Remi Thanks,

I do have the ubitiquiti adaptors to handle the situation. I have both the indoor and outdoor units. It makes things a bit easier when working in the field.

Happy MESHING in 2015

I have two nodes connected back to back over a VLAN. Trying to connect a third node to the stream fails.

configuration:

NS5 and NS2 connected via VLAN. NS2 has RPi running BlackIce.  The RPi is connected to a scanner via a USB sound card.

PiS2 connected only via the MESH. The stream will not play hear.

If I want any node (there are 8 in the test) to connect and output the stream, is there a port forwarding configuration needed?

Glad to see STL added to the list. I look forward in assisting on setting up our own network.

VOIP service providers package and sell discounted Analog telephone Adapters (ATA). They recoup the actual cost of the device in the monthly service cost. For example Frys was selling a basic talk device for $5. The OEM of this device is grandstream and you can buy it for around ~$35 with original firmware.

However, these branded devices have firmware locked to the provider (meaning the "SIP" protocol is configured to use their servers over the internet). To use these devices on the bbhn mesh network requires that you hack or unlock the firmware (and then configure it to use your mesh SIP server--Astrisk--or direct IP# dial).

The "basic talk" device can only be hacked if you have never connected it to the internet. The default password is known to make setting changes, but is changed immediately after the device is put on the internet--then it's a brick only usable with that service provider.

I recommend only buying a VOIP device that is sold explicitly with an ability to configure your own SIP server or configurable to use any service provider.

 Success!!  I was able to download NGIRCD.  I will call it a day.

Thanks Darryl and Conrad for your patience!

Thanks again Darryl. I'm looking for the wrt54g, not brcm, I believe.

Uggg, ignore this.....I used another browser.

Thanks again Darryl. I'm looking for the wrt54g, not brcm, I believe.

My bad, it's actually brim as you said.   When I click to download, it shows garbage.

Do I need to ftp this file?

Downloads are under Downloads > (Linksys or Ubiquiti) > Experimental Builds. Though yes the link Darryl gave will work as well. The pages contain all the files with information rather than linking to a single direct file (not recommended as latest builds often change)

Thanks Darryl and Conrad for your support and encouragement.

Interestingly enough I found the install instructions you mentioned Conrad after I had recovered from whatever the problem was.  I had seen them earlier, but didn't save the link.  And I noticed my screens were just a little different from those shown.  Must be version differences in AirOS from when the instructions were written until now.  I think I am going to go through the entire process and document my experience from having to reload the Ubiquiti OS, all the way to getting the mesh up and running.

And I do understand the 'delay' on producing up to date documentation, I used to be the world's worst on documenting the things I used to do in my IT days.

Meshing along just fine, although this wasn't my first involvement.  Just my first Ubiquiti unit.

Larry, Did you hack-flash this "basic talk" device (I'm assuming it's a grandstream HT701 device originally branded with basic talk firmware)? Can you provide a little more detail on what "node doesn't recognize" means? In the setup screen under port forwarding, it does not show a "current DHCP lease" for this device?

There have been a couple of times where I've not seen a lease when there should have been. This worked for me as a work around (and debug step)--maybe a long shot, but try to access the device by the IP address, "http://10.x.x.x" . Look at basic setup screen for the LAN IP address (and try the next 5 consecutive IP #s). If you plug other devices into the LAN ports on the Linksys, do they receive a lease and work correctly?

For nodes powered by solar, the charge controllers have low voltage disconnects. (Well, you might spend just enough to have this feature in a charge controller.) In my case, I'm using a ProStar. The load low voltage disconnect is at 11.4v (~15% remaining battery capacity) and the reconnect is at 12.6v (meaning sufficient sunlight to power load and charge the battery).

SARTRACK is Search and Rescue software for mapping and logistics.

I am just starting to try to run it over MESH.  Has anyone implemented SARTRACK on a MESH network?
