Setup/networking status as of 9/14

Now that I've left I should probably post what I did the last couple days and what still needs to be done.

Yesterday Kurt and Ned powered up the tall towers and we worked on making sure DSMs are staged approximately where the aux towers will be put up, and that sensor cables are all in the correct ports. The idea was to have everything on, collecting data, and on the network, even if the aux towers aren't up yet. Some other site-specific things I noted while doing this:

Lconv

• Ned decided to switch which aux tower is on which side of the gully from what the diagrams show, so the extra tower can be in soybeans instead of corn.
• lconv2 dsm was not reachable despite being powered on and connected over ethernet to the network. Gary says he replaced a fuse there today, but it looks like it is still not reachable now.

Uconv

• I took the long ethernet cables from the station box to use for lconv, so we will need to bring some from the box of networking spares in the base trailer to finish setting up networking.

Rel

• I had to extend some sensor cables to reach the dsms approximately where the aux towers will be. I didn't have the labeling tape so some of the extended cables aren't labeled, but they are all in the correct ports.
• I mounted the spare nano in place of the nano that had been packed in the station box, since that one didn't have any mounting hardware. It's mounted and plugged in but I didn't note the serial number. I also didn't have any plastic tubing with me so the nano still needs to be connected to the quad port.
• Rel2 was missing one of the screws that holds the metal shelf with the pi mounted on it inside the dsm, I replaced it.

The ubiquiti network is up, with the omnidirectional antenna on the release tower. Out of the sites in the field, only P1 and P4 don't have line of sight to the release tower. The link to p4 works fine when the antenna at p4 is pointed through the trees to where the rel tower is, and I expect this will also be the case at p1. If it isn't, we have spare ubiquitis in the base trailer and could establish a relay on lconv, since I think p1 has line of sight to that at least. The link to the base trailers does not work, I'm assuming because line-of-sight goes directly through a barn. There's a faint possibility that setting up a relay to somewhere else at the homestead site (e.g. the tree between Ken's house and the road) could fix this, but I don't think that would be worth the hassle.
