This document is a work in progress and should be considered a draft until this message disappears.

Welcome to the MikroTik Wiki page. Here you will find items specifically about using MikoTik devices and software as it relates to Ham Radio and/or AllStarLink/PTTLink.

General Information

Mikrotik Website: https://mikrotik.com/

AMPRNet/44Net

You can use MikroTik devices as a way to connect to AMPRNet/44Net. Once connected, you can then setup your AllStarLink/PTTLink node with a 44Net IP address.

IPIP Tunnel

Explanation: https://www.ampr.org/ipip/

Note: You can also download the above as a ZIP archive: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-gw-3.2.zip

IPSEC

Sometimes you need to secure a link between a system and an MikroTik device.

HamWAN

Website: https://hamwan.org

"HamWAN is a non-profit organization (501c3) developing best practices for high speed amateur radio data networks. HamWAN also runs the Puget Sound Data Ring, which is a real-world network implementation of the proposed designs."

MikroTik devices are used in HamWAN type networks. Once you are connected to HamWAN, you can then setup your AllStarLink/PTTLink devices on the network.

Certified Networks

Mi6WAN

Website: https://w8cmn.net/mi6wan/

"The Mi6WAN network is our Internet Protocol (IP) Based network. Utilizing microwave, fiber and wireless connections we have built a High-Speed Point to Point and Point to Multipoint network using standards based protocols and RF gear. Our links are measured in MBPS not bps like traditional ax.25 based amateur radio based networks. We are currently allocated subnets from the AMPRNet 44/8 of 44.103/19 and 44.103.32/21. These subnets we have allocated down to our different sites for the needs of our network. We primarily transport data in support of our other projects as IP is becoming more and more the standard to transport audio/video/data."

For those located within the Central Michigan area, you can connect to a HamWAN like network and receive an AMPRNet/44Net IP address for use with your AllStarLink/PTTLink nodes.
