As of noon Nov 14, all 7 stations are set up and reporting.

Cellular comms are good in general, with wslope6 being the only oddballexcellent at all sites, except for some weirdness at wslope6.

When wslope6 was setup, ChrisG reported that the LEDs on the router and modem indicated that it was having problem establishing a connection.

...

The logs at dyndns.com show that wslope6 (isfs6.dyndns.org) registered 17 times with dyndns.org between the Nov 12 11:40 to and 12:01 , each time was with a different IP addressMST. Each registration was for a different IP address. The last address that it registered with was 75.220.246.241, which is what dyndns is still reporting on Nov 14.

Logging into eol-rt-data and doing a tcpdump indicates that station 6 is reporting from 75.220.122.209. This address was not listed in the logs at dyndns.com. One cannot
ping or ssh to either of the two addresses: 75.220.122.209 or 75.220.246.241.

Note that we are getting UDP data from this site from address 75.220.122.209 but cannot login.

My guess is that the signal is marginal at this site. One could bring a PC with wifi to get on the network at this site and point a browser at 192.168.0.1. After logging into the router's admin account, under Status->Modem (as I remember) one can see the signal level. Or, if someone has a Verizon 3G phone, we could get an idea of the signal level at this site.

Perhaps one of the little 6" whip antennas would help at this site, if placed as high as possible on the mast. If we still believe the signal is low, we may need a higher gain antenna.
