July 10th:
Antenna and all work properly, indoor and out.
Hole house and all others south to college entrance have good line of 
sight.  Trying for teetor.

Aironet bridges if both wired to the ethernet will flood net sending 
packets to eachother. 

Frequency changing on Aironet seems to make little if any difference.   

Skyline card connects very well to Airport but very poorly to Aironet and 
will only connect to bridge 0 whether set as a root(base or parent) or as 
a client.

Fixed by changing configuration on bridge. Specifically the throughput on 
bridge and 802.1h on card.

July 11th:
New Skyline difficult to use.  connects but is unusable.  testing with old 
card going well.

July 12th:
Aironet can have 2 bases in same area however must have different SSID so 
that they do not talk to one another and flood the network.  Can't setup 
second airport yet.

July 13th:
Frequency changes make big difference for long range.  High frequencies 
are best sor now.

Airport on same SSID will work together.  Not sure how much together.  
Simply rescan to get different port.

July 16th:
Got iBook, and found that PC card fits in under keyboard.  Works well with 
Airport.

July 17th:
Quark down most of day.  Teetor house still good.

July 18th:
More talk of the general strategy, The Plan, cable modems, etc.

July 19th:
Wireless in lilly distance testing, need to do a little more to determin 
for sure if one or two bases are needed.

July 20th:
Wireless testing in lilly, need to do more to get configuration just 
right.  Seems like airport can revert to default.

July 23rd:
Morning work, connection to teetor still good.  Trying to understand the 
plan outline.

July 24th:
Plan filling in well, lots of competetors not sure what to include.  Wireless looks like 1 airport 
in library will make corners unreliable so two woud be best.  For runyan one in hallway accross from restrooms 
will 
cover from desk over on that end.  Are we looking to do art side of runyan?

July 25th:
More research for "the plan."  Few competetors for long range wireless.  

July 26th:
Tested at Wilderness and Fry.  More plan work.


July 27th:
Trying to find security features for wireless bases.  More work on the plan.
To make SSID or "network name" as the configuration on a mac calls it you simply must go to the 
configure menu and under the Airport tab, check "Create a closed network"  This causes the user 
to enter the name in as a password.  There is also a way to restrict use to only a list of 
clients using hardware addresses, this is in the configuration tool under "Access control."
Changing to a closed network makes link quality very poor on farallon card, however bandwidth is 
still high.

July 30th:
Lookover outline, make more changes, pushing toward general outline done by tuesday afternoon. 

July 31st:
Setup Aironet to hub to Airport to ibook an it all works and bandwidth is very strong.  Should work 
fine substituting a cable modem for the Aironet.  List for access control is basically an excel 
file, however doesn't like the format if edited and saved in excel.  After making an access list 
exporting and then importing to other bases is easy.

August 1st:
Switching from airport to airport running NAT is a problem for both PC and MAC.  To make 
iBook work you must open TCP/IP config and change to something else, then back to DHCP, close window 
and say yes when asked to save.  This resets the NAT connection and reconects the iBook.  For a 
PC(Farallon) you need to stop the card, remove it and then reinsert it, this also restarts it's 
settings and it will configure to the first station it connects to. This will however, lock up a 
windows box some of the time.  The only way to set up roaming and not have this problem is to disable NAT.

August 2nd:
Looking for antenna specs specifically angle of beam.  Talking to enterasys about trial period 
and looking up harware they are going to send.

August 7th:
Finished testing in Lilly, desiding that we will need 3 to cover it all.  Also getting 
elevation of EH and Dennis, will get Dennis in the morning.  Doing more with antenna specs, 
found one company in particular with many good antenna.  

August 8th:
Finished up elevation testing, GPS shows od data every now and again, but seems to have settled down.  
Reserched Oberlin College's wireless setup and sent an email to there comp center, hope to get more 
info soon.  Trying to finish off as much as possible the plan.

August 29th: 
Move into Dennis complete.  1 ariport in CS/Math lounge and enterasys soon to be in 4th floor lab.  Also 
about to put up antenna for 2.4Ghz to Norwich.  

August 30th: 
Meetings set for monday at 4p.  Working with Hanna and Aaron.
