Maintenance and System Log

• 2011-01-26: DSL was turned up

• 2011-01-29: An AlixCab was plugged in with a radio. Possible sites for SkyPilot equipment were investigated and photographed.

• 2011-02-10: RussellSenior met with representatives from Portland Parks and Recreation about mounting a SkyExtenderDualBand on a light pole in Arbor Lodge Park.

• 2011-02-12: Installed two SkyPilots. Thanks volunteers AaronBaer, RussellSenior, MarinoDuregon, ChrisShirkoff, TedBrunner, SteveTree!

• 2011-02-13: Fixed last problem with cat5 PoE to SkyGateway, network is *ALIVE*!

• 2011-10-16: Installed two more SkyExtenderDualBand devices on nearby homes. Thanks to AaronBaer, MatthewKlug, MarkMcMorine, CaseyRivenbark, MarinoDuregon and KeeganQuinn for volunteering! Thanks also to the homeowners that graciously have offered to host the devices!

• 2013-01-25: Updated firmware to r35318 with linux kernel version 3.7.4, deploying IPv6. --RussellSenior

• 2014-01-03: Replaced the alix2 with a unit with a newer case (and rp-sma pigtails and wallmount kit), plus a firmware and splash page nag update. Secured the gear to the garage wall with screws, so somewhat less messy. Also, got the local wifi access point back into operation after an extended outage (two SkyPilot SkyExtenderDualBand devices are also in operation, another has been lacking power and has a unenthusiastic host). --RussellSenior

• 2015-08-29: Installed a new SkyGateway to replace the original one in a new location, currently served by a 7Mbps DSL connection. JasonBergstrom, DanieleValli, and RussellSenior participated, also replaced the alix (r46725) and recovered the old one. The old SkyGateway is still in place, pending contact with the new owners.

• 2016-12-29: Made a service call today after receiving a report that the mesh had been out for a number of days, got access and found that the ethernet cable had fallen out of the PoE injector. Reinserted, network recovered. --RussellSenior

Notes

• This node is the first redeployment of the SkyPilot equipment from the defunct MetroFi network.
