[d-star] Web Application Test Successful

[Doug Reed]

Definitely made some progress yesterday. Got the RP1 D-STAR repeater 
configured, tested it with my ID1 radio and was able to connect through 
the repeater to a "server" on the Ethernet side. The server had a simple 
web page and I could browse the web page from my computer by putting in 
the IP address of the server. The last thing we did was FTP a 1.5MB file 
from the server to my laptop via D-STAR. The data through-put for the 
test was very consistently 10.5Kbytes per second. It was interesting to 
watch the repeater send about 10 Ethernet packets to my computer, then 
switch directions and my radio send back a burst of 10 ACKs. The web 
page was doing occasional updates during the data transfer too.

We want to play around a bit more with 2 or more ID1 radios on the 
repeater and see what we can about connecting through the repeater to 
the other radio or to other services. I expect I'll have the repeater at 
the TwinsLAN meeting next Saturday and we may get to play a bit after 
the meeting.

Also talked with Ed WB0VHF a bit about getting the repeater into its new 
home. With luck it could be installed at 3M Center within a couple 
weeks, although not in its full configuration. We can do a "quickie" by 
just hooking the data repeater to the 1.2GHz antenna on site. It will 
take another work party to put up the second antenna so we can have both 
data and voice active. We'll probably just put a simple web page server 
on the repeater initially, just as a place holder until the real server 
for the packet interconnect can be made ready. But a simple server is 
enough to prove you can connect to the repeater. Doing more than that 
will require another ID-1 on the repeater frequency that you can connect 
through for Internet.
