Thanks again.

We'll try to create our own high ground with a poles or masts. We only have access to the roadway shoulder.

We will go the WDS route and see how far we get. Literally.,

Thanks for responding.

This particular location is on CA 299, along Little Cow Creek near Redding CA, USA

I have a question about setting up temporary communications along a roadway to support our equipment, which is used in the road construction industry. As a rule, we use cell, WiFi, XBee@900 MHz, and some satellite to provide communications between our boxes. However, a portion of our jobs are along ...

Thanks Normis, for the reply and for the news.

Sorry for the duplication.

Or, one could just refer to the Serial Port Usage Wiki entry at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Serial_Port_Usage A cleaner approach than the one I described in the previous posts is to simply use /port remote-access to send the GPS serial output to a TCP port. Then an external machine can periodicall...

Perhaps I posted this on the wrong area of the forum... To quickly restate: I have a bunch of mobile RB+WiFi+GPS units that come and go from construction zones. It would be nice to use the GPS as both a clock source, and an accurate lat/lng server for generating Google maps of the on-site unit locat...

I have several mobile platforms that each have an RB411 or RB433 equipped with a serial GPS unit (Garmin GPS18) The GPS is used for both time sync and position location. Our time sync requirements are on the order of one second, so the serial interface is fine for our time sync. We are a bit more in...

Did I mention that I was pretty new to 3G? :oops: Thanks very much for your advice. I checked on e-bay and there are any number of outfits selling this device, and others, that will work on the Verizon network and are on the RouterOS supported hardware list. At least one seller provides detailed ins...

Does anyone know of a current set of Routerboard + RouterOS Version + Cell Modem that will work with the Verizon network? Meaning: If I want to buy h/w today to build a new box with a RouterBoard and a cell modem that works with Verizon, what can RB and cell modem can I buy? My current working solut...

I have heard back from Mikrotik support, and they indicate they will try to optimize the driver in v4.7 in order to support the USB760. They say that the modem ports respond very slowly. So it sounds like the Novatel USB760 != Novatel U760, and that the USB760 is not supported under v4.5, at least f...

The commands I use for setting up the UM175 are the same as I am using for the USB760: int ppp-client add add-default-route=yes allow=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 comment="Cell Modem" dial-command=ATDT dial-on-demand=no disabled=no modem-init=ATZ mrru=disabled name=mainUpstream null-modem=no p...

Done. Ticket#2010021766000448 Note: I had been using the UM175 with Verizon with no problems, but when I tried to order more was told they had been EOLed and that for now the USB760 was the only USB modem that Verizon supports. I have not independently verified that but, if true, would put RouterOS+...

I have upgraded to v4.5 and find that its support of the Verizon USB760 modem on RB411U and RB433UAH is not terribly stable. Perhaps this is what the previous poster was talking about. Based on that advice, perhaps I will try to fallback to v4.2 Under v4.5, there are certain commands (/port and /int...

I will try the upgrade to 4.x and see what happens. According to the supported hardware document, the MC760 is only supported under v4.5, so I am not sure v4.2 will work. Additionally, it's not clear to me whether, from the RouterOS point of view, the "USB760" I got from Verizon is closer ...

I am also having trouble with a new Verison USB760 3G card. I activated the modem in my laptop, so I know that the device works with the Verizon network. After I install it into either an RB411U or RB433UAH running v3.30, the system hangs when running the /port commands (e.g. /port print). After sev...

And the RB411AH. Is this capability (Voltage monitoring on the RB411AH) advertised anywhere? I have looked around the site and don't see it mentioned. I can't find any vendors advertising it. I have a small mobile solar setup that uses an RB411, and being able to measure line voltages would be grea...

I told myself I would post a working configuration if I ever got this figured out, so here it is. I have a natted, bridged subnet that has two gateways to the internet. One gateway is cheap(simonsNet), the other is very expensive on a per-bit basis (cellNet). All outbound traffic should go over the ...

Normis, Thanks very much for the wiki update and new facility. I have not yet got it to work, but am still plugging away at it. It looks like exactly what I need. macgaiver Yes, I can and did use the tab button (one of the world's great inventions, right after the delete key). But the Wiki should be...

Guys, I hate to disagree, but the rules from the wiki contain a syntax error under 3.24 If you just paste the example, you get the following: /ip firewall mangle> add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface=Local per-connection-classifier=src-address,dst-address:2/0 ac tion=mark-connec...

I have an RB450 running 3.24 connected to two different ISPs. I would like to access the RB433 itself via either ISP and would like the packets come back out the same gateway that they went into. (I am actually trying to do much more complicated things, but am having trouble with this particular pie...
