1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,359
okay so my original plan for these yes these right here these are this is some

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,639
cool stuff that we got going on right here was to share the gigabit internet

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:18,480
connection we have here at the office with my house which is about 20 km or

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,320
about 13 miles away unfortunately

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,119
Topography is a I would need a 60 M

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:32,119
antenna tower here at the office in order to achieve that so we are going

7
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,600
back to square one with this video and we are going to structure this as holy

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:43,800
episode four yes we are already on episode four of this segment and we're

9
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:43,800
calling this one longdistance

10
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Wi-Fi the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

11
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:01,000
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,479
check out the link in the video description to learn more so this is the

13
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:10,040
power beam AC a device that I assumed would be a lot more expensive than it

14
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:15,080
was I mean ubiquity sent it to us so I had to look up how much it costs it's

15
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,000
only about 150 bucks and with the kit

16
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:25,200
you actually get a variety of things you get this uh weather resistant plastic

17
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:29,960
shell cover you get this metal dish you

18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,960
get this pole mount right here

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,000
uhhuh you get this fastening rear housing doad you get this thing which is

20
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:44,200
like a mount for the other mount to mount the other thing with degrees on it

21
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,719
and then right here you get the antenna feed this is where the action happens

22
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:54,079
you also get a power over Ethernet adapter injector thing as well because

23
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:57,759
it is powered using PoE so on the side of this guy you've got your power as

24
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:03,439
well as your link indicator and then four bars to indicate the of the link

25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,360
and that's pretty much it oh wait except you get two of them because the point of

26
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:15,560
the power beam AC is to be able to handle a 450 megabit Link at up to

27
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,480
25 km now we are not going to be able to

28
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:21,400
mount these puppies up high enough in order to test that maximum range but

29
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:25,800
what we can do is we can at least do a limited test here in the parking lot and

30
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:30,319
find out if the objective was to share a network connection with someone quite

31
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,120
far away whether it's a shed or whether it's a neighbor or whether it's from

32
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:39,720
your office to your house if you happen to live somewhere flatter whether this technology looks

33
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,280
pretty promising okay so the assembly process is pretty straightforward you

34
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:51,640
take your antenna feed and you no wait oh shoot I forgot okay

35
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:54,040
uh right you start with this

36
00:02:51,640 --> 00:03:02,440
bracket you take this bad boy and pop it under here it only goes in one way

37
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:04,599
then yeah you pop this into

38
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,599
here until it

39
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,599
clicks there we go then you take your

40
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:19,920
pull mount stick it through the thing and finally optionally you can put

41
00:03:17,959 --> 00:03:24,000
on the weatherproofing mount something that I would definitely recommend please

42
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,000
note and this was pointed out to me by my editor the last time around when we

43
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:32,720
did this before our SD card died that this Arrow corresponds

44
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:40,200
to I was sure there was an arrow ah this Arrow right here if you want it to go on

45
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,280
relatively easily now normally you'd have some kind of a pole mount here so

46
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,640
you'd go ahead you'd put that on the pole and then you'd tighten it in and it

47
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,879
would grip like that but because we don't have a pole at least not that kind

48
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,640
of pole if you know what I mean we're just going to go ahead and clamp it to a

49
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,680
c for our initial testing okay so the PO

50
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,079
adapter here is optional if you have a power over Ethernet switch but not

51
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:09,480
everyone has one of those so we're going to show it using the adapter yes we have

52
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:13,879
power then from there without dropping

53
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:16,680
it you plug into the network Port of a

54
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:24,360
computer so we're configuring our Internet Protocol version for settings

55
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:26,800
192.168.1 anything other than 20 or over

56
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,080
254 or whatever it is so I'm going to go with 10 subnet mask we can leave as

57
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,199
default when you click it on there and we're going to set our default gateway

58
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:40,000
to 192168 1.20 and click okay and check it out

59
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:45,120
we're logged into ros7 so the first thing it tells you to do is change your

60
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,280
password I wish that more companies did

61
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:52,400
this where they actually force you to change your password before you can do

62
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,360
pretty much anything else but they don't

63
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,720
and such is life so now what we need to do is we have to configure it with a

64
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:03,120
static IP address that is on the same

65
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,080
subnet as the rest of our Network

66
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:11,800
so uh let's make it that and configuration mode is simple we

67
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:15,919
actually have to change almost none of the settings on this bad boy to get it

68
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,639
up and running which is very very cool okay so now that we've Recon jiggered

69
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:24,280
our network settings we can go ahead and plug into an Ethernet cable that is on

70
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,080
the rest of the network that we want to share and then I'm switching back to my

71
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,560
Wi-Fi here because I'm going to use this direct attach cable to set up the other

72
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:38,520
dish in a minute uh but now we should be able to navigate to it at the new

73
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:41,400
address that I've set for it

74
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:47,240
Wicked okay so now that this is set up we're going to go to wireless and we are

75
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:50,160
going to set up the mode so this is

76
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:54,160
going to be station point to point so it was actually already correct the SSID we

77
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:59,840
can make whatever we want this is kind of like just a normal wireless hotspot

78
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:05,720
um for all intents and purposes here then I am going to turn our output power

