Is CHR seeing the SFP interfaces as optical or just as copper eth?

I want to know if there is any way of telling the optical power and/or the info about the optical interfacse in the sfp ports

have you tried to use 2 antennas with your LTE modem?

I wander if anyone have seen something like that.
I'm looking to integrate 2 x LTE modems in one unit, aggregate them to increase throughput.

We are seeing the same issue with spikes on our bridge traffic.

semakka

have you tried Frequency Mode : reg domain or manual tx power?

semakka

When doesn't work, check the ARP and compare MACs. If different than what they should be, delete the dynamic ARP entries.
If you have a bridge set a admin MAC address.

cheers

semakka

I've seen a while ago some firewall rules working on dynamic address lists, maybe is worth looking for them...
Or maybe block everything on input except your address list (office, allowed IPs). Restrictive firewalls are better!

cheers

semakka

ca you do a /interface wireless export and paste the output here?

semakka

maybe check the owner and permissions on each script

If you don't have a mesh network use static routing (IP -> ROUTES).

there are too many config setups which you can use. they all have good and bad points you only need to find the one that suits you.

I can't see why a ppoe client can't connect to a ppoe server in a routed network if you have the routes set up properly.

How can i create a schedule to disable Wifi Access at 8:00pm and enable Access at 6:00am? What i would like to is shutdown the Wifi Vlan interface on my router. How would i use the system scheduler to do this? Thank you if you use static IP's for CPEs in your network I would create 2 block firewall...

semakka

i believe i have 10 points for INOX.

nice. if motorola canopy works with sateliete dishes - i can't see why we can't just use our own creations.

my way is the othodox way

we still have a few AP on 2.4G. as much as possible we try to upgrade clients on 5G. as the numbers on 2.4 decreasses down to null we have the choice to reuse the existing 2.4G kit or remove it. My query is: will hotspots be supported on wirtual APs created on the existing used 2.4G APs? will it wor...

semakka

no, just my PCI slots on x86 are full. It would be nice to add 1-2 wireless on USB.

I guess we do have hardware limitations.

I wander how many radio cards are supported by ROS and if there are limitations like chipset type.

semakka

What's in your mind? sounds interesting.
You don't want to use the RS71USB from UBNT plugged into a PC with hundreds of USB ports do you?

steven

semakka

Sorry, do I have to include wlans and eths on both device(ap and station)????

yes

semakka

oh dear. the AP needs to be in "ap bridge" mode. you have to include the wlans and eths in the bridge and then assign IP to the Bridge. if you want to drop power don't use "all rates fixed", use "card rates" and then set the power. if you use NS you have to use a framer...

semakka

you probably have to play around with the frequencies a bit 2.4GHz is the worst of the all; or replace some cards. try setting the APs to B/G, in B only mode you can't achieve more than 11m move onto 5GHz, the kit price is almost the same and the freq is a bit more stable :) get away from edimax and...

check/replace your RF cables and connectors sometimes they can act funny too. use waterproofing for Ntype connectors. steven just do it!! Same problem. I'm trying simply ptp in wds mode in my lab and with the same configuration: version 2.9.51 work fine!!! version 3.20 don't work!! Why this???!! Pl...

semakka

not really, because they are advertised with the higher power

yes, i know that. it was just a way of speaking

on the other hand why don't you go 802.11n. try MIMO. some of the latest laptops are N enabled and appears that multipath propagation is a bonus in N. it'll work on Near LOS use ROS with N cards (any), multiple APs using 2 or 3 sectors or onmis per AP and as a client you can use one of the folowing:...

semakka

you are a bit unclear here, are you talking about AP or APs? you have a RB433 with 3 cards working on 2.4? did you replaced the bullet with that? as normis sais, start from default settings and see if you can get any closer to your UBNT settings before. don't play with the TX power unless you know w...

semakka

at 10 km point to point - you'll have enough using R52 and a 23 dBi antenna

steven

yes dBi is a measurement unit for antenna gain

semakka

use "area" option in your APs and CPEs and limit your clients to connect only to some APs, in case you don't have a "mobile" type of setup.
Use "access list" and limit your CPEs to connect to only few or one AP.

