Integrating an
AREDN node into my home network
Preface:
The
subject of this paper is to document a method of integrating an Amateur
Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) node seamlessly into my existing home
computer network.
The goal was
to allow any computer on my home network to access the AREDN mesh as well as
being able to run any service for AREDN by port forwarding to my networked
computers.
At the same
time the home network would function as usual with all computers having
access to each other as well as the Internet.
I wanted the
ARDEN mesh to be as easy to access as the Internet without having to plug in
different cables or do anything special.
My level of computer
expertise is probably above average with a long history of software and web
development however my knowledge of networking is very basic.
I struggled
for quite some time to accomplish this task and found very little help
specific to AREDN.
I publish
this paper in the hope that it will help others, but let it be known up
front that I am not an expert so take what I say for what it is worth.
Adding an AREDN mesh phone to the Obi200
Preface: The subject of this paper is to document a method of using my existing Obi200 ATA adapter as an Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) mesh (IP) phone. The goal was to allow my existing Obi200 Google Voice enabled home telephone system to make and receive VOIP calls over the mesh. This was done to avoid adding more equipment like a dedicated IP phone and also allow mesh calling from my main home phone as well as two extensions in my out buildings.