79
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:08,720
way down because we're testing at very close range here and I'm going to leave

80
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:13,960
pretty much everything else on auto except security so I'm just going to put

81
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:21,000
a rudimentary password on here which is better than nothing and I'm going to

82
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:23,080
save my changes so as soon as this dish

83
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,599
here we go detects long range SSID with the correct

84
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:36,199
password it should connect to it and we should have a link first we need to hook

85
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:40,440
up the other dish or configure it

86
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:42,560
rather ow a damn that hurt it is highly

87
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:48,160
recommended to configure these while you are still very close to them not after

88
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,240
you have deployed them 25 km apart okay

89
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:56,080
so we're logged into our second unit now what we're going to do is set up our

90
00:06:53,479 --> 00:07:03,000
network settings uh differently from the last one so instead of 64 we're going to

91
00:06:58,599 --> 00:07:06,879
go 66 so we have to go ahead and put

92
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,759
this one then onto the main Network here

93
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:15,280
we are very close actually okay so we are on our last step

94
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:19,879
now we go to wireless on the second unit

95
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:22,680
this one is access point peer-to-peer so

96
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:28,160
the SSID we used was long range okay leaving everything on auto

97
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,400
turning the output power

98
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,360
way down okay so the further the distance the

99
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,360
more important perfect alignment is but at this kind of distance it really

100
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:44,639
doesn't matter much so I'm going to plug in my PoE injected powered thing so this

101
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:50,560
guy gets power and then what you should see on that side if you go around the

102
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,159
side of the dish is in a moment here the

103
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:58,280
link indicator should light up hey there

104
00:07:54,159 --> 00:08:01,080
we go all right rock on so now we've got

105
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:05,759
a link let's test it so okay so now what we do is we go back and change those

106
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:12,639
custom network settings we go back to automatic everything blippity blop done

107
00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:14,879
I'm plugged from the laptop into my pee

108
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:18,400
injector into the dish which is connected to the dish which is connected

109
00:08:16,919 --> 00:08:27,440
to the server room which is not disorienting at

110
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:30,639
all from there we should be able to get

111
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:34,159
an internet connection

112
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:36,360
boom yeah baby all right okay now speed

113
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:40,919
test isn't always a solid indicator for us around here I don't know what it is

114
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:50,279
exactly but the good news is that we're seeing very consistent results here at

115
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:53,279
least we were and while not 450 megabit

116
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:56,440
per second and the wow the upload is

117
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:58,200
going much better than the down link

118
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:03,120
that's very interesting we are still seeing speeds that are pretty darn

119
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,279
reasonable looking for our uh our Dish Dish

120
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Wi-Fi what else we got in here oh they have other tests too so they have they

121
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:14,440
have their own internal speed test so you can go ahead and go oh yeah I want

122
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:17,480
to use this one here's my username and

123
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:21,160
password and start and this will tell

124
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:24,279
you the just raw receive and transmit

125
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:27,600
speeds between the two units and we have

126
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:30,200
a solution this right here is a portable

127
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:35,040
battery bank doesn't look exceptional there's where it charges

128
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,440
boom AC outlet so we're going to use

129
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,399
that to power the dish at the other end of the parking lot now there is one more

130
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:46,480
tool we're going to need that I didn't show you guys before this is really cool

131
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,440
this is the Align antenna tool so you

132
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:53,600
can see right here what the signal levels are in real time so watch as I

133
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:57,800
move the dishes so they Point more towards each other

134
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:03,040
and the theoretic

135
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,040
signal strength

136
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:12,600
improves ah and there goes my battery Bank oh I hope that didn't

137
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:15,079
break okay a

138
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,600
crap this is a lot heavier than I had hoped maybe I should help you no no it's

139
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,959
fine I got this I get it camera people Union can't

140
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:30,360
actually lift a bloody finger to help me with anything

141
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:33,519
okay sorry I got this i got this

142
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,320
okay so I'm just going to start

143
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:41,680
hiking okay so with poor alignment at the

144
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:45,079
lowest possible strength we are still

145
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:48,120
seeing about 200 megabit per second up

146
00:10:45,079 --> 00:10:49,360
and down and that's with Ed standing

147
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:55,880
right in the way of the antenna way to go Ed actually it didn't go down

148
00:10:53,079 --> 00:11:00,120
much so inside the building you had to make pretty big

149
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:07,760
changes to the dish Aline m in order to really affect this here I am barely even

150
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:09,959
touching it so here we are way down the

151
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:14,240
road still enjoying that was pretty much the same

152
00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:18,519
speed test we were doing on the down link

153
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:22,760
and however confusing this might be it actually seems to be running a little

154
00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:27,079
bit faster on the Uplink so there you go you can interpret that

155
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,279
however you want I'm sure with all some tuning we could actually get better

156
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,560
needs out of it particularly down there's probably something where I don't

157
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:37,560
really know what I'm doing but in spite of ubiquity offering to have one of

158
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,880
their Engineers help me I was like ah I want to see if I can do it let's see

159
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:48,480
what kind of a result someone can get just following the most basic rudimentary guide and there you have it

160
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:51,200
holy long distance 5 GHz like beam

161
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:56,240
access point point too thing going on here very freaking cool so guys if you
