[AFMUG] Fiber on bad spool

I have some 144 fiber that is sitting on a wooden spool that is rotting away. Apparently this spool is in real bad shape. I'm waiting on some pictures to see how bad. Guys are telling me we are going to have to abandon all the fiber. I hoping to try to re-spool it to another spool. Any tips

[AFMUG] LiFePO4 question again

I'm finding hard to pass up just getting a 100ah 48v LiFePO4 rackmount battery. I have a new fiber system that will need a maximum of 3kw once it is maxed out over the years. This seems like an easy and clean battery solution. Question is how do I power the system from the AC side on a daily b

[AFMUG] DWDM/CWDM Magic

We may have the opportunity to grab 2 strands of dark fiber. These will allow us to build a loop between two points on our network. We have been told we can also break into this fiber within our loop. I'm guessing when we break into this fiber they will just extend the dark fiber into our han

[AFMUG] ISP level DHCP server

We have always used PPPoE in the past. Just happen to be what our first system 23 years ago was based on and we just stuck with it. We are setting up a new area with all new equipment. Looking at setting it up as DHCP. Looks like I can do some DHCP radius stuff and our new equipment will inj

[AFMUG] Small Outdoor Cabinet

I'm looking for a small outdoor cabinet may 19" rack about 10U. Would like something that could work as a Handhole/Cabinet where I can store fiber loop under it. Never had to shop for anything like this. -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications

[AFMUG] DHCP Fail over

We currently run 3 PPPoE servers using an OSPF concentrator and radius to manage the IP addresses. With this setup, it doesn't matter which IP lands on which PPPoE server. OSFP handles it. We now need to do something similar with DHCP. I've been messing around with /32's and Option 121, but

Re: [AFMUG] Billing

Mike, I'm finding Sonar makes many assumptions on how things "should be" done. They have put me in a little box and I'm trying to program my way out of it. -- Best regards, Markmailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com -- Friday, April 18,

Re: [AFMUG] BEAD Fiber projects gone?

I think/hope they may disappear in FL.  We haven't even opened our application window, so would not be too hard.  If no applications have been applied for, then there is no harm.  -- Best regards,  Mark                            mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com
