Waiting for my new Ipad Pro to arrive today!! 12.9" I am super excited to upgrade to the bigger one. We will be traveling in January and February so this will be awesome! Of course I will still be taking my stupid surface with me. But will be using it to run my softphone only
so a $1,200 soft phone, so I don't kill the battery in my phone or Ipad Pro running softphone software all the time. -

-
@Dashrender I have the possibility of needed a windows box here and there. so might as well take that stupid thing but it all reality it will be a softphone

Anything that makes Microsoft look bad is fine by me

Troubleshooting yet another system that was ordered in the US and shipped to Spain with someone who doesn't have the slightest clue on where to begin to troubleshoot computer hardware.....

That just isn't right!!! I'm STILL waiting for Dell to get my laptop into the FedEx stream. I keep thinking it'll show up, but I suppose in reality they will fill a full trailer before it goes off. sigh just hate waiting... GAH!

One of the buildings we cover has a satellite dish that connects them to another building we have. Every time it rains it loses connection. Haven't ever supported a site that has a setup like this where environmental problems were this much of an issue. Should an interesting learning experience.

What is your distance between buildings? could you upgrade to something different and eliminate the drop outs?

Unsure yet. I only heard it mentioned. Have not actually been to the site yet.

You mean a wireless link? Satellite would be insanely slow and expensive.
-
@scottalanmiller Yes a wireless link. Sorry.

If you know the locations, you might be able to use Google Maps to see your distance with the measuring tool. Could show some LOS issues as well maybe.

If weather is what causes the issue, I would hope there are no LOS issues.
But as mentioned, it might be time to upgrade the wireless equipment. UBNT makes some pretty inexpensive stuff for this, They also make some more expensive stuff for this if needed. They have an awesome lineup.

Yup - @Mike-Davis put in a setup a few months back at a site in Auburn(?).
-
I now have hands in Spain, pulling a CMOS battery and retesting the power on this system.
Untested Hands
-
@Mike-Davis what was your experience with that? Did everything go smoothly?
-
Just turned my old iPhone 4 into a cordless phone for work.... It has the Otterbox Extended battery,.. been running Zoiper for 24 hours or so and the main battery is at 90% and the external about 50%...
Guess I'll add it to the dial group and see.
-
Maybe the power supply is dead..... I know this system worked before it was shipped as I set it up and tested it here!
Maybe I should have my untested hands in Spain try and do a paper-clip test on the power supply... it's only 12v. . .
