In order to run your node as either a *Tunnel Server* or *Tunnel Client*, you will need to configure additional settings and equipment.
Managed Switch Settings (both Client and Server networks)
Set your VLAN-capable network switch to appropriately tag traffic from the Internet with "VLAN 1" before sending it to your node. This allows your node to properly identify the traffic as coming from the Internet connection on its WAN interface. See the equipment manual for your managed switch to determine how to configure these settings. There are also AREDN |trade| `website posts <https://www.arednmesh.org/content/configuring-netgear-gs105e-switch-lanwan-ports>`_ which contain helpful information.

.. note:: If you are using a *Mikrotik hAP ac lite* or *GL.iNET AR150/AR300M/AR750*, then you do not need a separate VLAN-capable switch as described above. These nodes have built-in switches with the appropriate VLANs preconfigured in the AREDN |trade| firmware.

*Radio Mobile* is a valuable timesaving tool for network planning and modeling. The results obtained depend upon the accuracy of the settings used to generate the model. The following Radio Mobile settings have proven useful.

Using WinLink to Send Email
---------------------------
Although it is not typically used as a TCP/IP network application, many operators are already familiar with `WinLink 2000 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winlink>`_ for sending message traffic between WinLink computers across amateur radio frequencies. It is possible to configure *RMS Express* and Telnet Post Office or Telnet P2P for sending email with attachments across a mesh network. You will need a stable Microsoft Windows computer with plenty of memory to run this system (8GB recommended). Refer to the information link below for details about the specific network port settings that will be required. The maximum attachment size is currently 5MB per message as compared to the 100KB limitation on HF and Packet RMS stations. For additional information, please visit the AREDN |trade| forum category on Winlink located here: `Winlink Forum <https://www.arednmesh.org/forums/winlink>`_

IP cameras with an Ethernet port are preferred in order to simplify network connectivity and ensure adequate data transfer speeds. Configure the camera to obtain a mesh IP address from the node, and reserve the address for that camera in the node's DHCP settings so you have a consistent way to connect to it. A camera with :abbr:`PoE (Power over Ethernet)` support is also very useful as this simplifies site cabling.
Some cameras are easier than others to configure and deploy, so be sure to research them carefully before investing in expensive camera hardware. There is a *Cameras* forum topic on the AREDN |trade| website where you can post your questions and experiences: `arednmesh.org camera forum <https://www.arednmesh.org/forums/cameras>`_.
