Welcome to the HSMM mesh Consortium Brought to by Blackstone Valley Amateur Radio Club And Special Thanks to Community College of Rhode Island
What we are going to be covering • What is HSMM mesh and Demo of our growing HSMM mesh • Intro HSMM-PI VPN gateway • Open summit on what we might want to use HSMM in the future. • AFTERNOON session (separate classes) • How to set up Linksys router with HSMM 1.0 • How to set up HSMM-PI VPN client (and server if time permits)
What is HSMM-Mesh? • Mesh wireless network Using Router that have HSMM mesh software installed we create a network just for hams that is self healing the more routers the better.
What does it have to do with Ham radio • Channel one of 802.11B/G wireless band is shared with the ham radio 2.4ghz band • Ham radio on the 2.4 ghzband allows us to use 100watts of power . Or 50dbm • FCC part 97 rules instead of part 15
What do we use for hardware • We use different hardware one is the WRT54G linksys router. Can be found used for around $25.00 • We don’t need a computer to be connected to mesh with other routers. • You don’t need to be physically connected to the node to make changes. • You can connect to any other node that is connected from your node.
What is HSMM-PI VPN • HSMM-PI is HSMM for Raspberry PI. • HSMM-PI VPN is VPN software • What is a VPN Virtual Private Network Raspberry PI is a small $35.00 open source PC that has no extra peripherals. VPN is a Virtual tunnel that allows you to connect networks thru the WEB (in our case)
What does this mean? • By creating a VPN this allows us to connect up HSMM networks that would not be able to be connected up using the Wireless mesh. • This is done using $50.00 worth of parts on both sides of network and using the internet to connect up networks. Home Router Home Router Web
Summit What should we do with HSMM-Mesh? • The goal of this summit is to take 20 min and brain storm on what we should set up on our HSMM-Mesh system.
Lets Break for lunch • We will be having 2 classes • How to program and set up a linksys router • How to set up HSMM-PI VPN • These classes will start in 45 min.
