RouterBOARD SXT 5HnD

junkie, please look at this section in the wiki on the security in nv2:

Good one!
MT sales guys now are worried about higher end product sales… :wink:
Did you use longer rods, so the SXT is in focal point or it was about the same for SXT or the transmitter head?

i have 3 km ptp sxts
and there is high interference cause a high packet loss ( sometimes more than 10% )
currently I’m using super-channel with 10MHz CH BW
what is the best thing i can do to avoid the interference

khalid:
locate interference sources (look around, or use freq usage) and try to physically separate
(put Your device behind conrete elements on rooftop, or use shielding)

Hi Guys, please for your help…

I’m trying to deploy a new implementation with a central AP and respective connected clients on 5ghz band.

I bought an 433UAH and a R52n miniPCI. Clients will be SXT CPEs.

Furthermore I choosed to buy a MIMO sector antenna with dual Horizontal & Vertical polarity (HV).
Same munufacture produces same dual polarity sector antennas with HH & VV polarity.

As I read from SXT manual it supports dual polarization antenna too that’s why I bought the HV sector.

Question: Is my approach correct? If no, which is the recommended polarization for SXT? HH or VV?

wolfeyes: SXT is dual pol by default, so should work with your MIMO sector.
Additional info: chan0 is Horizontal polarized - so if You want to connect to a Vertical (only) sector,
You have to rotate the device by 90deg

Hi,
can you help me?
one provider in my area gives such equipment to connect to the INTERNET can you explain me in simple words will it work ok if I have a cottage and the provider’s antenna is 3-4 km away what speed will I get? how will it works?
привет
дом на земле.провайдер дает такое оборудование.стоит или не стоит подключаться будет скорость стабильная или как получится? кто реально этим пользуется?

Hello
Let my introduce some Ukranian Reflector Antenna for 5 SXT from my factory SS&T(http://www.sstua.com)
It converts 25x25 of built in antenna to 5x5 degreese and let increase work distance up to 7km with out any modifications.

Price 40 Euro

just WOW

My ptp link with SXT stop passing data. I’ve changed nv2 with nstreme and is working now. Tried to changed back but after ~10sec stop passing data and then work again, and so on. Tried 4.17 and 5.2. Link had worked fine for about 2-3 weeks and there were no modifications.

Besides turning the SXT sideways 90degrees what else do you need to do to make a SXT connect to a vertically polarized 5.8ghz omni antenna attached to a XR5 on a RB433 on top of a 200ft tower about 1/2 mile away?
It sees the signal with SNR 34 to play with - it is set to “station bridge” and/or “bridge” and neither will connect. Of course NV2 with TDMA 3 and QueueCount 5. No security turned on on either side.
The omni has 4 other “standard” XR5 or SR5 boxes connected to it at 20mhz Freq 5785
(btw - the v5.2 series kick ass on ptmp! still a timing issue with 2.4 802.11 legacy stuff tho but otherwise a GREAT product!)
Am I missing something?
Thank you,
Rod

Excelente producto.

All information is in the manual!

Chain 1 can’t be used separately. It doesn’t work like that.

mounting bracket can’t be turned, you need a horizontal pole or some DIY adapter. We are working on new brackets.

OK, that is cleared, but what will come to the water exit holes of the unit? By turning the unit these will effectively become water entering holes and thus making that type of action fatal to the unit.

no, if you turn according to manual, all holes are still pointing down.

this image shows both polarizations and holes. as you see, no matter how you mount it, none of the holes is pointing up. don’t worry, we have tested, no water can enter in the sideways hole even if you point a waterhose at it

Normis, you SHOULD make a tilt bracket for this one!

Thank you.

Exactly!
