We have a wireless network in addition to the wired.
There are access points through the ship, so coverage should be good. Due to a large amount of devices, “rogue” networks and normal interference we recommend using 802.11a for best performance!
The network is not encrypted and the SSID is broadcasting as “TG12-WLAN”.
By the way, if you see one of these blinking – think of us. (One of our crewmembers wrote disco.pl to make them blink – and we might use it when we’re bored!)
Some of you have asked for a look at this years network design…
I’ve just updated our drawings: This is the current (and working) design for our main network.
All participants are connected to either CoreNGW or CoreSGW via D-Link DGS-3100-48 switches.
(Update: I forgot some changes earlier 🙂
We’ve been a bit busy these last days. The network is working and I’d like to present our weathermap.
