Subject: RE: [Karlnet] Thunder Storms and
equipment lockups or failure??
We have had
some pretty good responses, but would like to see this
problem really solved a bit
further.
Some of our
nodes will be up to 1000 miles from the nearest technician, and up a
commercial tower, thereby making access very
difficult.
The APC
solution just doesn't cut it, as it won't have any network access to it, and
the hardware has to be smaller as well. Does anybody have a solution to
this?
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
Nate
