Thats awesome. I am very interested in how things go with that. Is it a pilot project? If so which business.

This was a Small & Medium Enterprise job. It only used a 9000 modem with a 2 watt radio. It was on a independent gas station that was using it to hook into there Ruby just like BP. Not sure if you have done any SME jobs but thats what this was they just updated these to the 9000's. I also done another the next day just like this but in a hunting lodge.

I have a question have you done any SWM jobs yet? We have 61 of these that we have had since April but cannot start ours until Aug 25. I got an email today about a heads up on techs accidentally shutting off secondary servers. Know anything about that.

the only sme's IVE done have been 1.8m's w/ 2w tigris @ g16 with hn7000 or 7700's i cant recall which modems. i havent heard anything about shutting off secondary servers....but why would techs be touching equipment that is "not ours"? with sme's, they usually have something in place already, so i usually say "see, it works. have your it guy integrate it into your network." that way i dont risk screwing something up royally.

sorry tate, i just reread your question. SWM's, yes ive done one (sorry, we were talking sme then swm...im a little slow you know). all of ours were still on hold til recent. i cant even count how many were doing, but yes i did one. the only reason it was done was because it was a store relocate, and they obviously needed the system in and operational. so i did a full install, not a conversion. its not as bad as the spec read, i dont know how anyone could mess up the secondary though. i mean, i do see guys screw stuff once in a great while, but if you read the specs and follow them.......in theory, it should work. trust me, the cutover isnt that bad, it does take 20 plus minutes. actually, now that i think about it, they use a linux based system, and if your screwing around in there, im sure you could fubar the system somehow. but again, if you READ the specs, it clearly states multiple times "IF ANY ERRORS OCCUR STOP AND CALL SCO HELPDESK". i think thats one of the biggest problems, people dont read. guys cant think oh i can fix my mistake, when in actuality you have no clue what your messing with and how its setup or built. to be one the safeside with the swm cutover though, i had the store mgr. -who was obviously fluent in the store system- assist with the cutover process just to make sure "we" werent making any errors. i can honestly say it went fine.

cool.

So Wyndham is spending all this money at the moment to upgrade to the 7700 and now they are trying spaceway equipment. There is no telling how many of those damn Wyndam's I have upgraded this year. The spec says you can use the same IFL but the idiots that done the installs around here the first time half assed it if you know what I mean. I have yet to see one that was grounded correctly. I do like working with the Wyndham support desk though.

Do you know the Engineer thats going to be over the project?
