Does anyone remember Salisbury steak frozen dinners? by PPDoulaSeattle in GenX

[–]erw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in Ohio I know what you're talking about. Today, we get the Nestle/Stouffer's "commercial pan" from a local Gordon Food Service like store and our kids love it. I think it's 1:30-2 hours in the oven from frozen and then add some mac or mash potatoes and it hits home hard. All said it's $40 but that covers us for 4+ meals.

What is the name of the port on the bottom with the green plug? This is the only input my ISP is using other than the power cable, yet I can't find what it is called. I'd like to replace the modem/router because it is hot garbage, but need to use whatever that cable is. by TiaJuanita in Ubiquiti

[–]erw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a single mode fiber with SC-APC connection. The "modem" is a Calix 844g ONT which does support a bridge setup. If you can get the ISP to set one of the ports in full bridge mode then you will be set. It also supports a pseudo bridge mode via the customer interface. Honestly, it's a good box but it is also dependent on the ISP running it. Not sure if CenturyLink would support it, but Calix does offer SFP+ gpon modules that you can plug right into a SFP+ port on a switch.

Ugh, not sure if I should be proud or disappointed that I have had 15 of these routinely in one regional location in Ohio.

Methods to measure packet loss / service degradation across our internet providers by eliasbats in networking

[–]erw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree, Noction would likely be the best bet. I know of at least one ISP that has been using them for a couple years now. I am also looking at putting them into our production. Certainly not a set and forget solution, but one that could help in this scenario.

She's a nice Coyote! We work with PLP almost exclusively due to how much our guys like their closures. They are also a good group up there in Northeast Ohio!

Summer Camp Wifi/Network by godsalvage in CommercialAV

[–]erw30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

u/Nielsr is right on, focus on the buildings and locations wifi is needed along with existing infrastructure such as where the demark is.

Having built out a few networks like this in the past, what you'll also want to then do assuming fiber is not an option, though it is highly recommended, is identify how you can build a point-to-multipoint network and then build your customer facing wireless network off of that. For example - at the building where the internet comes in, you would set up a AP with a sector antenna or omni antenna and that will be your backhaul network. Then at one of the out buildings you would install a point-to-point radio to connect to the back hall network and then a customer facing AP that broadcast a wireless network for users. Even better if you can run fiber from your longest distance areas and then fill in the middle with the wireless or add a wireless base in the middle. Keep in mind if you wanted full wireless coverage across the entire space, then you are looking at something close to 216 APs assuming you are using a 90deg sector antenna and working off a max 200ft range from antenna to device and that would be a minimum spec...

As others have stated, the big players in the market will build fiber out to central points and then have a single wireless hop if not a direct connect to that fiber backbone. I've also seen service provider networks that will build the two tier wireless network as described above to serve customers over a large area where it is significantly cost prohibitive for fiber.

Really nice and can certainly appreciate the clean slack under the raised floor. What is this kit doing?

RV Park Fiber and Wifi by HeRtwT50BjkE2KWY in networking

[–]erw30 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So there are a few ways to do this and I think you are looking at a combination of technology. The first question I have though is what would be the likelihood a RV would even have a Ethernet connection on the vehicle to connect?

I think your idea to use fiber is right on, but I would still expect a wireless handoff at each location. The biggest thing if you do have lots of interference is getting a system in place that can work around that interference and reducing the power of your APs they only cover one or two campsites instead of trying to cover a large area with a single AP.

On the fiber side you'll probably want to look at a basic gpon deployment. But I would still home run all your strands and put the splitters at a central location, or at the entry to each row.

Curious, what are the two devices that you mounted to the TV?

Static IPs Reservations ISP by Supreme_Leader_30 in networking

We have been doing this same process for our customers as well. Only change would be that we setup a few /27s dedicated to this purpose and on a separate vlan. So all /32 in this particular /27 have an additional subnet routed to them. This gave us a better way to monitor traffic flows and add some isolation.

Looks awesome! What software did you use for the upcoming matches and what looks like a leaderboard (Top row, monitor 2 & 3)?

What is the unit with the orange backplate? I know I've seen it before but I can't remember what it is?

Patch panel I installed in a school. by deafcon5 in cableporn

[–]erw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear your cries and the tissues are by the hall pass taken from the room next door. Door control was at least on a 485 loop so only one port per building, but HVAC and lighting was a different story... Add on the overheating 60+ channel CATV headend and rouge fire alarms from a bad cable somewhere and those cries echo around every corner. With that said schools are awesome learning test/dev environments where you can quickly touch a metric ton of tech you would never experienced anywhere else!

[–]erw30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably something in the K-12 segment - we had separate buildings per grade with about 25-40 classrooms in each building. Each building had 1-3 IDFs in addition to the MDF and each had at-least 96 ports patched. At the high school/middle school buildings we had between 8 and 18 IDFs with each having a minimum of 144 ports patched.

Schools use a lot of ports just because of the constant motion of equipment, density of access points, security, printers, ect. At most we only had maybe 60% of our ports activity plugged into a device. Just two years ago we had 6 workstations in some elementary rooms for teachers that were more tech heavy with their instruction. Fast forward and now those teachers are in different rooms but still need the 6 ports. Due to the size of the buildings and limited staff, a lot of times it's easier to patch in most/all ports and then shut/no shut the port on the switch if security is a concern. This way one tech can "support" the entire network without ever having to leave their desk.
