1524, how many Lightning Arrestors?

We want - based on customer requirements - to protect the outdoor APs and the infrastructure behind them from transient voltage surges and near-miss lightning.
I read in this forum that it is better to protect the infrastructure behind the APs by inserting a fiber link in between but we have to meet our customer requirements and protect the AP itself, which makes more sense.
The questions I have are the following:
Our APs are 1524SB's with two 5GHz antennas and 3 2.4GHz antennas. How many lightning arrestors should we use?
The connector type for the AP and antenna is N-type. The only lightning arrestor from Cisco is AIR-ACC245LA-R and it has an RP-TNC connector which is incompatible. Any recommended 3rd party item like Cushcraft or PolyPhaser? What is the part number to be used?

When I had to use external antennas connected back to the ap via lmr cable, we used one per antenna connection. Bridge requirements vary from manufacture. Some require arrestors outside and at times another one located inside.

  • Java mysql ResultSet - how many rows

    Hi
    As a beginner java dude I'm trying to work with java on my mysql database instead of using perl (which works fine by the way). BTW this is not an apple specific question.
    I have properly managed to connect to my database and executa a query which returns a ResultSet object. By using the next() method I would like to populate an array with the results of my query using a while loop. All of this works fine. One problem persists however. I would like to know how many rows my query has so I can creat my array with the correct number , i.e if the query has 10 rows then the array should be String[] Array = new String[10].
    But i can only loop through the ResultSet once as it appears to be detsroyed after that. I have solved the issue by making two identical statements and I use one with getRow() in a while loop so I can create an array with the correct variables, and the other to loop through and populate the array.
    It seems to me there must be a better way to check how many rows a query returns ... i mean if I take the original query an put it through
    int nr = 0;
    while (rset.next()) {
    nr = rset.getRow();
    String[] Data = new String[nr];
    and then do
    while (rset.next()) {
    int count = rset.getRow();
    --count;
    int idnr = rset.getInt("One");
    String name = rset.getString("Name");
    Data[count] = idnr + " " + name;
    the the last while returns null results.
    How can withdraw the number of rows from the ResultSet and still use that same ResultSet in the last while loop? I have a feeling i'm missing something very elementary here.. but being new thats to be expected.
    Thanks

    Darn, just after I posted this I was struck by lightning and found an answer. The ResultSet isnt destroyed its just that the marker is at the end efter looping through a while loop, so if you want to loop again you have to the the marker to move to the absolute beginning.. thsi can be done using ResultSet.beforeFirst() which nice and neatly pops the marker back to its initial state.
    Sorry for bothering everyone.

  • Lightning Arrestors for 3G Antennas

    CSC,
    I have a question on the lightning arrestors for 3G antennas. I think I may have found a typing error in the technical data. We have purchased a 3G-ANTM-OUT-COMBO which comes with a 3G-ANTM-OUT-OM outdoor omni-directional antenna and a lightning arrestor. The lightning arrestor in the COMBO is a AIR-ACC245LA-R, as shown in the link below:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/lightning_arrestor/installation/guide/hslar.html
    On inspection of figure 1 in the link, it shows that the protected side is the TNC male end, the one with the thread for the ground lug. The one I have received, although it has the same part number, has the thread for the ground lug on the TNC female end.
    When searching cisco.com for further information on the correct installation of the lightning arrestor, I found the following 3G-ACC-OUT-LA product. See link below:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/wireless/hardware/notes/3glar.html
    Looking at figure 1 on the above link, the lightning arrestor looks like the one I have received. The table for figure 1 indicates that the protected side is labelled as 4, the TNC female end, but the technical specifications state that the protected side is the TNC male.
    Can someone please clarify if this is a potential error and what the correct orientation should be. I am assuming that the TNC male end should be the protected side, so that you can either attach it to the 3G device e.g. router or use an interconnection cable e.g. 3G-CAB-ULL-20. The cable comes with a TNC male and TNC female at either end.
    Kind regards,
    Ian

    From an electrical engineering perspective assume we have 3 points of entry to the 1522, power, data and antenna. Each of these can transmit a lightning surge to downstream devices ie a switch or an upstream device the ap.
    Generally the antenna will be the most vulnerable point of the installation to lightning strikes. If there is no surge suppression between the antenna and the ap then the ap can be damaged, also it can potentially transmit that surge down the data cabling, assuming the power cabling is protected as you say it should protect in both directions on the power side, but not always.
    This probably means it can manage surges into the ap from the power side from a strike to transmission equipment and the transient overvoltages that may be caused.
    Worst cast scenario your antenna gets a direct hit, the ap fails, the voltage is transmitted down the data cabling and takes out the 6500 its directly connected to! Nobodies going to say you done a great job and were just unlucky and you wont be winning any popularity contests
    Its a question of risk, with an inline arrestor on the antenna cable you are protecting your ap etc. If its on a building and not the highest point its unlikely to get a direct hit. If its on a lighting column and the antenna is the highest point its possible. How much lightning do you get?
    Not sure thats any help!

