--------------------------------------------------------- + +** diy installation for nycmesh (continued) + +happy thanksgiving! + +today was a busy day w. this DIY installation. i managed to do the +following: + +- added another tap-screw in j-pipe and antenna mast + - this was much easier now that i had the proper cobalt drill bit. + it still was work in the sense that i needed to manipulate the + drill some for the drill bit to catch on the metal pipe properly. + this was a second hole in the pipe. since the first one held up + very nicely i decided to drill a hole perpendicular to that one to + stop the pipe from rotating in the opposite axis. + + i initially had the pipe mounted w/ one screw and began drilling + into the j-pipe and finally got it to reach the stainless steel + pipe. it was not going to penetrate the stainless steel pipe this + way but it at least left a drill mark. i then took the pipe down + and drilled it on the ground to get the hole thru. it was then + super easy to mount the pipe back on and drill the hole w/ the tap + screw. +- remounted antennas and aligned the LBE + - i added the antennas back on the mast but used electrical tape on + the pipe (i noticed pix from other ppls installs that did this) so + that the clamp would get a nice grip w/out any weird slippage. + the bubble level on the LBE did not line up properly so i + eventually added a wedged of electric tap to make sure it lined up + properly. + + - logged into the LBE via its wifi access and was able to use my web + browser to align the antenna http://192.168.172.1/#align-antenna. + - i was getting these signal levels: + - local signal per chain -47 dBm + - remote signal per chain -46 dBm + +- made a new crimp leading to the omnitik antenna + - this took me awhile; i now know i need a small pair of sharp + needle-nose scissors to expedite this process along a bit further. +- ran the POE cable to the 2nd floor + - i made a few service cable loops out of the omnitik and even + wrapped it around a couple roof structures and dropped off the + roof. i fastened it to hook that was present near the 3rd floor + window and another one at the 2nd floor window as well. i even + created a drip loop outside the window. the cable starting at the + omnitik measured 193 meters and when i made my final cut to bring + thru the window it measured 215 meters. 215-193=23 meters which + is ~75.5 feet of cable + +- pulled the cable through hole in the window frame +- made another crimp terminating the cable from the omnitik. +- plugged
