Its apparent the time delay is not working. I'll work on it, test it and hopefully come up with some thing that works properly.

helipos

Well I've just finished reloading the second SXT that I had bricked. Unlike the QRT, the SXT took about 10-15MB of data to get that initial boot phase sorted. Not sure why there was so much difference, but there was.

helipos

Thread Mining, sorry about that. Just to confirm this remote netinstall is possible! That saves me a 600km round trip. So I purposefully bricked a QRT to test this remote netinstall. I ignored all the address settings in the netinstall wiki and just used the DHCP assigned address my RB953 handed out...

helipos

Well, it failed again, think i need more of a time differential to allow the POE powered devices more time to install, might make it 15 minutes. After going through the logs on some of the devices there was only a 30 second differential in the boot time of the router and the SXT that is powered from...

helipos

Took a little while and I needed a bit of help along the way. But here it is an updating script. It will check for updates, If there are it will start downloading. If there are POE powered devices on port 5 it will wait 3900 seconds otherwise it will wait 3600 seconds for the download to finish befo...

helipos

Right, after waiting ages for an update to come out from Mikrotik the script ran and failed. So I found some inspiration https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Scripting#Catch_run-time_errors and modified it.to fit in my script. :do {:global POEstatus ([/interface ethernet poe monitor ether5 once as-...

6.45.1 issue is resolved.

helipos

If the larger power supply doesn't work try upgrading the firmware "/system routerboard> upgrade". I had one of these 951's that was randomly rebooting, the upgrade cured it.

helipos

Ok, I'm not sure where my retard skill set let me down, but its working. I'll trying it in the new autoupdate script and when I'm happy with it I'll post it back up here.

helipos

[ :global test ([/interface ethernet poe monitor];0;->"poe-out";0) :put $test ] 0 Q The zero is required to tell the monitor command which port to look at. The Q tells it to quit what looks like a live monitor session. If I don't put the 0 and Q in it doesn't create the "test" variable. So I tried ...

helipos

Hello, Normally I can bash my way through a script but this one has me stumped. I'm trying to modify my autoupdate script so it can detect if there are POE powered devices. If it supplies POE I'll make it delay its own reboot by some minutes to ensure the fed device can install it's firmware without...

helipos

You could just mount it bottom in to the wind and use silicone grease or silicone sealant to seal the cable entry

helipos

Well just as an update for everyone else, I did get the handoff working quote well by setting all the AP's with the same SSID. Leave the MAC's as individual and it seems to work quite well without the need for scripts to "kick" devices off weak AP's.

helipos

I would suggest the majority of the equipment you find is going to struggle if you point it "bottom in to the rain" as that's where the water ingress protection is the weakest. That said the Metal52ac does have rubber grommet to pass the cable through which is quite a snug fit and the "latch bottom ...

helipos

I've only been on the receiving end of one fault in about 2-3 years of using mikrotik's, and all that did was make the USB connected modem run very slow, so I could have still fixed it remotely if I wanted.

helipos

There is a fix released in the beta version 6.45.18 and 6.45.19. It's working well. I assume it will get in to the stable release at some stage.

helipos

There is something wrong with ROS 6.44 onwards. I just finally got sick of putting up with it.
My netgear MR1100 has been working pretty well for 6 months.
Since that update the internet speeds are glacial.

If I manually downgrade, its fine.

I'll submit a ticket.

helipos

I'll second the Nighthawk M1. A little bit fiddly, doesn't always behave how you think, but once its setup it does go quite well. USB tethering works a treat, can get 80+ Mb/s over USB. Do have to use double NAT, unless you get a proper public IP from your provider, but that is no different to the M...

helipos

Mine works, so I suspect yours should, I didn't have to do anything special, just set the LTE interface to be a dhcp client.

helipos

Also totally unrelated, but curious if Mikrotik has any plans to incorporate a more advanced mini-PCIe LTE modem like the Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 with regard to how many mbps that are possible given the additional bands and aggregation/etc. I've got a Nighthawk here and it works well with Mikrotik...

