Install Plan

Wireless Install:

Network configuration: El Toyon network IP layout and m0n0wall config

Cabling: We will install 2 cables- one from the DSL modem to the Soekris, the other from the lab switch to the Soekris.

Given that the RJ11 telephone jack terminates in the manager's office, we will place the DSL modem adjacent to the telephone jack. Near the DSL modem, we will drill a hold to penetrate to the outside wall (on the side connected to the interior of the courtyard). In addition, we will drill a hole between the manager's room and the ceramics room, which share a common wall.

One Cat5 cable will be fed from the switch in the ceramics room, through the hole to the manager's office, then through the hole to the courtyard, elevated to the roofline and laid out along the edge of the eve along the length of the building to the location of the Soekris mounted in the outdoor box (LAN port).

The second cable (running alongside the 1st cable) will run from the DSL modem to the WAN port of the Soekris and be injected with power at the DSL modem side in the manager's office.

The Soekris will be mounted on one of the primary roof beams of the southwestern most building, as close as possible to the telescoping mast. (This appears to be the highest point). The mast (appx. 25-30 feet tall) will extend from the ground to the roof line, where it will be attached to a supporting beam using a metal bracket. The mast will extend above the roofline by 5-8 feet (as permissible by safety considerations). The omni antenna will be attached to the top of the pole using a hose-clamp or other secure mechanism.
The lightning arrestor will be grounded using grounding wire attached to an 8 foot metal grounding rod, or adjacent grounding point as determined to be safe, effective and building code compliant by Marc Palumbo, QA/Safety/Regulatory Compliance Manager.

Computer Lab Install:

- 10 PCs with monitors, mice & keyboards will be assembled in the ceramics room, across folding tables along the length of the wall, opposite the door. All PCs will be connected via custom length Cat5 cables to the switch.
