Hi Rohan
Yes you put 10.10.1.84 on your linux box wlan interface.
The canopy's act as bridges , so as long as you have good connection of
which 800 and jitter at 1-2
sounds good, they'll just pass over the ip traffic to the hvc router,
which is a separate box.
So on your end , one eth goes into the canopy with 10.10.1.84 netmask
255.255.255.240
and another eth into your network.
Upto you on the security stakes internally.
as for ospf refer to
http://www.melbourne.wireless.org.au/wiki/?GenericOSPFConfig
you'll need to install quagga on your linux box and quagga-ospf
but here's hvc's files for your reference (the hvc is a mitsubishi r100
ap running openwrt)

thx peter, tim
ok i think i get it.
so in my circumstances given that im going to use an old linux pc as a
router, i should plug the canopy into the linux box assign myself an ip
(say 10.10.1.84) with a netmask (is this the same thing as a subnet?) of
255.255.255.240 and i should get a connection?
what happens when i connect? i imagine i'll be able to ping 10.10.1.81
(tims canopy router) to see if its working. will i be able to access
other nodes just by typing the ips on the melbwireless site in smb ? is
there some kind of script for when you connect that will direct me to an
internal version of the melbwireless site?
how do i configure ospf? how would i get that on a linux box? is there
some router software that comes with it i could use?
rssi needs to be above 700 and the jitter below 15, is this correct? (i
was getting rssi easily above 800 and jitter at 1-2).
thx

Hi Rohan,
Welcome to the network.
I've modified the config at HVC and OSPF is now active on the
canopy's.
refer to
http://www.melbourne.wireless.org.au/wiki/index.php?NodeHVC
and allocate yourself an address in the subnet.
The way to configure things your end is;
Plug the canopy into an eth port on your router & make the
10.10.1.x address on that port, not the canopy.
then configure ospf on this router.
You are welcome to use two addresses and use one on the canopy
if you desire so you can still monitor it.

hello there,
last sunday the 29th we finally accomplished what we've been
trying to do for the last few months, we got a connection to HVC from
JSG in North Carlton.
we'd been trying with all sorts of things prior to; improperly
terminated lengthy rg213 + cantennas, omnis and parabolics neither of
which amounted to anything. finally we got our hands on a canopy from
tim hogard - which i must admit didn't immedietly work presumably
because of noise- + a satellite dish from Dave Ashburner and there a
working solution was born.
instantly the difference was observed even though we hadn't
calculated the correct angle to place the canopy on the sattelite dish
(we rather just adhoced it). practically immedietly the thing
registered.
anyways now the next step is to confirm the configuration of the
thing and get a permanent setup hhappening.
from memory i recall tim telling me: rssi needs to be above 700
and the jitter below 15, is this correct? (i was getting rssi easily
above 800 and jitter at 1-2).
and then next up i have to allocate myself an IP between
10.10.1.130 <http://10.10.1.130/> and 10.10.1.140 <http://10.10.1.140/>
.
thats what i;ve sussed out so far. if it is properly configured
what should i expect to happen? can i google? which addresses should i
ping to confirm servers and vital services and all that.
i imagine the melbwireless site should come up or something or
maybe tims abnormal site i dont know but i'm keen to find out!!!
ps. i just now applied to get my own ip allocation (however that
fits into the scheme of things)
thx
