Thanks for the link...  I did the TFTP procedure and it worked!  I upgraded the unit and now it works like a charm...

I appreciate the help!

In olsr-topology-view (OTV) the ImageMagick program is only required to display the finish graphic on the screen. If you are running OTV on MacOS you can avoid installing ImageMagick and use the Preview application to display the images instead.

Just replace the existing code around line 149 with the following:

if ($SHOW) {	
	if ($^O == "darwin") {	
		system "/usr/bin/open -a preview $TOPPATH/$NAME.$EXT &";
	} else {
		if ($ROOTWIN) {
			system "display -window root -backdrop $TOPPATH/$NAME.$EXT &";
		} elsif ($start) {
			system "display $FULLOPT -update 5 $TOPPATH/$NAME.$EXT &";
			$start = 0;
		}
	}
}

I flashed and setup a node for a friend of mine using the v2 software.  When I went over to install it on the tower and get everything online, he couldn't remember the password he gave me...

I needed to upgrade the software to match everything around him which is now on Ver3!

I found the instructions for the LinkSys router and got that password fixed - but now I have his Bullet that I can't do anything with...

No password, no config or upgrade...  HELP!?!  :)

Anyone got any good ideas?  I have tried the instructions that worked on the LinkSys, and couldn't get the v2 software to reset.  I am stumped at this point...

Trying real hard to get all the local guys interested in this in Brenham, TX.!

Thanks!

I am a total noob here, so forgive me if my questions don't make sense or are just plain easy.  I noticed the newly supported Ubiquiti devices from the 11/20/2014 "newsflash."  

1-Can somebody please explain the advantage of the various supported models of Ubiquiti devices along with the M2, M5, and M9 designation? 

2-Do some have better range capabilities than others?

3-If I had a M5 device, will it communicate with the mesh network nodes that are M9's or M2's?

4-Can technician licensed individuals operate M2, M5, and M9's?  They seem to operate on different frequencies.

The Revision Log (under BloodHound>Source>repo name>Revision Log is always the best source of changes it includes the code information and commit logs.

The short version however for this one is basically bugfixes

Fix/Change log (areas that need most testing)

* DHCP lease dropdown lists too many addresses.
* Update url for admin page downloads and opkg/ipkg.
* DTDLink dns name not set correctly on Linksys
* Correct ipkg.conf root directory path on Linksys.
* Fix issue on Linksys with IPV6/AAAA dns records and downloads.

There is something to be said as well for not needing POE Injectors. It can make the setup a little more presentable at the rack.

Of course I still recommend a lighting arestor at the building entrance (which is where I inject power on my current mountain top node)

I've seen the forums be slow over the past few weeks (12 minutes to pull up the latest post page on one occasion that went for a couple days) and then topics started disappearing and somewhere in there the forum jumped to newest post on top (which makes following threads a bit more difficult IMHO) and then the other day site was completely down for about 30 minutes as well.

So I would say it's safe to suspect something is wrong with the site/forums.

I have been perusing the old Forum messages trying to learn more. I have noticed that some messages will not pull up. Yet the message on either side (previous or next) will display just fine. Is there a problem with the Forum database? Just curious.

If all you want is Firefox to react to clicking on the link, read about registering a protocol in Firefox (Like SIP or RTSP)

Right, the EdgeRouter is much more expensive. But, then it is a full-fledged router, with PoE. It wouldn't make any sense to use just to get at the bbhn wan/vlan. But, if you are using it as a gateway router for other reasons it saves adding a piece of gear to the network.

I have been quite happy with mine. One caveat: there is a GUI for basic setup and most simple scenarios, lie adding the plan. But, once you get past that, it is strictly cli.
