Axiom Cyber Shield
by Philip Loenneker 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

Hi all, After seeing their presentation at the Melbourne MUM, we've been having a look at Axiom Cyber Shield. Is anyone on here using it and happy to provide some feedback, on-list or off-list? It certainly sounds like a good product, but I only seem to be able to find sales pitch information, not unbiased reviews.

Re: [MT-AU Public] Radar detection Chaos Since 6.40.4

Hi Harry, thanks for the comments! (have you tried subscribing to the public list? What happens when you try to add a subscription?) That is only the LIPD class license document but it does not list the relevant standards. The standards list some of the ETSI specifications which according to MT include radar detect operation. From MT perspective, they claim that DFS implies Radar Detect in the relevant standards. I have no doubt that it DOES make that link in the EU specification, but since our AU compliance requirements also refer to some ETSI standard then it is possible that our rules are also affected by the recent updates to relevant ETSI standards simply by association and since ACMA have not explicitly excluded that revision... This is what I am attempting to ascertain ;) So far, I have not been able to find the direct relationships and have been doing the rounds of some compliance folks to try to get to the bottom of it all. It may take some time :-1 Cheers, Mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Why Choose DuxTel for all your MikroTik needs? 10 good reasons: http://duxtel.com/why_duxtel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Follow our tweets for news and updates: http://twitter.com/duxtel > -----Original Message----- > From: Harry Fiotakis [mailto:Harry.Fiotakis@tasmanet.com.au] > Sent: Monday, 23 October 2017 10:39 AM > To: Mike Everest (mike(a)duxtel.com) <mike(a)duxtel.com> > Cc: Philip Loenneker <Philip.Loenneker(a)tasmanet.com.au> > Subject: RE: [MT-AU Public] Radar detection Chaos Since 6.40.4 > > Morning Mike, Phil forwarded me the latest correspondence as I still have not > been approved on the mailing list :( > > https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2015L01438 (Radiocommunications > (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2015) > > 5250-5350 Must use DFS > 5470-5600 Must use DFS > 5650-5725 Must use DFS > > No Radar Detect required (it is not implied) > > We will have to seek official clarification on that if Mikrotik require it, but > with it forced on we are downgrading Mikrotik radios or simply not using > them. > > > Regards, > > Harry Fiotakis | TasmaNet > 40-50 Innovation Drive, Tas 7010, Australia > M: 0418 540 806 P: 1300 792 711 > Email: harry.fiotakis(a)tasmanet.com.au > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Philip Loenneker > Sent: Monday, October 23, 2017 10:30 AM > To: Harry Fiotakis <Harry.Fiotakis(a)tasmanet.com.au> > Subject: FW: [MT-AU Public] Radar detection Chaos Since 6.40.4 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of > Mike Everest > Sent: Monday, 23 October 2017 9:50 AM > To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' <public(a)talk.mikrotik.com.au> > Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] Radar detection Chaos Since 6.40.4 > > Further update on this issue, > > I've had a bit of correspondence with them, but they are 'fighting' it.

B28 LTE modem success
by Jason Hecker (Up & Running Tech) 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

