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
by Mike Everest 31 May '19

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.

Fancy Mikrotik Wifi Bridge features
by Jason Hecker (Up & Running Tech) 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

This just got pointed out to me. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Wireless_VLAN_Trunk It looks like since 6.41 two Mikrotik devices in AP->Station will keep track of VLANs and probably other non-IP ethernet frames without the need for an EoIP bridge. The Duxlink Duo scripts might be redundant! I have yet to test it but thoughts...? anyone..? anyone..? Bueller?

Does anyone HAVE a MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN yet??
by Damien Gardner Jnr 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

So I'm currently chasing a CRS305-1G-4S+IN - it would be PERFECT for a fileserver upgrade I'm doing for my linux ISO storage server. They look to have been out a couple of years, but had some pretty serious packet forwarding issues up until a month ago, so probably weren't overly popular. Weird thing is, I spent about 3 hours last night hitting up every 'Tik reseller in the world, and they ALL have 0 stock, and expected arrival times between around the 8th and 20th of April. Does anyone actually HAVE one of these mystical beasts? (And interested in parting with it perhaps?) Anyone know why they don't seem to be available? I was otherwise looking at the CRS328's, but at that price point a single cpu core seems stupendously underpowered with the RouterOS changes recently doing away with the switch chip settings and moving everything to bridges... :\ Thanks, DG -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG.

Certification training 'Stand By' list
by Mike Everest 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hi all! Most of you may know already that there are MikroTik Certification classes running in Sydney later this month, and as we often need to make up some numbers to even up class groups, I'm keen to hear from anyone who is interested to nominate themselves (or someone else) for a 'stand by' seat :) Stand-by places are sometimes needed because practice exercises are completed in groups of 2 for most certification classes, and groups of 4 for routing class. Therefore, when the enrolled numbers do not offer full groups, stand-by list can make up the numbers :) Since there is no guarantee that a stand-by place will be offered, there are some cost savings to be had - so if you are interested, please contact me direct (off-list) sometime over next couple of weeks! Cheers, Mike.

wAPR-LTE-kit certified for AU use :-D
by Mike Everest 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Apologies in advance if this is too close to 'commercial spruiking' for any - if you think it is, please do feel welcome to tell me about it on or off list :-} But since it is a topic that has come up from time to time, and because we have been working on it for more than 15 months (our case tracking database calls it 492 days and 4 hours ;) I just HAVE to shout it to the world :-D wAPR with built-in MikroTik LTE modem has finally cleared the last certification stage and is now certified fully compliant with all relevant AU regulations :-) Woohoo! :-D Cheers, Mike.
