Topic : Not all "supported" ubiquiti devices work??

I received a NanoStation M5 with a firmware of XW.v5.5.9, is there any hope that we will have a release to load on this device or should I send it back?

Went to /www/hamchat/data but the page did not open in the browser. Am I doing something incorrect?

thank you for the assistance. I have one other question regarding hamchat..since the chat is on my bullet does it continue to reduce the available free space in the bullet? As you can see i am pretty new to this stuff. thanks again!

Normally you don't. But just go into /www/hamchat/data and remove all files with the name data_#############_# (replace # with digits, 0-9).

Topic : Help with DNS/NTP server add on.

Yes, the (original) intention was to make the NTP server plug-n-play at any port by including a DNS server on the same Arduino. I had so much difficulty with that since I was learning too much in too short a period of time (NTP, DNS, IP protocols), that out of frustration, I placed the completed (and wonderfully functional) NTP server on one node and pointed all my other nodes to its address. It allowed me to move on to more pressing issues since I dairy farm and it's Spring. I can email you the Arduino sketch if you wish to play with it.

As it turned out, somewhere along the way I probably had the entire thing working... DNS & NTP but since the nodes wouldn't lock on due to too extreme a time/date difference, I assumed the worst and got more and more frustrated with my efforts. Now that I know that the NTP server works (after loosening the restraints on the ntpclient properties) I'll retry some of my earlier revisions and report back any victories.

Topic : Help with DNS/NTP server add on.

Hi. I have been reading your posts about the NTP server for mesh timing. I have a couple of questions. 1. Is it the intention to be able to put together a pluggable unit and associated software that uses GPS to get the time/date using a pi or Arduino? 2. If so, is it then a matter of having the unit connected to ANY node as an advertised service on the mesh? Thus resulting in an automatic time/date update for all connected nodes. This seems to be a good solution and is almost plug n play. Would the concept port to a PC with a USB puck and a software package? I tried using the Windows time option in XP to use the NTP server facility but I have not been successful. 73 de G0OFY (Thought I would add a little reference to amateur radio. LOL).

Interesting! Holding the reset button between 12 and 20 seconds is supposed to cause a restore to factory and then a reboot (forgot about the max of 20 seconds). The factory load is for when the unit has factory firmware, not BBHN. Afterwards, you always use the SysUpgrade files. Glad to hear you got it back up and running!!! (woot) :D

Rusty, I held the reset button and couldn't cause a reboot. I was hoping to go the tftp route but there was no change in the LEDs as indicated in the Ubiquiti documentation. (no Lamp test, flashing, etc.) But I was able to fix the problem by reloading the firmware via ssh, scp, and sysupgrade.

Whew! I was able to reinstall the firmware via ssh (via port 2222) using the instructions from openwrt here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade#copy_your_firmware_to_your_router

The key was to use the sysupgrade image.  The factory image causes an error.

Moral of the story: as long as you can connect to the router there is hope!

Jesse,

Try holding the reset button longer than 12 seconds to get a full reset and reboot. There's functionality tied to the reset button and it differs depending on how long you keep it pressed.

Topic : Diversity on Dual Polarity Ubiquiti Devices

[n6mef 2015-03-26- 16:06:17]:

I want to confirm my understanding of setting the TX and RX antennas to "Diversity" on a dual-chain Ubiquiti device (such as a Rocket) connected to a dual polarity antenna (such as a Rocket Omni).  A few questions:

(I'm only looking for facts, not conjecture.  No guesses please.)

1)  Is it correct that the "Diversity" setting will use one of the chains at a time, whichever is hearing the stronger signal?

That is correct. 

2)  In a mixed environment, where some devices are dual-chain/polarity (like a Rocket) and some devices are single chain/polarity (like a Bullet), I presume it's best to set the dual-polarity devices to always use a single chain/polarity -- whichever is the same polarity as the single chain devices.  Correct?

No, you'll want both polarities/chains available (if you have them) as you never know the received polarity should the transmitted signal bounce off buildings, water towers, and other such structures. 

3)  In a point-to-point link, I presume it is NOT possible to get full-duplex comms if the TX and RX are set to separate chains.  For example, radio 1 TX=chain0/horizontal, RX=chain1/veritcal, and radio 2 TX=chain1/vertical, RX=chain0/horizontal.  Correct?

Correct because wifi is half-duplex by nature.  Also, you appear to be making the presumption that there are two radios these wifi devices, one for each chain, when, in fact, there's only one radio with a high-speed, electronic switch that selects the antenna for the signal. 

4)  Why can't the dual-chain devices use both chains at the same time with BBHN software?

Again, Wifi is half-duplex.  Such a capability is not in the hardware so there's no need to handle it i the software.  Secondly, presuming I'm not misunderstanding your intention, to do so would require separate radios for each chain which the Ubiquiti devices do not have.

If you really want to use both chains simultaneously, you'll have to talk to Ubiquiti about that and be prepared for a much more expensive node.  Once that hardware becomes available, popular, and affordable as well as having the proper device drivers written/available for such a configuration for OpenWRT then BBHN could make it available should our customers show they express the desire for such.

Thanks much!

Yer welcome much! :)

Given that error message either the file name is getting changed, either by you or the computer you're uploading from, OR the Perl script that generates the Admin page is boogered up.

Could you please post a screenshot JUST BEFORE you press the [Upload] button when you get the error message?

After that, please stop the frustration and just upload the full .trx file. :)

I am also running the Linksys WRT54 series and have the right file. After over a week of trying to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 I am still not able to make this patch work. Can anyone give me any help? Once again would I be better off to try the 3.1.0 trx file as I have not tried that?

Topic : AirGrid M2 HP Question

Check the release notes:

http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/download/firmware/ubnt/310/release-notes-3.1.0.pdf

On the sixth page (the pages aren't numbered, jeez) read "DMZ and LAN Port Distinctions". 

Granted, description of fundamental functionality is NOT something that should be buried in the release notes.  In fact, it ought to be visible on the config screen.  For example "WAN (VLAN 1)", or something similar.  But user documentation is not a strong suite of this project.

I have started a new Yahoo Group as a site to share info on Metro Phoenix mesh activities. We also have installed a few high profile nodes in the East Valley at 2500' ASL and are looking for some connections.

Give the group a visit for full information.  Let's get meshing..

Topic : installed the wrong patch on my Ubiquiti M2 nano loco

OK. I've mistakenly installed the 3.1.0 Linksys patch on my Ubiquiti nano loco M2!  Is there any way to recover?

The router appears to be running, I can ssh into it.  But when I try to get to the web interface (http://localnode:8080) I get the following message:

"The CGI process did not produce any response"

Is there anyway to recover? I've tried holding the reset button to start tftp but the router wont go into tftp mode.

Help!

-Jesse

Topic : Golden Horseshoe Network

It looks like I'm going to miss Ham-ex, so I'll miss your booth. Watch for our emissaries from the Hamilton Amateur Radio Club; I've asked them to visit on my behalf.

Are there any discussions going on about tunneling? Now that it's dead simple to set up, seems like a decent way to attach our many 'island' nets to the larger mesh. In Hamilton, we have a decent hub at our repeater site, but no members live close enough to connect via RF. You have a better line of sight across the bay to our site than any of us have. Ironic, eh?

I have a BBHN 3.1 tunnel server set up at my home QTH with unlimited broadband just itching for a few connections. Given that I live in an area that prevents me from connecting anywhere via RF, tunneling is an attractive feature that I'd like to explore.
