When networking is turned on, N1MM Logger+ detects the presence of computers on the same subnet that are running the same version of N1MM Logger+, and automatically connects to them. "You no longer need to enter computer names and IP addresses when networking on a typical LAN. This means they need to be on the LAN of the same AREDN mesh node. If you put all the computers running N1MM logging on the same 'subnet', no special configuration settings are needed.
Overall I think our Field Day deployment went very well and with the exception of the loose connection and the anomaly with Hamshack Hotline, everything performed as expected with great success and excellent signal paths. At times a call could not be made to this station although it was always able to initiate a call back to the other locations. I suspect this was something related to the dual path with the pair of AirGrids at that location.
And a strange situation that plagued the Hamshack Hotline in the tent. We had one Ethernet cable detach which was immediately observed on the N3FPJ screen. Throughout Field Day we experienced near flawless operation. The HotSpot also serviced a tunnel connection back to my shack in Fremont in Sandusky County for remote monitoring of our real time stats and overall Mesh Network health. Internet connectivity to support the Hamshack Hotline service was accomplished via a Go Box using a Cellular Hotspot servicing both an AirRouter HP and hAP AC Lite nodes and another Hamshack Hotline. The two shelter locations were also running a large screen display of our real time results via N3FPJ. Each location also had a Hamshack Hotline VoIP line on the network along with a laptop for N3FPJ logging. Due to the longer distance to the third station in the tent, we deployed a pair of Ubiquity AirGrid M2 units each pointing back to the shelters and the Bullet Nodes. The shelters were each equipped with a Ubiquity Bullet M2 Titanium with a gain antenna along with one or more Ubiquity AirRouter HP nodes. The three stations were separated by several hundred feet. Rather than have all three stations collocated, we set up for Field Day at Hedges Boyer Park in two shelters and a third remote tent. The Seneca Radio Club W8ID has successfully been using the AREDN Mesh Network for several years to log our 3A Field Day operation.
