=== Enclosure ===
== Hardware ==  
*Based on Poynting Enclosure (Product code:WLAN-A0033)
migrated to wireless dev
*Modification: swap 1x 2.4 GHz omni-directional antenna for 1x 5.8 GHz omni-directional antenna
 
=== Electronics ===
1x Gateworks Avila Board
3x 802.11a/b/g mini PCI Atheros based WiFi cards
2x configured at 5.8 GHz
1x configured at 2.4 GHz
Other
1x 1GB compact flash card
3x U.FL to SMA connectors
1x External weatherproof Ethernet connector with Ethernet pigtail for POE (install on left side – looking at bokkie – keeping with current standard)
4x Gateworks board mounting standoffs
External Mounting bracket


== Software ==
== Software ==
=== bokkie1 mesh distribution firmware ===
Moved to [[High Performance Node - Software]]
This software specification is based on the current free BSD version of the firmware. I have named it "bokkie1 mesh distribution" as a working title (for want of a better name - please provide a nice snazzy one)
 
* A script is used to build the current firmware build based on the platform. Please insert the list of packages\utilites\etc used to make this build.
 
* Additional
** IPv4 over IPv6
*** Allows for automatic configuration of the tunnels
*** Automatic DHCP of IPv4
** Other?
 
 
=== GUI ===
Current details and functionality of the GUI
 
What configurations are done on the command line
 
Need details for further development on the GUI
 
 
=== Remote upgradeable ===
What current functionality exists?
 
What further development is needed?
 
What limitations exits?
* Cannot be remotely upgraded if there is a protocol change


==Further Developments to Functionality==


=== Further development to functionality ===
migrated to wireless dev
* GSM modem to the development network and first nodes in the field
* Watchdog
* WEP security
* Mechanism to get the GPS co-ord configured in the HPN. This can later be used in the visualisation tool on the gateway with a Google plot of the nodes.
