Scanning using Winbox
After you have plotted your node on WIND, and added your 360 degree pictures to the bottom of your Node Page, the next step is to scan your area to see if you have line of sight (LOS) to other nodes.
BEFORE DOING YOUR SCAN
You will need to book the area Scan Kit for your area. The following persons will be responsible for the kit and you will be required to collect from them if you would like to book it.
@sharkie - Southern Subs / Mitchells Plain
@cheaptrick - Parow/Goodwood/KM/Plattekloof / Atlantic seaboard
@Jypels - Durbanville/Bellville/Brackenfell
@Stiaanm - Kraaifontein/Brackenfell/Kuilsrivier
@rmx - Belhar/Delft/Helderberg/Kuilsrivier
To do the Scan you will require :
•A Ladder or way to gain access to the roof
•A laptop/notebook to run winbox
•Extention lead to power the POE (power supply for the dish) and the laptop if required
•The CTWUG test kit
GETTING READY TO SCAN
Download WINBOX software
Plug the POE lead into the ethernet port of the Laptop/notebook
Plug the Flylead from the LHG5 Dish into the POE
Provide power to the POE supply.
