[HamWAN PSDR] Getting online

[Eric Wolak]

Howdy,

I'm new to the area and excited to get involved in PSDR. I got myself a
MikroTik SXT 5nD r2 and I have good line of sight to the CapitolPark
cell. After working my way through the Client Node Configuration
instructions, I can see the AP with an SNR of 38 dB, but I'm unable to
connect.

Did I miss some setup step? Do I need to get my MAC address whitelisted
or something?

I wiped the settings and started over, and now I'm getting a different
failure:

[admin at AG6IE-CapitolPark] /interface wireless> scan 0
failure: other tool running

I rebooted, and then tried to use the WebFig interface to scan and
connect. Again I saw the network, but the connection never succeeded. 
Got this in the log:
