Node notice board:
| |
Access Point: SebbyNet
|
Status: |
Fully operational AP |
|
Plans: |
- Investigate a possible fault with the
super pass omni antenna.
Status: tests
completed, fault not found
Details: Linking to the omni antenna is
no longer possible from the node GQ, linking to the omni
antenna from node Meekys is possible and achieves a acceptable
signal, but results in extremely poor downlink data
throughput. Linking from node JulzNet is possible and achieves
a great signal but also results in poor data throughput. The
fault could be in the antenna, the coax cable run, the pigtail
or in the access point.
One of the tests to determine the fault will involve mounting
the AP on the antenna mast to eliminate any loss from the long
run of coax cable.
When: A day no later then 31/10/2003
Affected clients / links: ALL!
Expected down time: Up to 2 hours
Requirements:
Two people
- Stumble for other known access points.
Status: still
be be done
Details: Node SebbyNet is ready to
expand by linking to an Adelaide based access point. A link to
Air-stream-Pasadena is possible. A better link to
Air-stream-Glengowrie could be achieved. Also links to
Air-stream-Ridleyton, Air-stream-Skye, Air-stream-Carrickhill
and Air-stream-Julia_Farr will be investigated.
When: ASAP, preferably on the same day which the omni
antenna is repaired.
Affected clients / links: ALL Directional links.
Expected down time: Up 1 hour
Requirements: One person, quicker with two people
- Upgrade JulzNet link AP to a Minitar
Access Point.
Status:
completed with success
Details: Where possible, the SVEC APs
are being replaced with Minitar APs to gain 3dB in signal
strength and a easier to use WEB interface.
When: No later then 2/11/2003
Affected clients / links: Client JulzNet
Expected down time: Up to 10 minutes
Requirements: One person
Requirements:
Collection of Minitar APs
- Attach a third parabolic antenna.
Status:
completed with success
Details: Node SebbyNet is ready to
expand by linking to an Adelaide based access point. Once a
access point is choose a link can be established.
When: ASAP, preferably on the same day when stumbling
for APs.
Affected clients / links: ALL!
Expected down time: Up 1 hour
Requirements:
Two people
Requirements: 25dB Hills
parabolic antenna from Ben
- Setup a Linux router box.
Status: still
be be done
Details: Node SebbyNet will require a
more advanced and secure router box as it's network links
expand. High priorities include implementing OSPF routing
protocol, some form of QoS and a advanced firewall. Other
features include VPN server.
When: ASAP, preferably have first trial of server by
1st of December 2003
Affected clients / links: ALL!
Expected down time: unavailable, expect many short
outages over a few hours as final configuration is completed.
Requirements: Linux technician
Requirements:
Replacement power supply
for HP box

Node: GQ
|
Status: |
Fully operational node |
|
Plans: |
- Test a link to node Damien
Status: still
be be done
Details: A client in Hendon is
interested in linking to our WAN. It will be difficult to get
a signal from node SebbyNet due to trees in the golf course.
However, node GQ can be used as a relay point. The test will
involve mounting an omni antenna at node GQ and stumbling the
omni from node Damien. The omni will allow other future nodes North of Node
SebbyNet to link to our WAN.
When: ASAP, preferably on a weekday with a start time
no later then 1pm or a weekend
Affected clients / links: nil.
Expected project time: Up 1.5 hours
Requirements: Sebastian to provide the hardware
Requirements: Bernie to provide the replay
location
Requirements: Damien to provide the interested
node
- Upgrade SebbyNet link AP to a Minitar
Access Point.
Status: still
be be done
Details: Where possible, the SVEC APs
are being replaced with Minitar APs to gain 3dB in signal
strength and a easier to use WEB interface.
When: unavailable
Affected clients / links: Client GQ
Expected down time: Up to 1 hour
Requirements: One person, quicker with two people
Requirements: Someone to buy the SVEC access
point

Node: JulzNet
|
Status: |
Fully operational node |
|
Plans: |
- Upgrade SebbyNet link AP to a Minitar
Access Point.
Status:
completed with success
Details: The current client PCMCIA card
will be swapped to a Minitar AP.
When: No later then 2/11/2003
Affected clients / links: Client JulzNet
Expected down time: Up to 10 minutes
Requirements: One person
Requirements:
Collection of Minitar APs

Node: Meekys
|
Status: |
Fully operational node |
|
Plans: |
- Investigate a possible fault with the
link to SebbyNet.
Status: tests
completed, fault not found
Details: Linking to the omni antenna
from node Meekys is possible and achieves a acceptable
signal, but results in extremely poor downlink data
throughput. The
fault could be in the omni antenna at node SebbyNet, or due to
non-clear LOS to SebbyNet
When: A day no later then 31/10/2003
Affected clients / links: ALL!
Expected down time: Up to 2 hours
Requirements:
Two people
Requirements: Qcheck test tool to work between
SebbyNet and Meekys
