Re: [MT-AU Public] Public Digest, Vol 80, Issue 2

20 Dec 2020

      Roger,

If you want to play around and do some “lab” experiments you might want to
try an EC-25 modem in your lte mikrotik unit instead.
Be aware that whilst the EC-25 and your desired Mikrotik LTE unit are
licensed for use independently when combined they are not.

I’ve mucked around a little with this so if you want some info feel free to
get in touch.

You’ll need to communicate directly with the modem via the at chat protocol
to lock it to band 28. You can do that via the command line within one box
or via ssh.

Hi,
I did look at it, but in addition to the lte6 not supporting B28, from
memory the gain of the dish at 700MHz is
less than 0db.
The RFI LTE-XPol-002-5g (And its Poynting twin) Antenna seems good, but
pricey.
And you then have to find something to plug into it.
Regards
Roger

Has anyone managed to get any of the LTE6/CAT6 Mikrotik routers
working on B8 (900MHz)?
I have an LTE6 dish to try out but doesn't do B28 (700Mhz) and all the
towers I want to try it in this remote location only have B28 (Optus
and Telstra).  The Chateau of course does B28 just fine, but it's not
in a dish. :)  There is one tower in the region with B8 proposed but
not yet operational according to RFNSA's site.
The LTE6 stuff is a bit strange, they support B17 which is 700MHz (and
not used in Australia) as well but can't seem to do B28.
I did try the Chateau in another remote location connected to a
dual-cable directional roof antenna set up for a Telstra B618 and it
Speedtested a stonking 129Mbit at 18km range.  It used B3 (20MHz) with
CA of B3 (10MHz) and B7 (20MHz) on Optus.  Telstra only worked on B28
with 32Mbit tests which is a bit faster than the B618.

Thanks for the response, Mike.
I did double check polarity and current ratings and voltage before I
powered up.
The magic smoke all remained inside!!

Hi Andrew!
They are all 24V power supplies, but some have higher power rating - so
long
as you substitute one with a higher rating than the one required, it
should
be all OK ; )
There is also a slightly different cable (and possibly connector plug)
configuration between some (as you seem to have discovered) so you also
need
to be careful that you get polarity right (we all know what happens when
you
reverse the polarity on those power couplings scotty ; )
Cheers!
Mike.

So the evidence seems to be that it has the same mounts but a shorter
cable on
the 1036 and some modifications to the grounding setup.
But it works in the 1036 incase any one else gets stuck in a little
jam.

Hi Brains Trust,
I have a CCR 1036-12G-4S whose psu has gone on the fritz. From What I
can tell it is a 24V 4A Supply.
I have a CCR1016-12S-1S+ It appears that there is a minor revision
between the part numbers, as per Duxtel's website.
WT2400400R3 -CCR1016
WT2400400-R6 -CCR1036
Does anyone know what the differences are and whether I can swap it
out with the 1016 psu as a temp solution....
I got the 1036 going again so its back in service so looking under
the
hood is a little risky atm and I have a few minutes to peacefully
come
up with another solution :-)
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards
Andrew
