<br>
We deployed stuff @ Baldi today. First, the good news:<br>
<br>
1) We installed the cable between the buildings, and got all of them on <br>
the gigabit LAN.<br>
2) The 24-port switch for the middle building didn't arrive on time, so <br>
we're using the full switch that was there already.<br>
3) We aligned the Beacon.Baldi dish and managed to get another 10dB of <br>
signal out of it now that it's focused solely on Beacon.<br>
4) We got access points deployed into all the buildings.<br>
5) We got the link to CampMurray working at last. The 3ft dish was <br>
discovered to be damaged and had to be replaced with a 2ft from my <br>
personal inventory. This will need an RF Armor shield, and an <br>
additional expense report for the Baldi deploy budget to cover the cost <br>
of the dish itself.<br>
<br>
Now for not great news:<br>
<br>
1) The Ethernet link between the northernmost building and the new <br>
Rattlesnake.Baldi dish seems to be faulty. It was raining hard when we <br>
were installing this, so maybe there's water in the connector. It's also <br>
deployed pretty close to lots of VHF/UHF antennas, so maybe the RFI is <br>
killing the Ethernet. We need to go back on a dry day, hopefully with a <br>
cable analyzer, and examine the situation. If it's VHF/UHF RFI, then <br>
we'll need to run fiber to the modem. I have disabled the power to the <br>
dish for now, on the theory that water is causing PoE arcing at the <br>
modem contacts and we don't want that electrolysis process to continue. <br>
Power draw to the modem is not unusual, about 3.2W, although it has been <br>
observed to be quite variable at times, from 3W to 4W.<br>
<br>
2) The AP in the northernmost building appears to have really bad <br>
performance. I had a hard time pinging it over WiFi from within the <br>
shack. Had to resort to using wired Ethernet to get any packets moving <br>
and work done. I've no idea the cause of this. Perhaps a spectrum scan <br>
is required.<br>
<br>
3) The VHF DMR up there appears to have been static-IP configured and <br>
didn't migrate properly. We'll need some follow-up remote work to <br>
re-program the repeater for DHCP.<br>
<br>
I think that's everything noteworthy.<br>
