Ventura County Node Configuration Guidelines

  • SSID: AREDN

Best Operating Practices:

  • If you set up a service on your node, make sure the name of that service begins with your callsign, to make it unique on the network.
  • If you take that service off the air, stop advertising it.
  • Point your node at the nearest backbone access node if you have good connectivity to it.
  • Set distance setting to slightly beyond the farthest node your node can communicate with reliably.
  • Don’t enable Internet access except temporarily for specific purposes.
