Just some geek Pr0n for you on a Friday afternoon. The insides of a Quanta LB4M switch. This is a great switch if you are needing a couple of 10 gig ports.

Cleaning the Dude Database
So as installs of the Dude v4beta are aging they are experiencing some database issues. This is due to a 2gig limit of the SQL version embedded with the Dude. So, if your dude database is crashing, complaining about being full, or just plain running slow it may be time for a cleaning. You can easily verify this by looking in the dude/data and at the “dude” db file. If this is around 2 gig it’s time for a cleaning.
To start you will need SQLLite for your version of Windows. These are available from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html. Simply get the precompiled binary for your OS. For ease of sake Put your SQLite3 .exe in the same director as your dude database. This makes commands much simpler.
Follow these steps to clean the database:
1. Stop Dude service
Make sure to kill the dude process. Simply closing out of it does not fix. I had to go into task manager and end “dude.exe”
2. Dump DB to text with SQLite. (echo .dump | sqlite3.exe dude.db > dude.sql)
3. Rename dude.db, delete any dude.db-journal and dude.viw files. Something like dude.db.old
4. Start Dude service, this should create a new, blank dude.db
5. Stop Dude service
6. Open the dude.sql you created in step 2. Delete everything from dude.sql except for the lines that say INSERT INTO “objs” (including the lines that create the tables and indexes and stuff, just the INSERT INTO “objs” lines should be left)
7. Open dude.db with SQLite and delete everything from the objs table (DELETE FROM objs;)
8. Read old objs values into new DB (.read dude.sql)
9. Start Dude service
20,000 records took me a few hours to read back in. Just let it run. If you are curious on progress have the window open with the dude.db file. You should see the size of it growing during the read process.

Syncinjectors and PMP450i
This was posted to the AFMUG mailing list from Forrest at Packetflux. Applies to folks with PMP450i and SyncInjectors.
We have recently become aware of a potential issue when using a SyncInjector with a PMP450i. The short version of this issue is that with certain cable runs (mostly longer ones), a PMP450i will refuse to accept the sync from the SyncInjector as valid, even though the pulse is perfectly valid and should be accepted by the PMP450i.
Currently, there are two ways this can be fixed. Since the pulse is valid, but just not recognized as valid by the currently shipping PMP450i firmware, Cambium could fix this in software. I believe they are currently investigating this as an issue, and I honestly expect them to release a fix assuming it isn’t a major issue to do so. If this happens, it should address all of the existing SyncInjectors in the field which our customers may want to use in the future with a a PMP450i.
The second way to fix this issue is for us to modify our sync pulse slightly so that it is in line with what the PMP450i is expecting. Because this modification has some additional benefits beyond better interoperability with the current PMP450i firmware (such as the modified pulse being less likely to induct noise into adjoining cables), we have decided to proceed down this path as well.
During the next week or so, we will begin shipping Revision I0 of our Gigabit SyncInjector Product. The first of these are currently working their way through our assembly line. This version contains improved support for voltages above 58V and also the waveform modification mentioned above. It should be functionally identical to the earlier Revision H0 SyncInjectors. It is not our intention to update our non-gigabit injectors at this time.
If you are currently having problems with sync over power on a Gigabit SyncInjector and a PMP450i, please send an email into custsvc@packetflux.com and we will work with you to ensure you have hardware which will work with your hardware.
