Ubiquiti 5.6, U-Boot Test, and MacOS

Hello,

I'm new to AREDN, attempting to get involved with the local CERT comm group who are starting to deploy it. i have purchased a new Ubiquiti NSM2. I see the warnings about firmware 5.6 at http://www.aredn.org/content/software.

I have fired up the AirOS firmware to look around, and from the Main page I see I have v5.6.2 (XM). So I know that at a minimum I should downgrade to AirOS 5.5.x before installing the AREDN firmware.

M9 salvageable?

Plugged a cat 5 cable into a Nanobridge M9 and the status lights started dancing all over. Tested the cable to find wires 3 &5 were crossed. (Yes,  I did this out of order). Replaced the cable and was not able to connect to the m9. Can ping it. Was able to get into recovery mode and reinstall the software successfully. Still can't connect to it with the browser. LAN adapter shows an unidentified network. So did that +24v send the m9 to the junk pile or is it salvageable?

Rocket Antenna Port Questions

Hello everyone,

I have done a fair amount of experimenting with the Bullet M5 devices over the past couple years and I am getting ready to work with a Rocket M9 using a single omni-directional antenna. Unlike the Bullets, the Rocket has two antenna ports. 

If I am only going to use one of them, should I do anything with the other one? 

Should I be using one rather than the other?

Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I need to pay attention to?

RFI from a M900 900MHz node into computer speakers

Just a quick mention that I found and fixed some RFI from a 900MHz Ubiquiti node getting into an amplified computer speaker system located about 1 meter away from it.  Sounded like a buzzing "digital" noise, as that is want it was...   Seems the node makes short bursts of transmissions as it looks for neighbors.  Ferrite cores on the speaker leads didn't do that much, moving the node some did.  I could see the directivity of the M900 as I rotated it (the buzz would get louder and fainter).  Noise is gone as I have the speakers located in the node's null. 

M900 Question

I looked around and first and found no answers. I just got a pair of M900 to do some 900mhz testing. There are 2 antenna ports on the top but no reference to them in the software. Can you use just one of these and terminate the other ? They are marked Chain0 & Chain1

NanoBridge M5 issue

Hi all, I am setting up a mesh with several rockets, nanostations and bullets and everything works nicely  :)

I got an existing nanobridge M5 previously used as a ptp and loaded the AREDN SW ... the  setup is OK but when going to the mesh status I just get it in the mesh but I am unable to connect to it :  I just get LQ=100 and NLQ=0 

Could anybody give me any hint trying to figureout what is happening and how to fix this issue ?

Thanks in advance....

Capture Solar data project

I recently upgraded my solar installation and hooked up a Raspberry Pi to a Tracer (epsolar) 3210A charge controller to capture the performance data.  Happy to share further details if anyone is interested.    This site has 3 x Rockets, 1 x ipCam, and 1 x Raspberry Pi 2 and if the IR night mode of the camera is off, consumes slightly above 1A consistently.  the IR takes another .3A :) and I'm glad I was able to quantify that.  

Nanobridge M2 troubles LQ 100, NLQ 0

Hi guys, 

We have a new network here with lots of cheap Nanobridge M2s.

We've had lots of fun with this.  It has worked well as long as we are only a few miles apart.  Recently, however, we've tried longer links of 8, 11, and 20 miles. While they all have reasonable signal levels ranging from -69 to -80, I continue to suffer from LQ 90-100, NLQ 0-20.   The other end does agree and reports LQ 0, NLQ 100.

Bad Rocket M5?

I purchased a box of used 10 Rocket M5s from eBay.  Only one was an XW and the rest XM, so score so far.  I'll just keep the XW for a survey node.

One of the nodes appears to have a flash issue.  I was able to put 3.16.1.0 on it.  When I try to set the node name, password, and distance, I get an error when saving.  Looking at the initial page I see Flash shows 0kb free.  When I compare to other nodes, they have 2mb+ Flash free.
