Indeed. For an installer, it seems to me that construction-type experience is probably more valuable than tech experience. On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 8:21 AM Jay Weekley wrote: > Was he in the dilemma of trying to get a tech job without experience but > couldn't experience without a job? I'm as int

[AFMUG] Indoor Battery Backups

Does anyone have recommendations on what has been working well for them as far as UPS / battery backups for installations that are climate controlled? It seems like overkill to install something like an Alpha in a situation like this. Jason -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/

Re: [AFMUG] Indoor Battery Backups

I have some sites with old SU1400RMXL with a couple external 8D batteries. They have been reliable, but I’m a little scared because that equipment is going on 15 years old. I would use your own AGM batteries with some Powerpole connectors rather than APC battery packs. From: AF On Beha

We’ve had good success with the CyberPower CPS1500AVR coupled with the RMCARD205 for SNMP management. IIRC it’s not true sine wave but so far they have worked out well. We have about 35 to 40 installed. I think we land them for around $430 including the management card. _

Re: [AFMUG] Indoor Battery Backups

Not all APC units are the same. Their “consumer” line that you can buy at Walmart and staples are junk unless you need something for your desktop computer only. If you buy the server room/data center versions they are much more robust. We’ve been using them for 18+ years and I enjoy that they le

Re: [AFMUG] Indoor Battery Backups

I had a fairly small sampling, one was a consumer unit, the other two were data center rackmount versions - one of which completely bricked itself and took everything behind it down. I was not impressed. I'll look again though, it has been a while. Thanks. On Wednesday, June 5, 2019, Sean Heskett

[AFMUG] Gigabit PoE pinout

I'm trying to figure out what polarities go to what pins to configure some GigE-POE-APC injectors/surge suppressors - but all the documentation I've found is being unnecessarily cagey about the pinout. Most only show two pairs having power. I'm trying to power Mikrotik and Ubiquiti gear via 24v. An

The POE Injector that comes with the unit will shed some light. It should say what pins have +/- Tik and small UBNT Radios only have power on 2 pairs. Airfiber Radios have power on all 4 pairs. On 6/5/2019 10:45 PM, Jason McKemie wrote: I'm trying to figure out what polarities go to what pin

Re: [AFMUG] Gigabit PoE pinout

Nope, most are only two pairs. UBNT (with the exception of airfiber), are all 4,5+/7,8-, and Mikrotik is the same. But most gigabit PoE devices will take any pinout. On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 11:01 PM Jason McKemie < j.mcke...@veloxinetbroadband.com> wrote: > Gotcha, I'll check out the stock injecto

Re: [AFMUG] Gigabit PoE pinout

The unique thing about gigabit is that there is data on all 4 pairs. Therefore, any pairs that have power need to go through magnetics/transformers. If there is power on 2 pairs, then they need the transformer/magnetic isolation. If there is power on 4 pairs, then
