Hi Friends
i have a radio , i think That’s need Power too , i Connect That with a “50V” PoE.
That’s : 1x RB600 with a Daughter-board
4x XR2 MiniPCI
4x XR5 MiniPCI
i’m Using 45 Meters Network Cable with Power on that
in Past is Work Successfully , Like 6~7 Month.
what’s This Need Power !!?
Log Image :
1~2 min , 10~18 min or 25~30 min work , will Get Shutdown and Rebooted , Showed on Log !
Updated the RouterOS from 3.28 to 4.6 but , The Problem No Fixed!
Where’s Problem ?
Check all That’s , Network Cables , PoE , Disable all wlans and Other
Anyone Know ??
That should give you a supout file which you can then view via the Mikrotik site when your unit goes down, maybe giving you better diagnostic info.
If it’s not heat (although I would still not rule this out as sometimes you can be borderline there) then it’s probably power.
Having -
4 x XR2 each at 1.2A = 4.8A
4 x XR5 each at 1.8A = 7.2A
1 x RB600 at ~9w
This is quite a power draw. If you are feeding this via PoE that might be your problem right there. You might check your power supply and see it’s rating.
You might also try via the DC jack directly and see if it makes a difference.
i’ll Testing it with DC Jack & Shorter PoE Network Cable , i’m Questioned from one of My Friends , he Sad in This Solution you Must work with a 1 or 2 Meters PoE Network Cables & Power amps is Problem !
i’m using it about 8Month Using it with a PoE " 50V/1.0A".
in 2~3 Month of Started Service , The Signal’s Nice work , but After That the Signals Going to Low !
and Now , That’s Problem …
What type PoE injector are you using? The RB600A supports PoE over data lines. Are you using that type injector? If not, maybe you should. The “unused pairs” type use two of the 24ga CAT5 wires for power and two for ground. At that distance and power draw, it will cause a serious voltage drop.
Ah…my bad. You mean NOW! So your network traffic has slowed over the last few months? Not mine. I had a single 85 watt solar panel on a unit that was fine last year. Ah, but NOW that is not enough. My radios are transmitting almost constantly with the additional traffic. That puts a much higher load on the power supply, especially with high power radios. NOW it takes two 135 watt panels to keep up. Whew! Good thing they are cheap. NOT!!
Is there any pattern at all to the failure? Time of day? Day of the week? Weather? Traffic peak?
With those radios, your power requirement will change radically as those radios start to transmit.
This is transmitting. When idle, they don’t use nearly that much. But note that the radios use over 38 watts if they are all transmitting.
ADD: I interpret the user guide for the RB600A as maximum power is 35W total and 25W to the extension cards. I see the ‘+’ after the values in the user guide specs, but I don’t think they meant 38 watts to the extension cards would be ok.
In this situation, it isn’t. Your extension cards still use more than 25 watts when transmitting. You must find a way to keep your radios at or under 25 watts (approx 7.5A@3.3v). The four XR5’s use almost all that.
