Re: Evdo Tweaks and Tuning
That is an EXCELLENT question, one I've wondered about myself. I was thinking of setting one in KC and another in MD, since these two seem to be somewhat better than others. Then I noticed that the gateway address was in MD, even if both of my HA's were in KC, so I switched both of them to MD, but I'd like to know the real story.
Can anyone here shed some light on this?

Carib, change your rwin to 37960, if you only have one T1 line on your tower...Which, it looks like you do |

said by Derfdog  :Would it be possible/good idea to set the Primary and secondary HA to different cities in the same areas or different areas? Do HAs act like DNS servers? IF the primary falls off the network then the secondary takes over? If that is the case then it might be better to point to different areas, so for example my primary would be Roachdale but my secondary might be Relay, MD. The reasoning for this is that if a primary goes out it might have a cascading effect on the surrounding area(s)and by pointing to a secondary HA that is in the opposite direction (but as close as possible)you'd still have connectivity. The answer to that question is YES. I have my franklin set up to use Atlanta's Area 7 Secondary (.77) as my primary, and Kansas City's Area ? Secondary (185.77) as my secondary. I've noticed each time I connect, it will occasionally sync to ATL, and occasionally sync to KC. Not sure what causes the variance, but it just picks one and runs with it.
So the answer is YES, it is possible to pick two different areas... I picked mine based on info I read over regarding the fastest HA's in the evdoforums thread. I figured I'd try one from each of the fastest ones reported, it yes, it works. Now as if its a good thing to do or not, only time will tell. Remind me in about a week and I'll let ya know if I'm still cookin with it.

HEMI: OK, I'll give that a try, but after a lot of tinkering with the RWIN, I keep coming back to 26280. I'll give it a try and do some speed tests and post the results as soon as I have a chance...this next week is going to be a busy MF for me.
Thanks as always for the tip.

To those that travel alot and want to use a HA close to your location you can change the Primary address to 255.255.255.255 and it will locate the nearest HA to your location. Be sure if you do this to define an HA address for the Secondary HA, otherwise you will not be able to communicate if the nearest HA is not working. |

| DAVE: It looks like you have the EVDO card right in your computer, right? Mine is in an MBR Router and so my connections to my workstations come through their individual network adaptors. Would that change the DrTCP settings?
I've done a boat load of testing and can't seem to improve much over what I have, and it varies from unit to unit. Right now all units are set to 128480 and the rest of the settings are per suggestion of tweak testing. Also, since speed tests can vary greatly even from one to the next, it's not easy to see if you've made an improvement or not.
I was playing around with my panel antenna and pointed it to a tower further away but I'm getting a cleaner signal and data transfer rates have jumped from the 400-700 range to 700-1000. I think this newer tower has multiple T1 lines whereas the former one had but one T1. Just a guess based on performance.
