Network Server - Update

[AirNav Development]

We continue imporving our server system by adding some new redudant devices and faster processors.
Because of this we've again changed IP address for our main server which my cause connection problems to some users during the next 24 hours. We apologize for this fact.

The good news is that we are signficantly improving our infrastructure to enable further growth on our AirNav RadarBox and ShipTrax networks.

The last time it was a week before your new address was propagated to ISPs in Canada. Can you suggest a public DNS server that I can use until things stabilize and what is the new address?

[AirNav Development]

The new server is located at 74.55.96.226
Ask you ISP to do a DNS flush.

You can also do this on your computer by going to your command prompt and type:
ipconfig /flushdns

DNS propagation should never take more than 24 hours.

AN,

As you say, connections to the server are especially slow today however there would appear to be an additonal problem in that the 'logos' page had entries for yesterday the 5th January which do not appear to be there today the 6th January. The last entries go back to the 4th January or have the 5th January entries been moved or accidentally deleted by the server problems ?

Eventually got this to post !

Just got the forum back along with RB24, still no network yet.

Got the forum back by copying 74.55.96.226 into the address bar.  Is there anway of doing the same for RB and getting the network back?

Can you suggest a public DNS server

You can always use Googles Public DNS, see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

Unable to use 3D (again !!) even though the status on the AirNav website says online.

I would now like some information/ reassurance from AirNav Systems as to the future reliability  of being able to use the 3D aspect of my aircraft monitoring setup. No 3D, no need of Radarbox, simple as that. Quite frankly, since before Christmas the service from AirNav Systems has not been what I would expect.

I am well aware of the reasons why these out outages have taken place. I have no interest in the web based offering being developed at the moment and as mentioned in a post from the RB24 forum:

RadarBox24.com and AirNav RadarBox (the hardware system) are completely different solutions.

It seems unfair that one product should impact on the other.

No network here - not an IP issue

[AirNav Development]

We are still waiting for the new IP to be propagated all over the world. Theoretically it could take up to 48 hours.
We have our extrenal/outsourced monitoring devices and we see that is has propgated to 75% of locations right
now.

The network is fully working but couldn't be available until propagation is finished. Every single feature (3D etc) will of course be fully working after this server upgrades are finished (in 24-48 hours) and we will be ready to solve any extra pending issues that might happen.

I can understand that network servers go down occasionally, but I do have a concern about some aspects of AirNav products where we've paid a one-off, up front fee, that will only work with a live connection to AirNav servers:
    - Radarbox 3D functionality.
    - ShipTrax (the 2 or 4 week rule).

Maybe AirNav should redesign these products to be more tolerant to server/network failures.  Something for me to test in the next beta(s).

Well said that man !! (tarbat)

[AirNav Support]

Thats exactly what we are doing, the last server issue over xmas should not have happened. We are now investing in having multiple server and network points so if there is a failure on one we can use the other instantly to limit downtime.

The RadarBox 3D is Google license limitation.
