Jake,

That’s a great signal and CCQ figures. Yes, it’s expected that they drop off when not in use. The modem backs off automatically if there’s not a need.

With regards to a static IP/subnet, when you know what you need/want and things are stable, reach out to netops@hamwan.org and one of the admins will help you out. The backbone does run OSPF, but we don’t have client connections participate directly in the backbone for security/reliability reasons.

Thanks,
Nigel

So managed to get the system up and running tonight. There will be some tinkering that is needed [My mast mounted USW-Flex doesnt want to power the dish with its current power source.. so some work to be done there], and I want to try and get a second link up and running to one of the other towers as well (assuming trees allow me).

I probably need to do a little bit of a better job aligning the dish, but 70dB SNR should be plenty. I am noticing though, that without data being passed my CCQ and rates drop way off… its been a long time since iv played with MT wifi gear, but I assume this is expected?
 
Does anyone on the network want to test connection/ping to me? Current IP is 44.25.131.214
 
Question; I will want to get a static IP allocated here (one for the dish, and one for my router ideally)… and if I recall reading right Hamwan uses OSPF for internal routing.. Once I sort out my 44. Allocation I would love to get that advertised onto the network. Who do I talk to about those things 😉?
 
Thanks again,
 
Jake
