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 <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