The ability to force CPU, uptime, date etc on all winbox sessions.
Instead of having to do it individually

helipos

There sould be a new section, a table in webfig and in winbox for global variables with initial values. System > scripts > environment (both winbox and webfig) ( it's only the current values however) It would be nice to be able to properly append to text files. So we can get around the whole readin...

helipos

I have never tried it with MikroTik equipment but usually when doing software upgrades there is a prominent "do not remove power during upgrade" warning and I think it would be unwise to remove power from the SXT precisely at the time it is doing its upgrade (i.e. around the reboot phase). Will tod...

helipos

MIkrotik wern't too interested in making it work until ROS7.
Fair enough I suppose, with the lack of throughput compared to the MC7430 I think I'll get another of those until the firmware is sorted for the EM7565

helipos

Hi, I want to ask you something that I'm curious about it, in this script all device will reboot same time, if device powerbox and this powerbox supply voltage to some SXTs on it . what happen if SXTs and powerbox reboot it self at same time for upgrade ? is powerbox or OmniTik UPA will not cut pow...

I would like to see something like triggers when an interface state changes, so router can run a script (like ip-up/ip-down on "real" Linuxes).

Had a go at taping the pins. got them taped but still can't get any ports shown in System>Ports. So I raised a Ticket#2018071222000444 we will see how we go. I did get it to work on a PC, but looks like it's not running carrier aggregation only getting 40Mb/s each way. Strange part was I didn't seem...

helipos

Well I was considering getting the defib out at one stage. I bricked the EM7565 after requesting a factory reset via AT!RMARESET=2. Then it would only come up with the QDLoader port and nothing else. But you can unzip the firmware exe file you get from Sierra Wireless, run the exe that is buried in ...

Well I've built the first working version of the speed box. It looks like this. MC7430-- Jetway NF591--Mikrotik RB953 The NF591 is just a low powered PC running Kali which is a offshoot of Debian Linux. It sets up the MC7430, does the NAT and then pumps it out on one of it's interfaces. The RB953 pi...

Well I've been having a bit of fun, I can't even get the EM7565 to connect to the 4/3G network on it own, in a computer. The USB carrier boards don't seem to be working and I havent got a machine with M.2 USB connectors on it. I haven't tried taping the USB 3 pins yet but will soon ( I'm sure that w...

helipos

I just thought I'd create a thread specifically for getting the EM7565 to work with Mikrotik routers. The mikrotik I'm using is a RB953. First thing I started with was a windows machine. I'm also using a USB to M2 USB adapter board. Downloaded windows drivers for the EM7565 and installed. Downloaded...

helipos

Great devices, you just need to know how to configure them !

Any chance you could enlighten the rest of us?
Of particular interest to myself is how to get the hand off working well, 5 access points over the farm makes that a bit fun at times.

helipos

I am now deploying “Cat 16” Telstra Nighthawk M1's (Netgear MR1100) to access B28 and they are working great! What speeds are you getting out of the MR1100? I was never able to get a decent speed out of the Mikrotik when it had the MC7430 plugged directly in to it's ports. So I've kinda splashed ou...

helipos

I see there is some new Telstra firmware for the MC7430.
SWI9X30C_02.24.05.06 might give it a whirl in a few weeks, let you know how it goes.

helipos

Any idea what can be a problem here?
Thanks.

IRC OSPF has a panic update every 30 minutes even if there are no changes to the topology.

gmstack or David1234 While I find it's working pretty well picking up connectivity without needing intervention. If I reboot the router via winbox (and probably ssh) it wont connect and does the usual reset after 6 seconds BS. A simple disable and re-enable of the ppp interface works to get it conne...

Sorry, wasn't clear on the exact field names

Not a problem, thanks for the reply

helipos

I've found another solution: put at+cgatt=0 in the PPP init script. Edit: It would appear that the modem might be staying in 3G mode with that set. I've got it to reconnect the packet session in the dial script with AT+cgatt=1;D*99# and the connection appears to perform better. Hi GM could you elab...

helipos

unfortunately the data and info serial channels appear to be the same so I can't send further AT commands while connected to determine what state the modem's in.

Its pretty shite for that, however good find on the info I'll give it a try this week.

I'm guessing but try this. System > Routerboard > USB and set the USB port to Mini-PCIe On the RB953 you can only run either the type A port or the mini-PCIe ports.

Best thing would be to rule out the Mikrotik.
Get a laptop and plug it in to that Zyxel switch and test back to the Mikrotik from there.

There could be a million things wrong here, but you need to rule something out unless you want to suspect everything.
