AREDN Linking 802.11N and 802.11AC units question
AREDN Linking 802.11N and 802.11AC units question
Question for you: If a mountain top site upgrades to an AC unit, can a mix of 802.11N and 802.11AC units run at their native speeds or would all stations be restricted to run at 802.11N?

AllStar over AREDN
Is it possible or has anyone established an AllStar link over AREDN?
I have two projects in mind actually.
We are line of sight, about 10 miles apart. I have a dual WAN router at my place and want to set it up so if my ISP goes down the network switches to the RF link to my dad’s place and service to the users continues for the Pi’s at my QTH.

I have distributed the pi’s that form the network so there is some geographic redundancy between my place and my dad’s (also a ham). We have backup power which is good. He is also using a different ISP so we have vendor diversity.

AREDN Firmware Update 3.22.8.0 🚨 NEW
The AREDN dev team has shifted into high gear (this is the third release of 2022)! This production release adds the many fixes and enhancements made since 3.22.6.0.
by W6BI Orville Beach
Fixes
Dealt with LAN on AR300M always having the same MAC address.
Fixed default DHCP limits in NAT mode if fields are blank.
Fixed a "do not propagate" issue when reserving DHCP names.
Fixed tactical names.
Fully validate node and tactical names; give better messages when invalid.
Prevent < and > from being used in service names.
Correct map update claiming success when it actually fails.
Added device definition for Ubiquiti PBE M5 300-ISO.
Some Ubiquiti Powerbeams: keep 100MB as the only port speed, but let the port auto-negotiate with the switch to fix throughput issues.
Fixed display of unknown radio models.

Greetings to all.
As many would know I also have been in this space MESH for many years. Going back to the days of BOB setup of the dishes on top of the repeater building with JIM for the Mississauga Amateur Radio group.
Over the last few years we are having group ZOOM meetings weekly about Mesh or AREDN and face to face
www HAMRADIOMEETUP COM
typically at a coffee shop for an hour in the grid square (FN03.ca) range.

Raspberry Pi For Use As A Wireless Access Point
How To Set Your Raspberry Pi For Use As A Wireless Access Point
If you have a Raspberry Pi as part of your AREDN Mesh setup and you’re using an Ethernet connection to it from your Mesh radio, it’s good to remember that the Pi also has built-in WiFi which you can configure it as an Access Point for the Mesh Network. This is very helpful when you’re working on your system as you can use your phone, tablet or laptop to connect to the Mesh, wirelessly.

@Syed thanks for your question. Although it maybe a bit of a loaded question and a question outside of my pay grade.
I expect we understand the fundamentals, the purpose of an amateur radio emergency data network (AREDN). It is to provide typical Internet or intranet programs to people who need to communicate across a wide area during an emergency or community event.
The types of program that can operate across a peer-to-peer TCP/IP network and RFare needed during emergency. They are typically use to communicate with each other in the course of compromised communication network at the time of natural disasters…
This may include keyboard-to-keyboard chat, email messages with images and attachments, file transfer, collaborative document sharing, VoIP phone service, video conferencing, GPS tracking, surveillance camera streaming, computer aided dispatch, deployed resource management, weather station reporting, sensor monitoring and control, repeater linking, and many other similar services.

Has anyone attempted to run their Allstar nodes behind the AREDN network and make it work? Not have any luck with it registering even with ports forwarding set up in IPtables.
Reply: Should be plug and play just like in any other network, don't need to open ports for the Allstar node to register. If you need inbound connections(from the internet) to your Allstar node then you need to Port forward UDP 4569 in two places, on your home network router and on the AREDN node connected to your home network. Reserve local IP for Allstar node under DHCP tab.
If you are attempting to connect your Allstar nodes to each other on the same AREDN LAN, then you need to modify the rtp.conf files and map each node to the reserved IP address.
Refer to this document: https://www.hamvoip.org/multi-server%20howto.pdf
This will also work for Allstar nodes on different AREDN subnets, as long as you hardcode the node number and IPs in rtp.conf
Reply: I setup several AllStar installs (HAMVOIP) which are all setup with both one public and one private node number on a Raspberry PI3B using an ethernet cable (eth0) to the LAN/router/WAN and a USB-to-Ethjernet adapater on a newly defined *eth1* which is connected into my Mesh network. I then "bridge" connect the public node to the private node on the same box and then connect that to another private node (eg, at our mtn top repeater). There are several ways to connect thru. Supermon web interface makes it real easy.

It works great for me but the eth1 setup is a bit confusing at first.
Did a HT-to-local-pi-node thru to private (then over tunneled mesh
connect to 750+ miles aways) and out the other end in reverse. Allows me
to get to my mtn top repeater on different [mesh] paths when/if my
primary part15 5.8 link is down.
Reminder: it's simply digital traffic - AllStar is simply VOIP over
IP-based network connection, hard part is figuring out how to define/let
HamVoip do the network connection path. (detailed instructions left
off)

This group is to encourage the use of the AREDN mesh networking software to create a ham radio network. It's focused on MESH, all hams are welcome! https://groups.io/g/AREDN
Amateur Radio AREDN or Broadband Mesh Network Software and Hardware is for an amateur radio operators who are interested in setting up and expanding the HSMM Mesh Network for emergency communications and high speed data transfer, including VOIP, video, messaging and other networking tasks. Since we are using Amateur Radio Frequencies, at least Technician class FCC license is required. Currently we are using the AREDN Firmware (https://www.arednmesh.org)
This group is provided to share information on the Amateur Radio use of mesh networks first created for the greater Toronto, CANADA area. We are currently supporting BBHN and AREDN firmware using OLSR routing on both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. radio nodes. The 3.4 GHz band is under evaluation. This group plans to discuss all aspects of mesh network deployment and applications such as repeater linking, VOIP and other network services useful to ham radio. EMCOMM implications of mesh will also be considered.

TFTP Firmware Installation For Ubiquiti Devices
2020 June - Latest Stable version is: 3.20.3.0
TFTP is trivial file transfer protocol. When you successfully complete the installation, the login user is ”root” and the password is “hsmm”.
Please Note: This is for a Ubiquiti NanoStation loco M2, please check the list before proceeding. KC7NYR takes no responsibility if you follow the incorrect instructions and brick your device.
1. If you have an earlier version of AREDN firmware on this device, use the user interface (UI) on the Administration page under Setup. Use the correct sysupgrade file. NOTE: Ensure that your WAN type is set to DHCP and not static. Upgrading with a static type of WAN address will brick the node and require a TFTP upgrade.
2. If you are installing AREDN firmware on a new device, use the TFTP method to install AREDN firmware. Use the correct factory file.
