+==== FAQ ====
+•	What is the download/upload speed?
+I ran an internet speed test. These are the results:
+Download 36.42 Mbps
+Upload 31.26 Mbps
+Ping 41ms (to Claro Server in Arequipa)
+•	Does it have a fixed or dynamic IP address?
+The IP address of the tower is a dynamic IP address.
+You are not able to use the address to access any service on the tower
+If you want to connect to services on the tower from off-site (just like I did to run the speed test), you have to use a VPN-Connection
+•	Is there a monthly limit on the amount of data that may be transferred?
+The current monthly limit is 1.5 GB. This is not enough to transfer all the necessary data from the tower to our servers
+As far as I know, Eric is working actively to get a higher data volume so we can actually download all the data from the tower
+•	How many ethernet connections are there?
+There are currently 3 ethernet connection
+they are all occupied
+a fourth one could be used when configured (by default it's used for WAN)
+for more devices, I would recommend a small ethernet switch
+•	Is there a laptop or computer on-site?
+Actually, there is a computer on-site (A Raspberry Pi 4)
+We use it to host a database and some other services
+Also, it can be used to gather data from the installed Licor Systems
+•	Is Campbell Scientific "Loggernet" software installed on the computer?
+I don´t think that is compatible with our system
+Also, we just use the CLI, there is no option for a GUI
+•	Does the computer have an available serial port that could be connected to the Campbell  Scientific Data Logger in the CO2 system?
+Yes there should be a serial port available through the Raspberry Pi´s GPIO Pins (3.3V UART)
+•	Does the laptop have remote access software available and working?
+As I already mentioned there is no GUI
+But you can connect to the computer through SSH
