. Still getting the IE can't be displayed page.

jdmarti1

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

jdmarti1

Is MT working on the problems with the SR cards, or just proposing the fix they have. I have to turn the power down to 21 to keep the pings stable. From some of the posts I have read, I am not the only one.

jdmarti1

The redirect works great, but for some reason the websites I am sending them to will not show up. All you get is an IE page saying this page can't be displayed. Here is my walled garden setup - am I missing something here, or is there something else I need to setup besides the walled garden? Any ide...

jdmarti1

You might want to look at the specs a little better. Pwr is not the only enhancement. I do like the power, because using an omni antenna, by the time I add in cable losses, I am at FCC maximum with a 13dBi antenna. Tell me how you can do that with a CM9 card? Then take a look at the Rx thresholds. W...

I have the hotspot setup on my AP, but I don't want the login page to appear. I want the person to be re-directed to my website, and be allowed to look at all of the webpages on my domain. I assume that I can use the walled garden to allow only my pages. What I can't figure out is how to send them t...

jdmarti1

I have the SR2 and SR5 cards, as long as you correctly set the power levels to work around what MT does, the SR cards are awesome. Latency is not a problem at all - only when the cards are overdriven. These cards are definitely the shiznit for WISPs - We have had them in service since July in Oklaho...

jdmarti1

We have discovered that the SR2 card is putting too much TX-power and that's why it could get hot and also work unstable. You should adjust the TX-power value for G mode to 21 so it will work at 26db(400mW). For B mode you should set the tx-power to 26 which will work as 26db(400mW). So what you ar...

jdmarti1

I have both of these types of cards in service - they have ran flawlessly since July. It gets awful hot in OK - I am very happy with how they performed. We have them in RB500 boards, and couldn't be any happier. I wish the RB500 would support more than a couple of these cards on one board, maybe tha...

jdmarti1

I actually found out that you can paste this:
192k/256k 256k/384k 128k/128k 30/30
In the rate limit box in Winbox. Makes it very easy. When you look at Winbox - you would not think it was an option, but it works great.

jdmarti1

I am using the PPPoE server in the Mikrotik. Am I going to have to build an external Radius server to do this, or can it be done using only the MT?

jdmarti1

You know it's pretty obvious that I needed some help. The biggest complaint I ever hear about this forum is that the answers are rtfm. If you don't want to share the information you have - why do you bother to type a reply. Either you don't really know, or you enjoy being an ass.

jdmarti1

I am using PPPoE to authenticate my customers. The PPPoE server is the MT, using 2.9.2. I have them setup to rate limit, but would like to use a queue to allow them to burst, is this possible? How would I do it.

jdmarti1

Meister cleared up the confusion. Thanks to both of you.

jdmarti1

My logs are filling up - with the normal OSPF stuff. I can't find away to keep it out. As it is - the logs are useless. Any ideas? I am using v2.9

jdmarti1

That doesn't work - any other ideas???

jdmarti1

What would be awesome is if somebody would just write a firmware to let either the Deliberant 1300 or CB3 to have NStreme. Talk about an awesome upgrade.

jdmarti1

Was the card tested as an AP and as a client? I am really glad you have already used them. Sounds awesome.
