    So, fun fact: you can still use Winbox even if you disable the "/ip
    service winbox" service.  :)<br>
    <br>
    Winbox is available as both an IP-routable service (/ip service
    winbox), AND as an Ethernet-MAC-level service (/tool mac-server
    mac-winbox).  Disabling the IP one still leaves the MAC one
    accessible, as long as you're on the same Ethernet segment as your
    modem.  The trick with the GUI is to click the MAC address when
    choosing your device, not the IP address.<br>
    <br>
    It's not intuitive, so maybe this email helps folks out.<br>
    <br>
    PS: winbox.exe is a huge security risk and we should probably stop
    recommending it.  It apparently downloads DLLs from the (possibly
    exploited) modem and runs them on your Windows machine, with all
    your user permissions at its disposal.<br>

          <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Yes, much better.  I also noticed a
            problem on the HamWAN side, where that sector was configured
            for only 5MHz service instead of our normal 10MHz.  I've
            changed the sector config, and you should be getting twice
            the bandwidth now.<br>
            <br>
            I tried to run a speed test, but noticed your
            bandwidth-server was still set to require authentication, so
            I've logged into your modem and turned that off:<br>
            <br>
            [eo@K7ITE-Lookout] > /tool bandwidth-server set
            authenticate=no<br>
            <br>
            I also noticed you still have an "admin" account.  If it's
            not properly password protected, this may be dangerous now
            that your modem is on the Internet.  I have left it
            untouched.<br>
            <br>
            I also noticed you have the "winbox" service running.  This
            is also dangerous, as it's full of exploits.  I have left it
            untouched, but you should probably disable it.  (/ip service
            disable winbox)  We should update the website instructions
            to disable this by default.<br>
            <br>
            I also noticed your ssh is on port 22.  This will get more
            hacking attempts than port 222.  You can change it with /ip
            service set ssh port=222.<br>

            This is the performance you can expect from a 10MHz MIMO
            link that has good signal.<br>
            <br>
            The current-distance is reported in km, not miles.  It's not
            round-trip distance, just physical distance between the
            modems.  There is a separate metric for round-trip-time,
            which is measured in microseconds: tdma-timing-offset=202. 
            You can do the speed-of-light math to get a more precise
            distance than the 1km granularity reported by the
            "current-distance" field.<br>
