RE: [Karlnet] Thunder Storms and equipment lockups or failure??

["Wireless Guy" <wirelessguy@natronics.net>]

We mainly use the Flashrom setups and usually they are located at teh top of the tower. And there isnt much room for an APC reboot device in the enclosure. And the Watchdog Reboot Timer hasnt seemed to work for us. It seems like we have less problem when we disable it.

Anyone else using Flashrom setups?

Nate, I notice that Karlnet has a checkbox under the General Setup for Watchdog Reboot Timer...seems like it might solve this problem.  But if the AP has really crashed...well, lets just say it didn't work for me.  And I hear you on the travel.  One of mine is about 13 miles away on top of mountain, and if it's winter, it's only accessible via skis.

Has anyone got any stats on there network on how much equipment locks up or gets fried due to storms? Im located in tornado alley and storms this time of year happen all the time.

I was just curious how much equipment others might loss due to storm related problems. Or just the usual lockups from APs and other units used for PTP links?

It really sucks when you have a radio lock up and it is 30-50 miles away.

How do some of you remotely reboot your radios when you cant use the configurator to reboot them?

Any cool devices we haven't heard of yet?

 

Just curious
