NODE HISTORY
19/9/2006 - Bought Atheros CM9 and pigtail to connect to the Galaxy
Antenna
21/1/2006 - Configured the Router to be a client, configured the
firewall to give access to my webserver and to allow my home lan to
access MW. Thanks to David on the mailing list who helped with the
routing and Peter for telling me how to get my IP allocation, now just
to get the rest of the equipment.
19/1/2006 - Recieved my R100 Router Yesterday
21/8/2005 - Obtained a 24dbi Galaxy Antenna from Patrick's place
(Thank's Patrick!)
EQUIPMENT
Planning on obtaining:
Mitsubishi R100 (akin to the Asus WL500G [4]) BOUGHT
100mW Atheros CM9 [5] MiniPCI [6] BOUGHT
200mW Senao CB3
24db Galaxy [7] Antenna BOUGHT
8db Collinear [8] Antenna _MAKING..._
Pigtail: MMCX -> N Female Bulkhead
Pigtail: U.FL (MiniPCI) -> N Female Bulkhead BOUGHT
Weather-Proof Boxes
I will use the 24dbi + R100 + CM9 to obtain a link to someone like
Node FOB [9] who already has a link to GHO [10], unless I can get a
stable link directly to GHO [11] but I doubt it! I will then attach
the 8dbi collinear omni to the Senao and offer access to anyone over
here in the southern region that can connect. The DHCP server on the
R100 will operate through the Senao.
The Antennas will be mounted on a mast which is going to be attached
on the second storey of the house or on the side of the garage
(Depending on what my parents allow hehehe). Hopefully this will be
high enough.
Thanks to Peter from GUR [12] I am being taught the best way to
approach this, and found via nodedb that I could even have a
connection to ILE [13] but trees could be an issue!
SERVICES
I plan to offer DHCP, and OSPF. In addition there will be a SOLDIER
OF FORTUNE server, a WEB SERVER and a WEBCAM mounted at the top of the
mast viewable by everyone.
PLANS
Need to build an COLLINEAR omni antenna. Also need to get some pipe
from bunnings. I plan to get the weatherproof boxes and cat5e cable
from Jaycar.
PROBLEMS
I am surrounded by trees !
