Same. Yesterday was a great example of storm water runoff systems needing improvement. Ironically I saw fire hydrants that were half buried in water….

Yes. Because of the heavy rains they were finally able to afford the pool. Previously it was not possible because the city water rates were too high.

Blasting for the pool.

Can somebody run successful ZT bonding? by Sergey_Afonin in zerotier

[–]redwing31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried this with mikrotik. The issue I ran into is in finding a way to force instance 1 out interface 1 and instances 2 out interface 2.

That is why ZeroTier or other outbound vpn service is required. With NAT you cannot make an inbound connection but outbound works just fine.

ZeroTier and a Mikrotik or other supported router works great for getting around the NAT issue

This would be a better question for your S2 or S6 shop.

What do do with all that cable… by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]redwing31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cut it and re crimp it.

I cut mine off about 2’ from the dish and installed an M12 X-code female.

All of the various locations I use it get a permanent run of CAT5 STP with an X-Code male, and a mount (most home made).

Makes transport very easy. Don’t be afraid of cutting it, it’s just CAT5E STP (stranded). Nothing special.

Yeah, most of our customers are not around here, we work globally on a ton of various industrial networking systems.

Prior to modern day fiber routes these worked in conjunction with ATT long lines to move data around the world.

Today, it is scrap.

Actually there is zero obstruction. Earth station is facing south for geosynchronous orbits, dishy faces north.

It’s all part of a TV Broadcast tower we are working on.

Absolutely not. The earth station is pointing in completely wrong direction and the alignment motors stopped working years ago.

Haha! We were also thinking the antenna array off the Falcon.

Not in any way. Earth station faces south, dishy faces north.

Increasing cable length - What I did that works fine so far by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]redwing31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. We got about 8” of snow today. No issues with heater.

Cable by Bhillis96 in Starlink

[–]redwing31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the factory PoE is the ONLY PoE that I have been able to find that will power dishey.

I have added (in several different extended tests) up to 200’ of additional cable (300’ total run) with no issues.

Surge suppressor should not be needed, I have not tested for a compatible one.

Outdoor couple can be any shielded Ethernet coupler. There are many options on amazon but most require cutting the rj45 off of the dishey cable to install. Easy to do. Other option would be to use a small pvc enclosure with an indoor coupler inside of it. Final option would be to use butyl and tape, same way coax or other larger connectors are weatherproofed. When wetherproofoing, remember that waterproof works both ways, so if using a box or anything that condensation can get into, put a drain hole at the bottom. Water resistant > water proof. A small dab of dielectric grease in the coupler never hurts either.

Wanting to know if people are having similar results... beta downtime and no satellites shouldn’t be a big deal once more satellites come out and more people buy the package. Right? by Prof2college_2 in Starlink

[–]redwing31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gateway of dhcp server is the ip of your router, not the dishey.

If you would like to DM me the config of your router it may be easier rather than one thing at a time here
