4. MOTIVATION
My fiancé and I are getting married in October. Through the course of this semester, I hoped to design and implement a home network that could be used in our new home. I wanted this project to have real-world applications that would be useful in our home. It was important for me to use the knowledge and skills I had to learn something new or do something I have never done.
Show and Tell
Highlight need with interesting facts
Broadly speaking why is this issue important?
No more than 5-7 phrases on each slide
Multiple slides may be used for motivating different aspects of the problem that is being solved through this technology or device

5. INTRODUCTION Background: Research: Computer Electronics & Networking
Distribution comparisons
System requirements
PC Hardware compatibilities
Raspberry Pi
Setup procedures for software
Background about issue
Any technical research you performed related to the topic (multiple slides may be used)
Perspectives of different sources about problem or issue
List essential theory needed for solving the problem or sub-problems

6. introduction Examples of Bias in sources: Essential theory:
Hak5 prefers Smoothwall
Lifehacker : Raspbmc :: Engadget : OpenELEC
Essential theory:
PC construction/troubleshooting
OS installation
Networking, subnets

7. PROBLEM STATEMENT Problem: Specifications:
The need for a secure, reliable home network
Specifications:
Filter incoming ISP WAN data through an open-source firewall/router into a LAN environment
Specific problem being addressed – its scope
If sub-problems need to be solved list these (multiple slides may be used)

8. Problem statement Specifications continued:
Web filtering – content, URL
Access restrictions
DHCP for the LAN
Report generating capabilities
Secure wireless networking
Centralized network storage for media and backups

9. Problem statement Specifications continued:
Inexpensive, networked media center
Media center should stream from NAS
Control media center with iOS devices

10. Assumptions Home owner wants a media center and central storage
Home has an ISP
Two PCs needed:
User has access to an unused PC (OR)
User can part and assemble a PC (or both)
User owns a Raspberry Pi
List the operating conditions or system constraints under which the problem is being solved
Any implicit or explicit assumptions about the product, the process, the ultimate users, the test conditions, intended vs. actual use

11. Assumptions
Smart device(s) on hand for remotely controlling XBMC – iOS, Android
App store, Google store account
The user is capable of compensating for lack of knowledge by using the resources available at their disposal

12. PROPOSED SOLUTION
List steps taken to solve the problem such as but not limited to:
Brainstorming (gist of ideas tried)
Proposed solution with justification
Arranging for software/hardware
Assembly
Testing and troubleshooting
Verifying results
This might continue on multiple slides

13. Proposed solution SMOOTHWALL EXPRESS 3.0 Open-source firewall/router
Compared to: Monowall, Untangle, pfSense
Operates on low-end hardware
Intel Pentium 200/compatible
128 MB RAM
2GB Storage
Multiple NICs

14. Proposed solution Hardware: Dell 4600 Series Released May 2003
Pentium 2.8GHz
512MB RAM
80GB Storage
(added) TP-Link Gigabit PCI NIC

15. Proposed solution Some Default features: Traffic Monitoring
IM, POP3, SIP proxies
QoS
VPN
Ping, WhoIs
Shell
Interface settings
DHCP

16. Proposed solution Installed Features: Advanced Proxy URL Filter
Cache
Data Throttling
Timed Access
URL Filter
Block by content
Block by address – white & black lists
Calamaris
Report tool

17. Proposed solution FreeNAS
“The Most Potent & Rock Solid Open-Source NAS Software”
UFS vs. ZFS filesystems
Sharing Protocols:
CIFS/SMB – Windows, OSX, Unix-like
NFS – Unix-like, third party Windows clients
AFP – OSX, clients for Unix-like, some Windows

18. Proposed solution Hardware: Custom MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard
AM3+ Socket, 32GB RAM Support (4x240-pin), 6 x SATA 6Gb/s, onboard Gigabit Realtek NIC
AMD FX 4170 CPU
Quad-core 4.2GHz
Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB RAM
Dual 1333MHz

19. Proposed solution Hardware: Custom Western Digital 1TB
CAPSTONE 650 Watt PSU
Lite-On DVD Burner
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU Heatsink and Fan
Zalman Steel Case

20. Proposed solution Setup: Home > Taylor Folders: ZFS CIFS/SMB Backup
Media
Music
Movies
Photos

21. Proposed solution RASPBERRY PI MEDIA CENTER
Hardware: Model B rev 2 ($35)
700MHz
512MB RAM
SD Card slot
HDMI
2 USB ports
RJ45 jack

22. Proposed solution
What you’ll need:

23. Proposed solution XBMC Open-source media center solution
Distributions: xbian, Raspbmc, OpenELEC
OpenELEC boots faster & has snappier menu navigations on the Pi than Raspbmc

24. Proposed solution WIRELESS: 802.11a/b/g/n 300Mbs
WPA2 PSK with AES encryption
Can be used as an AP, repeater, or bridge
Connects to Gigabit Switch (GREEN side of network)

25. RESULTS
The home now has a fully-functional network with a perimeter router/firewall, central storage for backup and media safekeeping, a cheap media streaming solution, and secure wireless networking
(For images and demonstration, see video)
List key results
Include lots of relevant images and multimedia only (maybe 1 or 2 goofy images in the presentation are OK)
Show simulation plots or clip if available
Show calculated results if available

26. Results

27. CONCLUSIONS In the workplace: Smoothwall: FreeNAS: Raspberry Pi:
Traffic Monitoring, blocking, QoS
IP reservations
FreeNAS:
Free central storage, integrates with AD
User access permissions, network segmentation
Raspberry Pi:
Seek open-source solutions to problems
Comment on significance of results – their applicability in the workplace
Comment on your individual learning about the capstone project planning, design, implementation, and testing process.

28. FUTURE WORK Possible Project Extensions:
Provide for solely gigabit NICs & connections
Upgrade from Smoothwall
Upgrade switches to Cisco
Add more storage to NAS and segment the permissions more
Have another slice of Raspberry Pi

Discuss implications of work – positive and negative
Possible extensions to project
Invite audience for suggestions
Thank the audience
Provide your permanent contact
Include appropriate image or clip art
Plan for 3-5 audience questions ahead of time

29. conclusions What I’ve learned:
Successfully building a PC from custom parts
Perimeter router/firewall installation and configuration
Raspberry Pi basics, XBMC, home media servers
How to use NAS
Time management
Project planning
