WRT54G-TM
Howdy,
So I found myself with a WRT54G-TM, an interesting device was wondering if the firmware would load on it. Nope it wouldn't so I thought I'd try to install dd-wrt but for some reason I must have borked something. I did a factory reset to the linksys firmware. Following these instructions: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=212455#212455 I loaded in the CFE and it went ok, however after that it just kind of got stuck with the power light blinking. I seemingly can tftp into it, and put firmware on to the device but it doesn't do anything. Won't reboot won't update etc. I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand/insight? |

Bullet firmware upload fails
My first thought is this actually an M2 and not just a Bullet2.
After that my next thought is did the file get corrupted during download perhaps. If both of those are good it could be a limitation in the AirOS GUI (what version of AirOS?) and you may just need to TFTP install instead. |

Bullet firmware upload fails
I apologize in advance for a second post today, however, a flashing issue has arisen. In loading bbhn-1.0.1-ar71xx-ubnt-bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin to a Bullet M2 HP I get as far as uploading the bin file then get a "Bad Firmware Image Update" error. I have rebooted the bullet and logged in to Air-OS again, then tried the upload but still no joy. Where am I going wrong? |

Side mounted node on Rohn 45
Thanks for the fast reply Conrad.
I had surmised that might be the case although I was hoping that the short wavelength would mitigate it somewhat. Based on that we should mount on the face toward the most population and hope for the best off the sides. 18 inches out is already 4 wavelengths so a longer sidearm might just give us 270 degrees or better.
Thanks again. |

Well, the wavelength on 2.4ghz is a very short distance (12cm) so going out does not have to be very far to avoid distortion of the RF field. The bigger item is actually the shielding the tower will add. Consider anything that would go through the tower itself as if it is 100% shielded and that you will not be able to make contact. Some signals may get through because of the gap in a room tower but I would advise considering anything in that direction as a NULL for planning purposes.(I tend to plan pessimistically on RF out of habit to increase my margins ) The further out you go the less degrees potentially nulled out by the tower.

Topic :
Ubiquiti NANO M2 drop box power
The NanoStstion will indeed run on 12v setup as long as the voltage at the far end of the cat5 cable is kept above 10.5v (though I've heard they can handle drops below intermittently it's not a guranteed state)
Here is a link to Specifications (including power) from Ubiquiti http://dl.ubnt.com/UBNT-AOS_prod-specs-gen_4.pdf Just keep ohms law in mind (or use an online POE) calculator if the cat5 run has a potential of a couple volts drop due to length. if your going to run a long distance you may consider a 12v to 16v or 12v to 24v DC-DC converter to reduce loss and allow longer cable runs , but short runs shouldn't be an issue. Inside the Ubiquiti gear is a Switch Mode Power Supply that allows it to tolerate these wide voltage shifts making them ideal for field deployments.

Topic :
Side mounted node on Rohn 45
All, We have the possible opportunity to get our area's first truly wide area node installed. The site is well above average terrain of the metro area with good line of sight. The node, as envisioned, will be a Chinese made 18dbi (although I rather think that is an optimistic measurement) whip fed from a Ubiquity Bullet M2 HP fed by outdoor rated CAT 5. All well and good so far. The rub is that we cannot get placed at the top of the Rohn 45 tower now offered. The owner is fine with a side mount which raises some questions. How far out from the tower should we place the whip? There will be pattern distortion no matter what I fear, but has anyone done a similar install and give guidance? Anything we might be missing? Thanks in advance! Dave KM2O

Topic :
Ubiquiti NANO M2 drop box power
I'm planning on getting a couple of Nanos to play with in dropboxes, replacing the Linksys routers I had been using. The Nanos come with their own PoE injector which runs at 24v. Has anyone done any research to see if the Nano will run on 12v? I'd like to use the same battery/charger configuration I had with the 54's. Any stories about how you solved this particular little dilemma?
Thanks. |

It's Contagious
Rich, Peter, et al,
I would be glad to help you guys get going! We have some nodes running here across the area with Ubiquiti nodes and some Linksys but with an amp. Our experience with those stamped yagis has been very mixed, so you might want to avoid them. Primary sites in high RF environments and/or outdoors should probably be Ubiquiti devices.
We are now actively deploying on several high profile sites and would love to span the river in a couple of places. We are also working on a tunnel strategy to bridge RF islands. We have also been playing with cameras, IRC servers, Asterisk servers and Internet gateways. We can share our experiences from our team's efforts with you guys anytime. We also have a Yahoo group called, Comtechgroup that anyone is welcome to join.

Thanks! That worked. Unfortunately, now I can't connect to the router anymore (with localnode:8080). I've tried with wifi off and with wifi on BroadbandHamnet-v1. I get no network from the browser.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom |

UH, what Yagi are you referring to? I have dishes (commercially bought from Titan/Fab-corb/L-com). I DO have 2 Cushcraft Yagis (in radomes) out back, heavily grounded (as in laying on), needing repair--a buddy borrowed and appeared to him that the feedline came loose from the driver element. I personally havent looked (no gumption or time) The MFJ yagis are inexpensive and work fairly well, when enclosed in a radome or stiffened up--being stamped aluminum, it will sway in a breeze spraying the signal.

I've got the IRC server loaded on one of my nodes. It works fine as far as I can tell. My question is what is the proper entry into the service area? Is it simply a notification or can you create a link for it to initiate a IRC client? I tried a link of http://n6sxr-106:6667 and was simply forwarded to the server which only gave me the "It's working" notification. I gather from this info it is only a notification but want to see if I am missing something.
