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] 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 [5] 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;
