'''HPN based on current “Bokkie” router, to become “Bokkie v2”'''
moved to [[High Performance Node - Dev and Test Network]]
[[Image:Bokkie_Router_Pic.png|right|thumb|250px|Current Bokkie router]]


=== 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
 
=== Accessories ===
* Powered 48V power-over-Ethernet injector
*Ethernet Cables
** 1x UV resistant outdoor CATV cable [have different lengths available (5m, 10m, 20m)]
** 1x indoor CATV cable [have different lengths available (5m, 10m, 20m)]
** Need for longer cables, custom make ?
 
=== Other ===
* Wall mounting bracket (different types depending on type of wall - spec)
* Mounting pole (different types - spec)
* M10\M12 Coach Screws and fisher plugs (# depending on wall mounting bracket)
* 10x pack Cable ties


== 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.