I would like to configure my router 1000 to be able to limit the number of windows that can be opened by client when they are brousing. is this possible and how do i control number of windows opened to reduce the bandwidth consumbtion of clients. nice one, good thinking. :lol: how many windows(tabs...

it won't work mate.
you're not looking to make money, you're looking to spend unnecessary money.

Steven

just buy one

semakka

As understanding from the friend who in the electronic firm. They told me the heat of the hardware or IC acceptable range is, when u finger touch that heatsink, you can feel it's warm but not very hot. Our R5h card it's very hot, and even i wanna take it off, i have to wait for few minutes. I think...

semakka

not really a rule. we have dual pol 60º antennas on a huge Telecom tower which has everything on it (you name it, TV, FM, GSM...). horizontal doesn't work at all and vertical works just peachy. we had tried separate units, 411 we tried 532 with 502, we tried 600 with 604 nothing, horizontal doesn't ...

semakka

that's like buying stuff sealed in a box and when you get home and open the box you wave 2 instead of one

semakka

angboontiong - that is the most profesional way to check temperature that I've heard of.

- im my world we put sensors for that and fans to avoid overheating.

inoX - that's a daddy mate but aren't you using too long Rf cables? - obviously I can't see the rest.

semakka

Tks Steven, but i tried also lowest power possible!!! Therefore i have 7dBm + 25 dBi But doesn't work!! Do you think replace the SR5 only for power or other??? Tks a lot!! preety much yes the more power you put up, the more you are exposed to all the radiating noise try setting your units to reg do...

semakka

wait until the ROS v4 is released in a stable version and then reconsider.

but why would you want to do that anyway?

Cheers,

semakka

chill out guys

I won't recommend an XR5 for an AP, start from the lowest (R52 or CM9) and then increase the TX power at AP based on your necessities.

paste more details next time.

cheers,
Steven

PS - have you reads this? http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-que ... tml#before

semakka

SR5 and 25dBi antennas..... too much power.

you jumped from 23 dBm(TX Power) + 18dBi (antenna gain) to 24dBm(TX Power) + 25dBi (antenna gain)
my advise is replace the SR5 with CM9 or R52 and your link will work just fine, probably better than before.

regards,
Steven

semakka

you can use a RB433UAH or an ALIX board with usb ports to monitor Back and Smart UPSs - it worked for me in the office. here depends on how big is the distance between board and the UPS, being USB. we use smart APC UPSs with management cards. you can SNMP and graph them, web them, telnet, ssh them, ...

semakka

eben you should use this mate, http://www.remotemonitoringsystems.ca/rms2/ it works just perfekt, and you can attach sensors as intrusion detection. It can tell you a lot about your bateries and have remote on/off access. this board does everithing for you and in a long run is cost effective if you ...

turn on the watchdog on nanostations

steven

there is no such thing as Proper point to Multi Point, not in licence free frequencies :D you can set it up and work properly for years or start having problems the next day. use WDS if you want a bridged wi network but i recomend routed network if you have multiple ip ranges. browse a bit the wiki ...

semakka

paste some more info regarding your CPEs and AP configuration

Steven

semakka

yeah, maybe it will be but let's think how manny times the tech departments were put in a situation to provide an impossible service which was already sold, stamped and signed by the comercial departments with some client...

it hapened to me, manny times... not nice.

Ajust your screen resolution to at least 1024X768.

I am sure that sorted the problem

Now i have a mice one... enabled the web-proxy in transparent mode by the book, it worked fine for a while, i think until the space alocated was getting full and then blocked all traffic from the LAN side. we only managed to get into the router via wan interface, disable the proxy and then reboot th...

semakka

Mate,

just get a licence, is worth it and not that expensive

you won't regret it.

Steven

semakka

can i have 4?

nice enclosures

steven

semakka

switch the frequencies of one unit and it should work (rx tx)

unit one RX needs to be unit two TX
