synopsis
Create a low cost communication node (with VoIP as a base), trying to connect as many as possible types of links, for example:
- copper/fibre/WiFi network
- DECT/POTS/GSM telephony
- SIP/SCCP
- HAM radio (or preferrably, CB radio: 27MC/PMR)
- copper/WiFi/USB uplink
It also could need some of the following functionality:
- PoE service (to drive phones, remote switches/accesspoints)
- battery supported/powered (in case of power failures/lack of power)
- Efficient power converter(s) when running on battery
- sturdy compact waterproof casing
Guerilla VoIP in active use (as a temporary set up of the space phone)
After my setup was running, I came across a real world example: a defense set-up. I found the similarities hillarious.
implementation
The current version has:
- ammo box
- 7Ah SLA battery
- banana/screw terminal
- weatherproof ethernet outlet
- 12-volt cigarette lighter receptacle
- 3D printed insert
- fuse box
- switches for device targeting power and power state preview
- Netgear GS110TP (8xPoE + 2xSFP)
- a couple Telephone system:Cisco PoE hack cable
todo
- upload models and schematics
- 3D print inlay for Switch/PI holder
- install fuses and crowbar circuit
- install state leds
- install step-down converter 12->5V
- install step-up converter 12v->48V
- Raspberry PI or Orange PI
- NL dialplan (FS/Cisco)

solar panel and battery
Did some rough estimations with a 15 Watt solar panel (using a Unified Clear-Sky Solar Prediction Model script): on a good summer day it will yield 240W in 17 hours (slightly below 15 megajoule), and on a clear winter day it will yield 25W in 7 hours (630 kilojoule).
A 12v SLA battery is full with >12.85V, empty with 12.00V (at 25% capacity) and fully depleted at 11.80V. I came to the conclusion that the effective energy is about 9.5×Ah; given a 7Ah battery, this will yield about 66.5Wh.
Given the hardware setups described in the previous paragraph (note that these values are theoretical maximums):
| scenario | battery run time | solar+battery run time (winter/summer) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 5:30h | 7:35h/25:30h |
| B | 5:00h | 6:55h/23:00h |
| C | 4:00h | 5:35h/18:45h |
Cisco CP7940 running on a drill battery pack, shows 0.36A at approximately 12V

interesting facts
- Fritz!box has a switching regulator to 5V tested between 5.5V and 15V (drops off at 5.3V idle and elco at power supply segment is rated 16V)
- PoE hack adapter connected pin 1 (white-orange) and pin 3 (white-green) with 22K resistor.
- if the pre-standard CP-79x0 is connected using the PoE adapter hack, the Netgear GS110TP doesn't power, when you unplug it, it will enable power within 5 seconds; plug in, and the phone boots.
- if you configure the administrative VLAN, the phone will fetch a DHCP lease on that VLAN, allowing you to seperately set up dnsmasq on a Raspberry Pi

log and ideas
A list of ideas to consider:
- modular 3D insert for different single board computers
- extra network outlet (since a single one is more or less useless)
- float or CC/CV charger, MPPT solar charger
- external antenna mount
- temperature monitor
Here is a log/some steps to reproduce:
get the basics
apt-get install vlan dnsmasq make curl
create and install FreeSWITCH
see https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Debian#Debian-BuildingFromSource
cd /usr/src curl https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/build/Makefile.centos6?raw > Makefile
If you want to compile and install STABLE branch, edit the above Makefile and add " -b v1.4 " just after the word "clone".
make && make install
- (you can kill time by doing the other chapters)
create user 'freeswitch', add it to group 'daemon' and change owner and group of the freeswitch installation
cd /usr/local adduser --disabled-password --quiet --system --home /usr/local/freeswitch --gecos "FreeSWITCH Voice Platform" --ingroup daemon freeswitch chown -R freeswitch:daemon /usr/local/freeswitch/ chmod -R ug=rwX,o= /usr/local/freeswitch/ chmod -R u=rwx,g=rx /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/*

Create the /srv/tftp directory and put the configs and firmwares in it. Here is a config generator you can put in there (sorry, can't provide the firmwares since "I don't have them").

preconfigure phone
- Connect the phone directly using a (optionally crosslink) ethernet cable.
- Power the phone, and hold # until the red (mute) light is off and the phone states: "Reset sequence detected"
- type 123456789*0#, and when asked to keep network config, choose 2=no
- once the new firmware is loaded (Freeswitch is not running, so it won't connect), press 'settings' (checkbox button at the bottom right)
- go to Admin. VLAN ID
- type **# to unlock the setting, and press 'edit'
- type in your voice VLAN (11 like the configs say)
- press validate, and save
- dnsmasq and interfaces configs can now be restored (no dhcp on eth0, only eth0.11)
- nohup sh -c "invoke-rc.d networking stop; sleep 2; invoke-rc.d networking start"
todo
- work out 'modus operandi': multiple config files switchable by phone
- work on dual linux config with GPIO hardware switch
- test the fibre ports
- add homeplug as a proof of concept
- design and create (or buy) small-sized float charger (13.8V 2A) with overcurrent protection, if needed
