NodeFBD
Location: Moorabbin
Owner: txrx
Status: operational
Update - 20021202
Situation has changed in a pretty major way at FBD, heres the brief:
- omni has been replaced with a connifer on a 10m mast
- numerous changes of gateway machine and hence, settings. please disregard setup details below. e-mail/fone for current conf.
- stuff stuff and more stuff. check out
this page for some piccies. - and this one for some more..
Line of Sight:
Photos and the latest updatesCurrent Hardware/Software:
I am currently running a *BSD based laptop in IBSS mode as my 'AP'.The Omni on the roof goes most of the way around the block with no antenna on the client, with an antenna you can usually pick it up from South rd and Nepean HWY.
The ESSID is ion.wireless.org.au
No DHCP is being provided ATM but i will in future when im more comfortable with it. If you're in the area - or not, and you can 'see' me, set a manual IP of something between 192.168.1.50 - 192.168.1.100 with the Default Gateway of 192.168.1.8.
Services:
- Web server; check that page/site for further/updated details.
- Samba; yup, im a sucker. If ive been lazy you may have available shares connected to my internal LAN. The CD-Rom is shared also.
- DHCPD; its there but dosent serve that interface ATM.
- OSPF/Zebra; ah yeah, a tad premature that one.
- SSHD; You want a shell ?. ask.
- Others; sif.
Notes:
20020903I have long since removed the IDS, portscan it if you desire.
NO 'net access is available via this unit.

Ive been making Omni's from
this design, with a few minor modifications. I have the 24 element unit on my roof have built a couple of 12 elements and 8 element units also. The diff between the 12s and the 8s is marginal - now that the design is tested and proved i'll continue to build the smaller 8 element (8dBi) Omnis and sell them on purely a 'cost recovery' basis.If you're interested, drop me an e-mail.
Configuration:
Currently I have the AP at 192.168.1.8.No DHCP, set your address at anything above 192.168.1.50/24.
SSID is ion.wireless.org.au
Added NodeFFA to nodemap. This node is the Compaq. Usually in-car.
Obstacles:
Pfft. All obstacles are there to be overcome. If you have issues you think you can't get past, please e-mail me with the details and i'll do my best to suggest either a workaround or an alternate solution.(20020503)
Money is probably _everyones_ problem, I've got more pressing things to do with
it ATM. I do however have a _lot_ of existing gear and can build anything from
anything - A-team style. The Compaq is filling in for a more permanenet
solution.
An antenna is not far away, hopefully the next 2 weeks. pfft
Progress:
20020423: posted link with
node Line of Sight pics and stuff.20020425: updated this here page. stumbled node EAI in the car with ^Yob
20020403: updated this here page. completed AP 'testing' setup. Current
status 'available for close-range leeching'
20020505: updates. Created new node for Compaq as plans become more clear. NodeFFA is a near-future 'mobile' node.
20020903: been a long time between updates, but its pretty much done. Currently in the process of linking with Rik up the road from me.