I have banged on a bit in the past concerning Telit miniPCIe LTE modules which work on Band 28 in a Mikrotik. A few months ago I bought a Telit LE910C1-AP from Glyn in Sydney to see if it came up in LTE mode on the Mikrotik seeing as a lot of work has been done to improve LTE in ROS. Alas, no joy so I left it. I recently saw mention of support for a Telit module in 6.44.rc1 so I decided to revisit the whole thing. It works! The Telit MiniPCI module is: Telit LE910C1-AP https://www.telit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Telit_LE910C1_Hardware_Use… It supports: LTE FDD bands 1, 3, 5, 8, 28 and HSPA+ bands 1, 5, 8 CAT1 speeds 10Mbit down / 5Mbit Up. With speedtest.net I got 9.62/4.86 (ping 29ms) Antenna: SRFL026 (single antenna - no diversity) https://antenova.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Mitis-SRFL026-PS-1.1.pdf Price: $128 inc GST, shipping and patch antenna above as a kit from Glyn's webstore. Talk to these guys if you want to order one. http://www.glynstore.com/pages/Contact-Us.html Dean and Leo are always very nice and helpful with sales and support. A company I used to work for bought a lot of Telit 2G modules from Glyn. Mikrotik Board: RB411 ROS: 6.34rc2 Carrier: Telstra (Two B28 towers within 2kms of me) The board interface comes up as 'usb' in ROS which has 7 channels. I tested all the channels with a telnet client and the remote access setting in ROS using RFC2217. Eventually I discovered channels 4 and 5 respond as a serial interface and it responds to AT commands. For example ----- at&v DTE SPEED : 115200 DTE FORMAT : 8N1 GSM DATA MODE : Not Transparent AUTOBAUD : +IPRxxx00=NO COMMAND ECHO : E1=YES RESULT MESSAGES : Q0=YES VERBOSE MESSAGES : V1=YES EXTENDED MESSAGES : X1=YES LINE SPEED : F0=autodetect CONSTANT DTE SPEED : YES FLOW CONTROL OPTIONS : &K3=HW bidirect. ERROR CORRECTION MODE : RLP CTS (C106) OPTIONS : &B2=OFF while disc. DSR (C107) OPTIONS : &S3=PHONE ready->ON DTR (C108) OPTIONS : &D0=ignored DCD (C109) OPTIONS : &C1=follows carrier RI (C125) OPTIONS : \R1=OFF dur. off-hk C108/1 OPERATION : &D4=NO POWER SAVING ON DTR : +CFUN:1=NO DEFAULT PROFILE : &Y0=user profile 1 OK ----- Great! Obviously the mode of operation for this unit was going to be PPP. This is all you need to get it working in ROS: /interface ppp-client add apn=telstra.internet data-channel=4 dial-command=ATD disabled=no \ info-channel=5 name=ppp-out1 phone=*99# port=usb2 profile=Telstra The beauty of this you get to use the assigned carrier grade NAT IP address from Telstra (for example 10.98.250.114) instead of the double NATed address that comes off a lot of dongles. The RB411 has a sloooow 300MHz CPU so it takes a few minutes for the built in serial port and usb2 to come up in the System->Ports menu. Concerning also is when making changes to or enabling the PPP interface would sometimes fail with: "couldn't change interface <ppp-out1> - object doesn't exist (4)" which is baloney of course. A second attempt always seems to work. The next step is to try it out in a RBwAPR. There are faster CAT11 (more expensive) and slower Cat-M1 modules available too but I have yet to try these out. The LE910C1-AP seems good for those that need B28 at decent speeds for OOBE access or 4G failover in Mikrotik now that Sierra is a distant memory. The new Gen2 NBN routers from Telstra fail over to 6/1Mbit speeds so 10/5 seems OK to me for an industrial rated LTE modem. The module also supports and has connectors for a GPS and a 4G diversity antenna but I have yet to test them out. Jason Hecker

Web Managed PDU's
by Paul Julian 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hi all, I am looking at some options for web managed PDU's, preferably 4 port. As we know, occasionally something locks up on a remote site or needs a reboot because an interface has locked up or something, we are looking to implement some remote controlled PDU's for our remote sites as an additional component of our out-of-band solution, has anybody had any good or bad experience with these and/or can recommend some that a reasonably priced and reliable ? Thanks Paul

SNMP Query to Loopback
by Paul Julian 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Has anybody got the later versions of ROS to respond from the correct IP when querying a loopback address with SNMP ? In 6.40 I think they implemented a source address option in the SNMP configuration but it doesn't seem to work on a Dynadish I am configuring at the moment. I am running the latest bugfix version and it seems to work ok on other devices like RB1100AHx4 but not on the Dynadish, not sure why there would be a difference. Any thoughts besides netinstall ? Not sure why it's giving me grief... Thanks Paul
