| Canopy Homepages Gone
I am on one of the larger WISPS that exists in my state.
They use a mix on 900mhz 2.4ghz and 5.7ghz Motorola Canopy products to serve all their customers.
For the past two years, I was able to go to a 169.254.xxx.xxx address to see stats for the Canopy radio at my house, other radios and the Towers.
So basically my whole town was on the same subnet, so everyone had like 169.254.123.xxx.
Now, they had 169.254.123.1 as a MikroTik Router. That is the only thing I can see anymore.
All the tower modules and SMs no longer show up.
I don't think the internet company would want to shut this off, as I think the only way to do this would be to change access from public to local?
If thats the case, if they ever want to check a setting on a radio or diagnose a connection, they would have to come out to where the radio is located?
The radio's for other towns (on different subnets) are still all working.
I am trying to figure out if someone changed them without permission (maybe a disgruntled tech) so they would have to go out to everyone's house and hard reset the radios. Or is there another way they can open up access to the radio again? |

Would a radio that was set to "Local Access Only" be able to be accessed through this method. This is what the techs do whenever the radio cannot see the tower.
1. Connecting the POE Plug that goes into the router into the computer.
2. Reconfigure the ISP Settings for the connection to put yourself on the 169.254.123.x subnet. Add in the gateway and subnet mask.
As you are on the same subnet, does that constitute you getting "Local" access? Or do you actually have to do something to the radio? |

I believe your first post (where you talked about sniffing around), is the reason they have changed everything. And yes they can still easily access the canopy SM from their side.
If I ever had someone not on my payroll looking at our gear even if all they can access is the page showing the configuration, at any point besides the CPE at their location I'd boot them off our service in a heart beat.

I don't think that is what they did. The tech support guy that installed our connection added those pages onto my favorites, and told me to check them if the connection wasn't working.
If I could see the tower page, The connection was not on my end. |

Milbranth, I re-read your post, and you said something about looking at the config? All I can see is the guest status page, which merely says things like it is connected, signal strength, rssi, jitter, distance from tower, air delay.
Nothing that shows any of their settings or anything. |
