How the Case Study will work
· This case study is designed to be completed in groups of four.
It is expected that each individual student will be responsible
for the design and build of either WAGGA / ALBURY /
GRIFFITH / VOIP CLOUD / WEB CONF CLOUD / STORAGE
CLOUD

3. · Your group must work together to determine how to create
your full mesh network (IPSec tunnels using hardware routers
or OpenVPN are two options).
· Each team member is also responsible for providing a
configuration guide for the shared part of their local network to
other team members and for assisting with getting these remote
sites connected / tested
· Marks will be allocated, as per the rubric for each assessment
item on an individual basis.
· Students are encouraged to work closely together to develop a
cohesive submission for each assessment item, but will still be
required to submit individually.
· Students will nominate tasks (i.e. Albury, Wagga, Griffith,
Cloud) in order of preference and will be put into groups. We
will endeavour to give you your first choice and you will have
the option to decline participation if you are not given your first
choice (assuming you have a suitable alternative project).
Students will also nominate preferred network technology
(OpenVPN / Cisco Hardware (BYO) )
In the case of groups with 3 students one site
(WAGGA/ALBURY/GRIFFITH/CLOUD) will be considered out
of scope.
If a team member withdraws from the subject their site is
considered out of scope and will not impact your grade.
If all members of your team other than you withdraw from the
subject you will be placed into another group using the same
networking technology.
If a member of your team fails to get their local network
services working or you cannot connect to them but you can
connect to at least one other team member this will not impact
your grade.

valuable diagnostics.
· Examine all vehicle health parameters using an easy to read
table.
· View trends with vehicle health and performance graphed over
time.Vehicle to Vehicle Data Exchange
Wirelessly transfer guidance lines, coverage maps, tank levels,
and yield data between multiple vehicles. Operators in the same
field are able to share information in real-time to minimize
overlap and crop inputs, while reducing their carbon footprint.
· Verify others in the same field are operating equipment
properly.
· Share guidance lines, acres covered, speed, and coverage maps
between multiple planters in the same field.
· View instant yield and moisture data between multiple

9. harvesters in the same field.
Soil Information
By using leading soil mapping technology, which utilises
advanced sensors and intelligent targeting and geo-processing
algorithms to produce high resolution, accurate soil and
topographic information.
· Assess detailed soil properties for each field such as soil
texture, compaction, root zone depth, moisture retention and
availability, and soil fertility.
· View soil analysis for the top 48 inches.
· Target precise sampling locations based on soil variability,
sometimes reducing the number of samples required.
