Remote admin is enabled on port 30080 from all hosts with 128.117 IP addresses. However I have not been able to successfully get past the login screen. After entering the password, nothing more appears. Firefox status bar says "Transfering...". tcpdump shows packets arriving from port 80 of isfs4.dyndns.org, but nothing is rendered. Cradlepoint tech help says it is because the signal strength of -80 dBm is too low, that it needs to be up around -65 to -70. He says he did get past the login screen, but I have never been able to. I'm dubious. Maybe its a Firefox thing? Steve Oncley just tried Chrome and Safari. We'll see if he gets inNo luck.
With the system outside, the signal strength showed as 96%, -77 dBm, but still remote admin would not work.
Power Supply
The power supply consists of the following in a cooler box:

On Mar 12, started testing the whole system, modem, router, DSM and power supply in the back lot of FL1 near the yard maintenance shed. Will watch the voltages to see that the HP12, controller and battery can keep up.
Kurt felt the values on 3/13 were too low to maintain a healthy battery, so he turned a pot on the charger to increase the voltage. The values for 3/14 are much better.
Date | HB12 Output | Battery |
|---|---|---|
3/13 | 12.1 V | 12.08 V |
3/14 | 14.2 V | 13.7 V |
Installed
On March 21, at 11:55 MDT, John Ortega installed the system at Manitou. It came up and is online, and has registered with DynDNS as mfogw.dyndns.org. It is mounted on the scaffolding tower, next to the Skybeam WIFI. A little 6" dipole antenna is connected to the Verizon modem. He attached a grounding strap from the gray DSM box to the tower. There is an ethernet surge protector inside the box to provide protection on the ethernet cable coming up the tower, once it is connected. A GPS is on port 3 and NTP looks good.
Here is the current network configuration. Note that it is not connected to the rest of the MFO network at this time.
host | address |
|---|---|
Cradlepoint router | 192.168.0.1 |
RAL server | 192.168.0.5 |
DSM | 192.168.0.10 |
The RAL server at 192.168.0.5 is configured as the DMZ host - the Cradlepoint should pass all traffic, except those ports otherwise forwarded, to the RAL server.
