RE: [Karlnet] PRISM II 100mW card and Karlnet TC V4.02

Norm,

 

We did test the Senao and it worked here, but we only  did function testing and did not run the unit more than a few hours.  So you don't have to send the radio/liver in :)   When our guys get back from Interop I'll have them do some more testing on these radios.

 

For more than 2 radios and for 100/200 mW radios we will be doing a new board that will be able to support up to 4 radios and 2 ethernet cards.  We'll also do a smaller board which should fit existing housings that can have 2 radios and 2 ethernet cards.  Both of these will be manufacturered to handle the higher output radios.

 

Doug

Doug, I believe that this card is the SL-2011CD PC Card (Senao).   Can you recommend any well behaved 100mW PRISM II cards, or is it recommended that we go the SBC route with Karlnet TC on flash?  I'm willing to go that route eventually, as the current AP-1000 could find a home elsewhere in our network, although, at this point, I'd like to hold off on that move.   I'd love to send in the card, Doug, but it's like my liver, I'm currently using it.  :)  (even in it's crippled fashion, it gets the signal to my customers...) But for the future, I'd like to know what to do.

 

Speaking of SBC's, what's recommended out there for Karlnet/TC that can support say, more than 2 radios, and can run off a single 12-15vdc supply?

 

Thanks,

 

Norm

Norm,

 

We see this problem with some of the higher power radios in the AP-1000 and the RG-1000.  Those pieces of hardware were made for the 32mW radios and they will act funny with the 100mW and 200mW radios coming out. I have not seen the radio you are using, but if you want to send one in for testing we'd be glad to look at it for you.

The second, much more serious problem is that after changing the params in the AP-1000 remotely, and telling it to reboot, it hung and required a long trip up the mountain to reboot it by power cycling.   (I wasn't a happy camper.)   This AP-1000 is running Karlnet TC v4.02, and has both interfaces running TC, one, the Orinoco card as a satellite for the backhaul, and the other, the PRISM II 100mW card running as an ISP Base as the PtMP.   I tried rebooting it from the configurator several times, and about half the time it would hang on reboot and necessitate a power cycle.

 

Anyone seeing these, or similar problems?

 

Norm
