Thanks Daniel, good info, I was wondering about that. Especially since SAF sells a DC power injector they say is compatible with CFIP106 that has 54V out.

Ken a 56VDC PoE will work. I don't recall the exact input voltage but its fairly wide. No splitter on the 106 like the Lumina Steve. <https://atheral.com/> Daniel White Co-Founder - Business Development & Operations direct: +1 (702) 470-2766 <https://www.facebook.com/getatheral> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/atheral/> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPZv-EsGCj8LXfzylwCrjQ> Ken Hohhof wrote on 6/11/19 23:41: Not sure what you mean by top end thief, is that a POE extractor? These radios just have an RJ45 for passive 48V POE. Data on 1,2,3,6 and power on 4,5,7,8. When I put the Mikrotik in the middle, I actually bypassed power around it using a couple keystsone jacks. Radio reports something like 43V and seems happy with it. I’m having trouble finding an equivalent POE, everything I have is either 56V, with the exception of some spare POEs I had for WiMAX CPE and they are only rated for 19W. Since it’s power on separate pairs and not GigE, I guess I could just wire up a 48V Mean Well power supply to the power pairs.

Have you swapped out the poe and top end thief? On Tue, Jun 11, 2019, 9:02 PM Daniel White <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: 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. <https://atheral.com/> Daniel White Co-Founder - Business Development & Operations direct: +1 (702) 470-2766 <https://www.facebook.com/getatheral> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/atheral/> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPZv-EsGCj8LXfzylwCrjQ> Ken Hohhof wrote on 6/11/19 20:24: 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 On Tue, Jun 11, 2019, 6:43 PM Ken Hohhof <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: 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. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
