NODE HAL
Location: Hoppers Crossing
Equipment:
* Wireless Card: D Link 520+ in PIII desktop
* Antenna: at present 21 dBi parabolic reflector at 8 metres
* Cable: 20 metres of LDF4-50A. plus tails
APS HEARD
At present the only wireless.org.au community nodes I have heard is
Node GHO at Mt. Dandenong a distance of ~62 Km. An estimate of the
link performance is calculated below in the table as is the display of
the D Link card for the GHO node. Ping times as indicated with speed
set to “auto”.
FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.
Increase antenna gain and height but not exceeding EIRP limit.
Conduct tests with manually selected different link speed settings,
to determine optimum settings;
* plot results with ping packet loss Vs speed
* packet length Vs speed Vs loss. For other traffic.
UNRELATED TRIVIA.
HAL the mission computer on “2001 A Space Oddessy” and I share the
same birthday but not the same birthdate!
_Note the Tables and images did not import they where just screen
grabs of the link quality and speed from the D-Link utility and Ping
times to from GHO. plus a small link design table for the link HAL -