  • Lightning arrestor / fiber segment

    Does anyone know?
    I'm mounting patch antennas on an outside wall, drilling a small hole in wall, and connecting the antennas to a 1200AP on the inside wall. I plan on setuping up a fiber segment on the cable run to the switch. My questions, 1) Should I install lightning arrestors between the antenna cable and RP-TNC connectors? 2) How long distance should the fiber segment be? Thank you.

    Nope, I missed that point. The (so-called)lightning arrestors should preferably be kept outside on the antenna-side of the fiber link, with the grounding system also outside, if at all possible.
    The idea is to bleed static and surface charges to ground before they can call their biggest bestest friend, lightning, to come over to visit.
    Especially in dryer climates with wind, static charges build up to a point where they can whack the equipment, lightning or not.
    The fiber link will isolate the charges and the most significant power zaps from lightning, but a near strike can still pulse any nearby equipment into containers of useless components.
    SO ... typical layout:
    LAN--SWITCH--[fiber xceiver]===Fiber Link===[fiber xceiver]---AP:::::"Lightning Arrestor":::Antenna
    If your switch has a fiber port, you can just get a single compatible fiber xceiver and take the fiber link directly to the switch.
    The non-coax connection on the lightning arrestor shold go directly to a grounding system (buried rod, cold water pipe ...)on large guage copper wire (I believe 6ga copper is typical for a direct system)
    It is critical that the connections be well-bonded, clean, and as direct as possible with no sharp bends.
    If you are interested in reading up on lightning protection (a nice thing to know if you're installing stuff outdoors & on rooftops)), PolyPhaser (.com) has a very good book on the subject that explains the details of a good lightning protection system.
    Post up any additional questions. This is one of those things that just has to be right or the whole system is at risk.
    Good Luck

  • Lightning Arrestors for Aironet 1522

    Hi,
    In ordering guide, 1522 are designed to withstand power surges on the AC power cord up to 4 kV as per EN61000-4-5 Level 4 & lightning arrestors are not required.
    What does it means? I've install the AP outdoor & using ant58g10ssa antenna. I'm afraid the AP will struck by lightning

    How many iPad charging cables are there?  Anyone know 'officially'?

    I suggest you ask the question you are really trying to discover the answer to; for example:
    "I need a new charging cable for my iPad 2.  I see there are three different charging cables at the Apple Store.  One has a lightning connector.  One has a 30 pin connector.  The third has an L-shaped connector.  Which one (or ones) of these would work for my iPad 2?"

  • How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

    I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

    Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
    Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
    Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
    This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong
    Fred
    Sorry Fred you are wrong.
    If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

  • HT5622 How many family members, computers, iPods,iPad,IDs can you have on one iTunes account?

    I'm just trying to sort out some iTunes I'd issues.  Does anyone know how many total iPad iPods can be used with one Apple ID?  Or how many apple  IDs your can have with one iTunes account? Or does each person need there own Apple ID or Apple account? Thanks

    You can't have multiple IDs on one account, but you can use multiple IDs for different purposes on the same device.
    Just use the one AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore so you can all share your music and app purchases. Then each person should have their own individual AppleID with associated iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, iMessage and FaceTime.
    You don't have to use the same AppleID for all services.

  • How many calendars can you share with the same iCloud person?

    OK Apple people, here is my concern:
    I have several calendars in my iCal app.  I can share one (home) with my wife but for some reason, I am not able to add her to another calendar that I wish for her to  view/edit (work).  She does have an iCloud account.  The documentation on the Apple web site for iCloud states:  " You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. Sharing gives you flexibility in managing calendars. For example, you could create a calendar for your child’s sports team and share it privately with just the coaches so they can edit it. You could also share it publicly with all the parents so they can view (but not change) it whenever they want."
    Is there a limit to just how many calendars in the application that one one can send as suggested by the "a"?
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    All my family devices are tied to one Apple ID.  We did that b/c we would consolidate our purchases by syncing via 1 Mac in the house.  So any device could purchase an app/music/whatever, then we would plug it into the main Mac and transfer the purchase to that and then plug in other devices and add to them.  Pain the rear!  I think my example of tedious process above is one reason for iCloud.  So, now with iCloud we should be able to purchase from any device and the other devices would have access without wires.   I thought the only way to tie them all together is if they are all under the same AppleID.  That is how iCloud knows they are related, right?  Makes sense to me.   However, on each device, we use their own @me/@mac email account to setup iCloud b/c each email is tied to that family member but under the master Apple ID for our family.  Each email account has their own contacts, emails, etc.  I thought that was the way to setup.  Shouldn’t this work?  Kind of separate but yet tied together via the 1 Apple ID.  Thoughts?

  • How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?

    How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?
    Is it possible for one team member to install it for example on a portable mac and a desktop pc at the same time?

    From the Creative Cloud FAQ at https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the Purchasing and getting started section:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both.
