<span>ALCON -<br>
<br>
We will have a BroadBand HamNet (BBHN) Workshop at <span
style="font-family: Arial;" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial;">the
Prince William County Central Community Library next Saturday - on 8
August. <br>
<br>
The
workshop will officially start at noon, but we have the community room
starting at 10 am for initial set up. We plan to use the extra time to
set the room up and then
set up the equipment and have informal discussions as needed. <br>
<br>
We will NOT have access to</span> the library's overhead projector - if
you can help us by providing one, please email Clarence K4CNM
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cmeese@comcast.net">cmeese@comcast.net</a>).<br>
</span>

<div><span><u>This
workshop will concentrate on BBHN applications and advertised services,</u>
but if you have a Linksys router that has not been upgraded to a BBHN
router (or if it needs to be updated) bring it along and we will help
you get it ready.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>We plan to demonstrate setting up the routers with a simple
chat
program, how to set them up to act as an internet gateway, how to set
them up to send video using IP-Cameras,
and how to connect them up to a network attached storage (NAS) for file
transfers,
data access, and data storage. <br>
<br>
If time permits we will also explore using Voice over IP (VoIP) to
establish a networked telephone emergency communications system and the
high altitude
balloon project that is coming up soon. <br>
<br>
Also, if you
are doing something special with your routers, please consider sharing
your results
and plans.<br>
</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>You don't need to bring anything to the workshop - but if
possible bring your laptop PC, your router(s), a power strip or two,
and a <span> 10 to 20 foot, (</span>three prong) extension cord. <br>
<br>
There may be limited handouts
available, so plan to take notes if you want to have a record of how to
duplicate the procedures that we will cover, when you get back home. <br>
