Nah, IAEFRTM

If All Else Fails Read the Manual

readycool

Now you can do Bandwidth test (if you can ping remote address).

See that Authenticate is not needed (red square) and if you want authentication you can check box in previous window (see post above).

readycool

I'm using SXT v5.26 and couldn't get bandwidth test to work. There was note "can't connect". I've tried to google for this problem but didn't find anything useful. And the problem was really simple. So here is solution: In the Tools open BTest Server and check Enabled tool bandwidth-server...

If you can not reach it try to access it over Netinstall: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Netinstall

readycool

use netwatch. There you have a script to run if a ping is Down, and a script to run if a ping is up. the script could be something as easy as : /Interface ether1 dissabled=yes Thx samsung172, it's working: I ping host (Only timeout must be 10 ms or more, otherwise status is down) And then shut/unsh...

readycool

I hope someone can help me with script for this scenario:

I use RB2011LS-IN and I would like to have scrip that:

Constantly ping from RB an ip address
If ping fail interface (for example GbE 1) is UP
If ping success interface (GbE 1) is DOWN

By default interface should be down.

TIA

readycool

The manual pages say to hold the reset button in until the user LED flashes, then release the button. I have been trying this, but at no point do the LEDs flash, and it is not resetting. Am I doing it right Unplug power from RB Hold reset button Plug power Keep holding reset button until LED flashes

readycool

For 1km range it's the same because you'll probably have to reduce power on the link.

readycool

You can connect with MAC address without IP defined (if you didn't disable ether1 interface too).

readycool

Problem was that MAC address on interface was disabled (by default). You can check status: [user@SXT] /tool mac-server mac-winbox> print Flags: X - disabled, * - default # INTERFACE 0 X* all 1 ether1-local and if you have X that means that interface is disabled. Enable it and Winbox will work: [user...

You are being unrealistic. Skype is EQUAL upload and download. If each skpye video call is 300kpbs UPLOAD, then 30 skype users will saturate the 10mb upload... and that is assuming that no one else is using the internet. That's no where near 150 users. Have you seen this person's network? If not, h...

readycool

Thanks for the replies. I really have 120-150 customers at the same time who use SKYPE. my speed for the moment is 50mb down and 10mb up. Unlikely that from 300 users you have, half of them use Skype at the same time. 50mb down should be enough, upload is small. Most IP networks are designed for us...

readycool

SXT? It's widely available

Nice video....

Looking video I think this grounding hole is too high and if grounding cable is too thin then water can go into chasis.

readycool

Why second WDS_station element IP is configured on the bridge that bridges wlan with ether1, since you can also put it in interface management VLAN?

readycool

I think it would help if you define

switrchport trunk native vlan 5

on the switch

readycool

Make your bridge transparent (in bridge put ports ethernet and wlan).
Put IP address into management VLAN, and management vlan put into interface bridge.

Then you can define on Catalyst what VLANS to enable.

readycool

Unpleasant situation: switch - SXT 5HPnD1 -( )- SXT 5HPnD2 - PC Assume I can not perform MAC telnet on SXT 5HPnD2 from SXT 5HPnD1. But since my Management IP is over VLAN interface I can not connect from ethernet interface over IP address and now I can not connect over MAC address either... So I nee...

I just got SXT 5HPnD and I can not connect over winbox with MAC address. I got error: Could not connect to 00:0C:42:XX:XX:XX (port 20561) - timed out! I saw some people already had this problem. I didn't since on same PC I can connect to SXT 5HnD without problem. I'll take a further look... Edit: SX...

Try this:

# Check that if we're using a wireless LAN
:if ($usewlan = "yes") do={

or this:

# Check that the WAN interface exists
:if ([/interface find name=$waninterface] = "") do={

readycool

using nstreme protocol sometimes you could get ccq values over 100%.

I had it before I've enable Nstreme.. After enabling is OK.

readycool

Try:

ip service enable api #I assume this is what you did already
snmp set enabled=yes

readycool

I've reduced power (didn't help, it was reduced already) but when I enabled Nstream /interface wireless nstreme> print 0 name="wlan1" enable-nstreme=yes enable-polling=yes disable-csma=no framer-policy=none framer-limit=3200 It's 100%/100% CCQ2.jpg Mistery still didn't solved :)

readycool

Look here for advices: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52069

Antenna alignment
Freznel zone obstruction.
Noise in channel selected
Spacing between antennas.
Distance of link and antennas used.

readycool

All other links are up to 100%.
So unless I've point my link over a wormhole I don't know what is going on (I will play around to raise those 69%).

readycool

Still we can not change date format

maybe in next 4 yrs

readycool

What means when CCQ is over 100%?

CCQ.jpg

P2P link, SXT, 5.20

readycool

SXT has level 3 licence. That means it can only be a client.
For AP you need device with at least Level 4.

You can check Licence with
\System licence print
command

readycool

Go to a client, connect over wireless interface and enable it.

Still has problems with VLAN... I'm using cisco switch and SXT p2p link to the PC. A SXT's has IP address over interface VLAN 100.

readycool

Create trunk from A to B with all vlans, and then access to C for one VLAN, and access to D for 2nd VLAN.

readycool

There's no bold frequencies on the frequency list as before.

readycool

If IP address is over ether interface then I can ping between two SXT's. If I change interface over VLAN interface then I can not ping them anymore. Edit: Even if I can not ping SXT's one to other I can ping end device /interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1 add bridge=bridge1 int...

readycool

Are some devices are on the same site?
If yes, how colse are they to each other?

readycool

For small angles you can use plastic cable ties around a pole to tilt a holder.

readycool

Maybe upgrade to last version could help.

readycool

Try to check all 8 HT AMPDU boxes and use long HT GUard interval. Does that help?

readycool

I really ment that you read voltage at the end of the cable and read on RB so you can compare them and always add fixed value depending on those two.

readycool

I ment on physically switching to determine what part cause a problem as I suggest above.

readycool

So: You had a device SXT XY that rebooted constantly Now you switch AP and XY. And XY still reboot? That can exclude cabling and now put focus on device. Maybe someone with more expirience can see some reason. Meanwhile you can paste configuration here, although I don't see how that can reboot devic...

readycool

Doesn't matter that SXT's are not matching, rebooting is caused locally... One idea: Try to crimp RJ-45 connectors once again on both end of problematic device. Several times I had problem that tester show OK crimping and Mikrotik still doesn't work. So if you test your cable that still doesn't mean...

readycool

I would change device and put it to test somewhere else and see is problem connected to device or to a cabling.
Or you can change device and cabling.

And what do you use: UTP, STP, FTP...

readycool

does this help: Interface wireless reset-configuration

readycool

Did you try to measure voltage on the batteries and at the end of the cable?
That would give you answer is voltage on the RB same as voltage on the batteries and if yes you can calibrate RB.

readycool

Are you talking about Power LED or User LED?

Trxy turn it on with: led user-led=yes command

Is the same tutorial used for point to point links with other equipment (as 411 or 433)?

What can I do to improve my stability?

To create SNR graph is not problem. You need just a MIB's for signal and for noise then put them together.
