Hello,
We are setting up a wireless topology for very low-bandwidth communications between a series of industrial computers. We are experiencing simultaneous connection dropouts on several sites,
- The distance between these sites varies, typically between 300 meters and 1200 meters, with 12 sites in total.
- We are using Metal 9HPn 900mhz radios
- We are using static WDS routes between each site
- The attached diagram shows our routes, highlighted in blue, with signals in red.
- An example configuration is attached.
- A PingPlotter graph is attached, to help visualize the frequency/duration of downtime.
My questions are posted below. Any information that might help us would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Brent
(Q#1) I have heard that a signal better than -50 can lead to problems. Might that be the case here?
(Q#2) Site #8 has five connections leading to it. Is this a problem?
(Q#3) Are there any modifications I can make to my configuration to improve uptime? Again, our communications are very low-bandwidth, and reliability is by far our top priority.
