We took 10.10.1.88 for Rob at FZJ today too.  Maybe we need a wiki table for people to book out an IP address. (as per how it's done with GHO)

  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 and 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
