Questions from poking around Cacti view of network?
by Kenny Richards 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

I was going through the graphs/data available via Cacti server and had few questions. 1) What are the Rainier and Tacoma PTP links for on Baldi? Both are showing no traffic recently, are they for future growth? 2) There are three PTP links at Paine I was curious about. I'm guessing the 'Monroe' link is really Bart's client node. But is the Shoreline and 'Bruce' PTP links purpose? The Shoreline link is showing lots of traffic, is that the uplink from the Westin? 3) There seems to be a big hole in the data in the last 24 hours, any idea what happen? Seems to impact all the data sources, so probably something on the server side? Thanks Kenny

Mailing List Invitation
by Nigel Vander Houwen 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hello All, We’re working to migrate some of our services away from our current provider to new ones, and one of the changes we’re making is with the mailing lists. We are working on moving to Google Groups on our HamWAN.org <http://hamwan.org/> account, and you should receive an invitation to join the new group. If you wish to continue getting mailing list messages in the future, I recommend that you follow through on that invitation. I will send another message with further details once the switchover has actually been made. For now this is just getting the new group set up, and ready for use. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll be happy to help. Thanks, Nigel VH HamWAN

Something must be up with the list, as I've not seen any of the replies you're quoting here. Come to think of it, I don't see my original post either.

[HamWAN Board] VOTE: Approve Digital Fortress Colocation Contract
by Nigel Vander Houwen 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hello, We've been offered space and bandwidth at a local datacenter provider, who has also offered to allow us roof access to place two uplink dishes into our RF network. We are in the final steps with Digital Fortress, and are ready to sign the contract with them. They are offering the datacenter space, roof space, bandwidth, and power at no cost to us, with the provisions that we provide standard liability insurance (make sure our insurance covers them), and that we provide a link using their logo on our website recognizing their sponsorship. The board has been provided with a copy of the contract in question, and I am prepared to sign on behalf of the organization and send in the paperwork. This vote is for board member approval of HamWAN entering into this contract with Digital Fortress. Voting begins now and will end in twenty four hours. Board members, please respond with your votes. My vote is YAY. Nigel

Integrating WL2K
by Bill Vodall 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

FYI - Interesting merge and mix of technologies... Looks like something what would also work for PSDR. Bill ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: mikeaburton(a)outlook.com [wl2kemcomm] <wl2kemcomm(a)yahoogroups.com> Date: Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 7:05 AM Subject: [wl2kemcomm] Utility of RMS Express To: wl2kemcomm(a)yahoogroups.com With the addition of the feature set Telnet PtP, RMS Express has really stepped up as an Emcomm message delivery tool. This LAN capable feature set adds great flexibility and one-stop-shopping for options. Since its release the San Diego environs and Baja California wide area Emcomm LAN has been testing and discovering the utility of Telnet PtP. Instances of RMS Express in Telenet PtP have been installed at various sites covering 30 miles and linked by multiple 5 Ghz Ubiquiti hops. (This is the same LAN topology as Mesh nodes, just commercial based and point to point driven). W3NRG at the LAN Email server site on Coronado island, San Diego harbor XE2/N6KZB home site XE2SI home site XE2BNC-10 at the Cardenas radio site, Playas de Tijuana XE2BNC-11 at the LAN HUB radio site at Abuelita, north Tijuana XE2BNC-12 at the Cerra Colorado radio site, near Otay Mesa border crossing In the past few days extensive messages and files, (many at the 120K compressed limit), have been sent over the network without one failure. Many messages for differing call signs have been left at XE2BNC-10, then picked up by those individuals running Telnet PtP from their locations on the LAN. (A interesting mail drop point aspect). Here is the utility aspect: You have one user-client software that can perform a variety of tasks and protocol delivery. Thus you only have one software to train and gain experience with. A simple few mouse clicks and you can move from one feature set to another. The local radio club station can, (they are on the LAN), use RMS Express in normal Telnet with IP direction to XE2BNC HF RMS Relay. Here they see normal CMS connectivity. Should internet fail, RMS Relay will then deliver via HF Pactor to a CMS. If needed they can change mode to Pactor WL2K and use local HF radio, (or Winmor). Packet radio is also available to the station for use. And now PtP telnet for LAN connections as desired. The local Civil Protection office with a LAN connection and a dedicated computer can run just RMS Express Telnet PtP and retrieve re-directed emails or messages inputted from the club station. What Phil and the WDT have accomplished is a client software for Emcomm that is only limited by what you connect to it, or your creativity. Now perhaps time to leave this alone, and YES it is getting perhaps a bit too much "press" by me, but I do tend to get overly excited when something works this well. Adios

Dayton 2015 opportunity
by Bryan Fields 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

I'm talking with TAPR about Dayton 2015 planning. They have asked if I would like some booth space to talk about HamWAN, and I'd love to get some people that could put a handout together and spend a few hours hanging around the booth talking to people. The president of TAPR, Steve Bible, is very interested with what we're doing regarding highspeed networking. I'm basing my talk I'm giving off these slides http://keekles.org/~bryan/Ham%20radio%20networking.pdf I don't mind working the booth for a few hours on Friday, but I don't want to do it more than that. I also need someone that can put a hand out together. 73's W9CR -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net
