<title>RouterOS Questions</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22650174</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am asking this in here as well as me searching all over, as i am supposed to be putting this stuff in today! (Yay me for assuming I had a grasp on all of it).

I have a setup going in consisting of a T1 line coming out of a cisco router (no dhcp, manual setup of ip's only... which is fine as it only came with 5) and two RB433's with two RB52 cards each. The 1st RB433 is going to run a 2.4ghz ap / 5.8ghz back haul, and grab the internet connection from the cisco router. The second RB433 is going is on the receive end of the 5.8ghz back haul and will be running a second 2.4ghz ap. All shots are clear los.

I want to get this up routed (trying not to start down a road of bridging) which leads me to my issue. All the crappy how-to stuff on the mikrotik site that i have found shows how to bridge the hell out of everything and assumes your provider either gives you a ton of ip's or you have a dhcp server. How do i go about getting dhcp / nat running correctly on the first RB433 so that it not only handles passing out ip's for AP1, but also the remote AP2?

<title>[Tech Ops] Amateur (Ham)  radio on 2.4 gHz</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649113</link>
<description><![CDATA[Imagine this--1500 watt amplifier on channel 1, 30 dBi grid antenna with an EIRP of over 1,500,000 watts(1.5 megawatts!!!)  Legal for hams using OFDM, and Part 15 devices have to live with it because (essentially) hams are licensed users of the spectrum on channels 1-6!

Not too many birds gonna fly throught the aperture of the antenna....

<title>Paint Mastic Tape</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22644482</link>
<description><![CDATA[I know it isn't standard, but I was wondering if mastic is paintable? (this is the hand moldable stuff)

Is mastic naturally UV resistant or does it need the electrical tape over it to make it so.]]></description>

<title>Outdoor Double Shielded Cat5e</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643384</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've found the Belden 7921A, and Sixnet's EB-CAT5E, but I'm wondering if there are any less expensive alternatives. Winncom has some good looking stuff that's around $650 for a 1000 spool, but they're having difficulty finding it for me. Any suggestions? Thanks!]]></description>

<title>BBSF (Stimulus Fund)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22640343</link>
<description><![CDATA[The first application filing window will open  July 14 at 8 AM (Eastern Time) and close on August 14 at 5 PM (Eastern Time).

Approximately $4 billion of program level funding has been allocated to this NOFA; the remainder will be made available under subsequent NOFAs.

NTIA will distribute $1.4 billion in grants to fund broadband infrastructure, public computer centers and sustainable broadband adoption projects.

 RUS will distribute $2.4 billion in loans, grants and loan/grant combinations for broadband infrastructure projects in rural areas.

The term &#147;broadband&#148; is defined as: &#147;two-way data transmission with advertised speeds of at least 768 kbps downstream and at least 200 kbps upstream or providing sufficient capacity in a middle mile project to support the provision of broadband service to end users.&#148;

The term &#147;rural area&#148; is defined as: &#147;any area, as confirmed by the latest decennial census of the Bureau of the Census, which is not located within 1) a city, town or incorporated area that has a population of greater than 20,000 inhabitants or 2) an urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to a city or town that has a population of greater than 50,000 inhabitants.

The term &#147;unserved area&#148; is defined as: &#147;a proposed funded service area, composed of one or more contiguous census blocks, where at least 90 percent of the households lack access to facilities-based, terrestrial broadband service, either fixed or mobile, at the minimum broadband speed as defined above.&#148;

A proposed funded service area is considered &#147;underserved&#148; if at least one of the following factors is met: 1) No more than 50 percent of the households have access to facilities-based, terrestrial broadband service,  at greater than the minimum broadband speed as defined above; 2) No fixed or mobile broadband service provider advertises broadband transmission speeds of at least 3 Mbps downstream; or 3) The rate of broadband subscribership for the proposed funded service area is 40 percent or less of the households.]]></description>

<title>Anyone used DBii miniPCI cards yet?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645484</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just noticed a new company (DBii) with high power miniPCI cards - Titan Wireless site carries them.  Anyone used their F-50 (5Ghz) card? Any feedback will be much appreciated. 

Their F-50 PRO card (announced last week) has both RF and PoE surge protection on the miniPCI, otherwise it seems to be equivalent to the F-50. Very good idea with one exception -  it appears that they are sharing the PCB ground plane. They should provide a separate ground (and lug) for surge protectors.  Kudos for a very original WISP design.  :)]]></description>

<title>Must have tools</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645302</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi all, I am running a mikrotik network, and i am looking for tools to use that are good for monitoring and keeping track and quickly resolving issues in the network, as well as possibly identifying potential problems :) 
Thank you for your input and info!]]></description>

<title>network up time</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629480</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a customer on our Canopy network that had us do an install saying he needs speed. That was his only request. So we gave him a 5mbps port. Now he tells us he keeps up to 30 ssh and VPN connections open monitoring remote systems and does so for 14 hours at a time. He also now tells us that he needs to UPLOAD 20gb files and that the banks he works with will lose tons of money while the transfers take place. He also wants us to notify him of any times when we will interrupt service. He says when he gets a packet drop the VPN connections and ssh connections all break and he has to do all the 30 screens all over again.

I told him:
1) we can not notify him of each interruption because sometimes we don't have time to do so.
2) we can not guarantee he can keep a connection going for 14 hours without a packet loss, write a script to reset the screens
3)our multipoint network is not designed for mission critial applications and may actually not be what he needs

Did I handle this correctly? I think this is the kind of customer that we need to fire. He works out of his home and cable or DSL is not available and there are no other WISPs that can provide the bandwidth we can. I just think he's asking way too much of us and is going to be a problem account. ]]></description>
