Just received a shipment of RIC/522 with RB112 inside. The first two of the units have managed to crash and not reboot themselves during configuration and testing. Has anyone else experienced RB112 failure like this, requiring power cycle to restart?
Is it possible I just got a bad batch, or has anyone else seen RB112 units crash and not reboot - requiring a power cycle to get started again?
Never a problem. But all of mine are running 18v local power not POE.
yes i have seen this many times, when using the emp/nmp-8602 mpci card.
try a different/no card to see if the problem still persists.
I have recently bought RB532A (2.9.27 firmware:1.13) and have the same problem. Nevertheless the rb continuosly reboot itself when I insert NMP-8602 mpci on it. Does anyone have a solution for this ?
You can do what I did and replace it with a CM9. This week, and RB that had been running for months started rebooting as stated above. It had the Senao card in it. Replacing it with a CM9 fixed the problem. And, even though the Senao is supposed to be more powerful than a CM9, my link actually improved. So, no more Senao purchases for me until they start working better.
The sr2 is the way to go for me. I have ten of the 8602s that are sitting on the shelf. What a crap card.
Oh, And I have found that the sr2 and sr5 in my area are better then the cm9.
Finally I’ve found out what’s the problem. The rb532 can’t handle more than 14watts of power, but nmp8602 cards are demanding more than the routerboard can handle when they are set to 26db.
I think that there should be a version of routerboard (or some clocking) that can handle more than 14Watts. Is there any chance for this ?
setting the output power so high can damage your card (and mostly will).
So why would they specify that it can support this much output power if it could damage the card ? Or you say it is a marketing trick ?
they specify the default power. if you set the value to more then that, the card will start to overheat. if you set the powero value default, it will run at manufacturer’s recommended power.
