the problem is is that not all AP-1000s were created equal
older APs have a BNC connector w/ a 10BaseT jack
newer APs have a RS-232 port w/ a 100BaseT jack
if you've got an older AP-1000 - you've got a x486 processor (basically, the
same processor power as an RG), so *upgrading* from your RG to the AP won't
really do you much good
if you've got a newer AP, life is much better...
Case in Point:
A customer w/ 12 clients recently swapped out a *new* AP-1000 for an older
COR-1100 b/c of a mysterience carrier sense error detected on the AP-1000 -
although T1 is not being heavily utilized, max throughput for end users
drops from 1.4Mb (he's got a T1), to approximately 700k - a few phone calls
later (after which I've been thoroughly thrashed)...we *finally* discover
that he's running the old x486 COR-1100 as the Base - switch back to the AP
w/ new 4.2x code...users are happily humming at 1.4 Mb again...

Subject: [Karlnet] 3.88 polling will not work over 13 clients
I have a base station on the roof of my building I have tried using a
RG1000 with 3.88 Firmware but we came into problems when we got to 13
clients, I asked Karlnet and they told me that the RG didn?t have the
processing power so we updated it to a AP1000. The funny thing is we
still have the problem, Polling doesn?t work. The ping fly out to the
700ms on the RG and the AP We have around 20 Business client on this
unit and the only way we can stop it from happening is to turn the
polling off which mean we get the other problem that having no polling
causes (hidden node etc.)
Any body got any ideas?
Thanks
