This is one of those situations where measuring the voltage with the
system 
not under load isn't good enough.  If you have a poor connection, the 
voltage will drop under load, causing the AP to drop off-line.  

I know that my MasterView display can show system voltage and I believe 
that was partially how I found the problem one of the times.  I'm not sure

if you can display that on a ST6000/ST7000 control head.
