but code requires that you ground outside the entry point - so technically
you're still not compliant...=(

Well guys I basically answered my own question.
After this last storm it seemed to knock out lots of network adapters in
PCs. Or blow ports on a hub/switch. And the Operational Status DOWN did in
fact mean that the NIC was bad on the PC.
One thing that everyone that are using Outdoor mounted RGs and running cat5
into the house should ALWAYS use a Network Suppressor so that you dont loss
NICs and hubs....
Here are the ones that I have been using. They run about $20 from Radio
Shack. And if you keep them with you it isn't hard to sell them to your
customers... .:-)

They really seem to do the trick.

Just wanted to let you guys know what I found.

Subject: [Karlnet] RG-1100 Ethernet Question??
Importance: High


We just had a storm that was very exciting for me.... :-)
My network is all backup but you still have the aftermath of customers that
are having PC problems and what not. And I was just wondering if I could
remotely determine if there ethernet port on a RG is good?

When I go to Monitor> Select Another Device type in the ip of that radio I
want to monitor. Then select Interface Monitor sometimes on the ethernet
interface I get Operational Status DOWN. But Admin Status is UP. So does
that basically tell me that the RG's ethernet interface is OK and
operational?? And that either the network card of the PC is hosed because
the Operational Status is down.... I know that when a user turns there PC
off the Operational Status of the Ethernet interface is down. So really im
just wondering what all the Admin Status actually means???

TIA

Nate
