The ASL3 appliance for Raspberry Pi OS can be installed with the Raspberry Pi Imager for ease of installation, which lets you preload Wi-Fi configuration. It also supports managing the Pi's serial port at <code>/dev/serial0</code>, as well as using the GPIO pins for PTT triggering. The Pi image keeps logs and temp files only in memory to reduce writes to the SD card.

	The speed and quality of service required depends on the intended use of your connection.

The application running over the link may be more sensitive, however, including things like streaming, voice, remote desktop, or video.

	For example, a typical VOIP call generally needs only about 64kbps of bandwidth, so high speeds are not usually necessary for voice applications like IRLP, Allstar, or DMR. LTE or Starlink standby mode may be more than sufficient. Voice applications are sometimes sensitive to packet loss, jitter, and latency, however, so an unstable or marginal connection may work fine or it might not.

+The IPIP Mesh connects participating amateur radio networks through tunnels over the Internet. You operate a gateway that exchanges traffic between your 44Net network and other participants’ gateways serving their 44Net networks. These may be single systems, home or club LANs, or larger networks.
