Hi,
I have a 5GHz Mikrotik dish and a Ubiquity omni w rocket someone loaned me today. Both are powered by their own PoE injectors. Port 5 on the router has PoE disabled. Previously I had it enabled and worked fine with just the dish.
I am trying to get them both going but having no luck. I was told only port 5 on the router will host nodes- so I plugged the nodes into a Ubiquity 8 port smart switch- and port 5 on the router into the switch as well. Nada. I have the router status page but neither of the nodes are showing up. Both nodes and the switch are showing link lights on the switch.
What can I look for to adjust/change to make this work?
Thanks

UPDATE-
If I only have the omni connected to the router works fine. I see it in neighbors. I also see that the dish IS working and connected to a local high level site. The omni sees it and is using it for the gateway. Just cannot get them both hard wired and coexisting on the LAN.
I powered up a hAP, a nanobridge M900, and a nanostation M5; each via their respective power/POE.
I added a 8 port 'smart switch'; 3COM 3CGSU08.
The nanobridge and the nanostation are plugged into the switch.
The switch plugs into port 5 (DtD) of the hAP.
This laptop is plugged into a LAN port of the hAP.

Is this what you want to work?

I have a Switch 8 from Ubiquity. I decided to use it for the WAN side of things as I have an AP and CloudKey for my home network- plus the Switch 8 is 48V unless I power it w 24V PoE.
I have a D-Link gigabit switch now set up with all 3 nodes and port 5 on the hAP connected. The omni and my dish are showing dtd like your picture- but the last dish does not. It is working and connected to the mesh so it is notcritical just odd. I will likely get a 24V PoE switch ata a later date to simplify things.
