Yea I know a lot about those radios. They are pretty close to the
Lumina radios actually, and have very little in common with the
Freemile. A CFIP-106 and a Lumina can actually link to each other... a
Freemile and CFIP-106 would not (different modems).
First I'd ask if you reached out to SAF support? I'd bet they wouldn't
hesitate to help you with it. Even then... I'd bet if they can they
would be willing to repair it (of course for a fee) if they can.
My gut says that something on the radio is failing. If SAF will sell
you a Freemile link you can reuse the antennas (if they have the
adapters for those arkivator antennas). An Integra 24GHz might be able
to use those antennas as well.
Either way... I'd make plans to replace the link. But call the SAF
support team in Denver first.

Since I now have it bridged through 2 ports on a Mikrotik that I
control, I tried disabling and enabling the Mikrotik port, that didn’t
fix it. Last thing I did today was bypass the surge suppressor, I
don’t have high hopes for that, but I’m running out of things to try.
If it would go down and stay down I could actually troubleshoot it
better, but by the time I get there it’s back up and stays up for a
day or two.
CFIP 106 is the Fast Ethernet product, no fiber port. I’m not sure if
it would talk to a Lumina or more likely a Freemile.

It is similar to the lumina, our workaround for this is a script in
the mikrotik to turn the port on and off. Or switch over to the
multimode fiber port. Only issue is i suspect we got the last two
adapters they must have had last year cause one looked like a well
worn bench tester. If its got the original suppressors, may bypass or
replace those, or replace the POE thief

Anybody intimately familiar with this (discontinued) product? We
installed one 8 years ago for a customer between 2 of their
buildings, have not touched it since then and we have not had
remote management of it. It’s the only SAF link I’ve ever dealt with.
One side has started dropping the Ethernet link randomly for about
an hour every few days (both the radio and the router see the
Ethernet link down). I thought maybe the cable was too long, but
we put a Mikrotik mid span so the cable is now only 140 feet and
it happened again this morning.
They don’t make this anymore, so I can’t just replace the radio to
see if that fixes it. I would have to do something like swap the
radios between the 2 ends and see if the problem moves.
