Node Log
4/9/07
Moved to different location above shed, still needs work for permenant install.
13/12/06 - Main router / gateway
Installed router running ClarkConnect 4.0. Provides DHCP and VPN access for private use.
11/12/06 - Added entries for melbourne wireless
Added two nodes to melbourne wireless database, JQM and JQN.
10/12/06 - Installed more permanent hardware
Placed the hardware on the roof in a more permanent manor. Still needs work.
25/11/06 - First Entry
Put the stuff on the roof! Very basic setup with very small, 2dbi antenna. Bridged to node JQN with exactly the same AP. Tested with LOS and established a 8Mbit link - stable over several hours. Removed hardware after testing.
Equipment
I currently own a Belkin 54G AP.
I run ClarkConnect 4.0
Services
DHCP and DNS(external) only. No uplink to melbourne wireless network available as of 13/12/06.
Plans
Upgrade and install more permanent antenna on roof.
Uplink to Melbourne Wireless main network.
Problems
Node is located in a very low spot, and has a lot of trees at the immediate hight level. Could be easily fixed with a 2mtr + pole for local (1km) connections. A *MUCH* higher pole would be required to connect to other nodes beyond this distance.
Links
I used this method to locate my house without a GPS unit. Very easy;
