137.229.29.90: /* PakBus etc. */

Here's a page started by Bob. Not sure how often I'll be adding stuff but it's been on my to-do list. Thought I'd start with packages added to the toughbook.
===COTS network system===
It's not the cheapest way to go but I thought going for commercial hardware for the network components would be the way to go. We'll see once the site is operational for a winter or two. Presently, what I have going on is something like this:

This antenna picks up WiFi from a building at PFRR: 
[http://www.radiolabs.com/products/antennas/2.4gig/backfire.php RadioLabs very directional antenna] 

This WiFi adapter has a linux compatible chipset and was easy to setup: 
[http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/wave-magnum.php RadioLabs Magnum II USB Adapter] 
This powered USB extender (extend using ethernet cable from box to box) allows the usb wifi adapter to be up on the tower, minimizing the coax losses on the run to the antenna: 
[http://www.networktechinc.com/usbc5.html XTENDEX USB-C5-CE] 
I picked up some underground burial suitable Cat5E to go from the computer usb extender to the tower usb extender: 
[http://www.buy.com/prod/75ft-outdoor-waterproof-cat5e-ethernet-cable-direct-burial/q/sellerid/18349122/loc/101/211959049.html purchase link] 
So those items combine to get you to the computer.

I have two CSI white boxes. One to house the computer and one to house the tower USB & WiFi stuff. Each is lined with blueboard, sealed with duct seal, and has some extra desiccant to keep it dry, hopefully warm enough in the cold, time will tell on that though. I'll crunch the numbers at some point to see how much heat is being generated / how quickly it's dissipating.
I don't expect to need to use the toughbook directly, should be available for sshing from UAF proper or via wired ethernet onsite but on the off chance I do need to connect locally, I have a VGA adapter connected to the computer and will leave a surplussed CRT monitor out at the site. Connection to the laptop will be via a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo: 
[http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch_v3.asp?scriteria=5177008&pagetitle=Solidtek%20KB-3962B-BT%20Mini%20Bluetooth%20Wireless%20Keyboard%20B purchase link] 

The computer is then connected to a network switch. This allows it to connect to the local NL100 and handle any local DHCP traffic. Probably a future upgrade will be a wireless bridge to allow other computers access to the internet / reduce the amount of brittle cabling laying about in the shed. See below for information and particulars of the software setup.

===Toughbook Setup===
Toughbook is a CF-19 (small one with the touchscreen)
# Install [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu 10.10]
# Install [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator Xinput Calibrator] as per suggestions [http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic/524581-ubuntu-10-10-toughbook-version.html here]
# Install [http://numpy.scipy.org/ Numpy]
# Install [http://git-scm.com/ Git]
# Install DHCP server for local network access on eth0 (wlan0, intel chipset installed on toughbook wasn't designed to serve as a wireless access point)
# Install DNS Masq for supplying dns to local network (eth0 only) [http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html dnsmasq website]
# Manually configure IPTables for [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing internet connection sharing]
## See rules on internally accessed folder (must be within iarc.uaf.edu to view & not through browser)
# Install Loggernet for Linux
## Handy: [http://technodope.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=83:how-to-install-an-rpm-package-on-ubuntu&catid=50:unix&Itemid=78 this page on rpm to dem]

## Handy: [http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/debian/debchanges.txt Redhat vs. Debian naming convention]
## Gist is to change the daemon command in '''csilgrnet''', '''csildmp''', '''csildep''' to something like this: ''start-stop-daemon --start --user loggernet --exec /opt/CampbellSci/LoggerNet/csilgrnet -- --run-as-daemon=true''
# LoggerNet isn't initially running at start. For [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto ubuntu]:<pre> cd /etc/init.d; sudo update-rc.d myscript defaults 99 01</pre>

cd ~/working_files/bin/py_datapro/
git clone git@github.com:frankohanlon/DataPro.git</pre>
# sftp datapro configs
# Buy a bluetooth keyboard/mouse
# set up sshd
# set up keys w/ toughbook & iarc.server
# add sites to loggernet
# Add Internal Temperature monitoring for the toughbook see [http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-monitor-hard-drive-temperature.html Ref 1], and [http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-get-sensors-information/ Ref 2]

# Figure out problem with soil heat flux plate
# Emailed [http://people.iarc.uaf.edu/~bbusey/pfrr_super-site/soil_probs.html this site] to CSI 11/30/2010.

===Local Network===
I'd draw pictures if I knew how. Anyway:
* Small Toughbook gets internet over wlan1 from the Poker Flats facility over DHCP
* Out of eth0, the wired ethernet port, it acts as a DHCP server on the 192.168.1.1 address range.
* The site NL100 is set to 192.168.1.2
* The camera is set to _____
* There is a network switch so that other devices can also connect such as the eddy flux down the road.
