Troubleshooting BR350

[DOUGLAS EVANS]

I have a building to building setup with BR350s that is not working. Distance is only about 1000ft, and setup has worked for two years. One side indicates that radio is down. Other side is up but is blocking due to no authentications. Is there a way I can further pin-point the problem, i.e. is it the radio port on the bridge or can I verify that it is an Antenna/cable problem ? (visually antennas and cable look ok), however we've been hammered by severe weather the past few weeks, (snow, rain, single digit temperatures). Thanks

Any lightning hits ? Is the equipment/antenna properly grounded ?

So is the root side bridge showing radio down ? Does a reboot help ? Try a swap of the bridges and see if the radio interface on the root bridge comes up. I think the radio on the non-root will be down until it associates with the root.

No lightning hits I'm aware of. The root bridge shows radio up, non-root bridge has the radio down. Reboot does not help. I don't know if Carrier test would be accurate at this point but it shows very low Carrier Busy - 5% to 16 % with the Noise Value at -96dBm (2427 - 2432)

Below is portion of Root Bridge Log.
