Raspberry Pi & HSMM Mesh
All good points. I do not have any nodes up..but now have several wrtg54gs version 3 routers coming my way.
Ubiquiti is less known to me, and the Linksys is now discontinued... so seeing a Pi pop up sounded interesting.
Perhaps we should add to the profiles here a list of what hardware who has actually run... a pie chart of success makes newcomers easily gravitate to what works well.
The other thing that got my interest: a pi running with 512 meg of Ram, a display, keyboard and mouse on a USB hub could also run as a local platform for things like a wordpress sight and a BBS. So for one box to deploy into a go box, it seems attractive, though I have not tried all this yet.
Truely playing around with all of this will help with options. Seems if one was not going to use the pi, a chromebook might be a handy thing to consume the network that just got set up. |

Got it fixed. The I had left the Ethernet cable plugged into the "internet" plug. The directions seemed to forget to tell you that you need to move it to the "port" plugs to access the node after you set it up.
Thanks

http://ubnt.hsmm-mesh.org/products/BBHN/wiki/HowTo/NodeSetup Should help. The part starting with "Go to network connections" but the guid as a whole should help you see the setup portion. |

Please describe what you mean by disabling and re-enabling the interface. I am pretty computer savvy but not sure what you are talking about. |

The page you are seeing is the confirmation screen.
It sounds like your computer has not received a new IP address from the node. Try disabling and re-enabling the interface.
You should have a 10.something IP address on your computer if you didn't make any other changes. |

Problem with WRT54G V4 setup
Very new to MESH. Just got the above router. Was following N7RXE
youtube video and your instruction PDF when setting up the node. Everything
was going great. Uploaded the firmware. Installed the firmware. Got
into the Node Setup section. Changed the name of the node to W8RID-One
and entered the passwords. Hit Save Changes. Here is where thing went south. I never got what I thought was a confirming screen that the changes were made. A Screen came up with a bunch of stuff on it and these were the things I wrote down: http://localnode.local.mesh:8080 or http://W8RID-One.local.mesh:8080 At this point I was not sure what to do so I selected the http://localnode.local.mesh:8080 Could not access the address errors. Tried the other one with same results. Even typed in the IP address per the video: 172.27.0.1 Same errors. I can see the node on my laptop. The SSID="Broadbandhamnet-1" I did not change this in the setup area. Last resort I reset the router/node. Tried all the above again with the same results. What have I done wrong and can it be fixed?? If it can how do I do that?? I have been doing this all via Ethernet cable.

For a mobile node for ARES I would recomend looking at the Ubiquiti gear.
Pi's are great devices but USB based wifi cards are often limited in capability (power and options for installation)
USB distance is max of 30m with repeaters every 5 meters.
Take an ethernet cable on the other hand and without any repeaters you can go 100m distance from the wifi point (think about getting to RF outside the building, etc)
You could use the pi and run a network cable like Ubiquiti
Them we get into weather and voltage issues
A Pi If installed outside would need weatherproofing. In addition a pi needs 5v of power at 500ma you would need a power supply with the node and a method to bring power.
A Ubiquiti could actually be fed from your main setup area along the ethernet cable. Has a wide voltage range (12v battery direct is fine)
Not to say not to experiment with Pi, just saying keep an eye on the other variables when thinking deployment and portable nodes. |

Please do post results. It seems like this setup could be very useful.... especially as a mobile type node.
It seems like putting kits together for ARES teams to deploy could be very useful. |

How we used HSMM-MESH™
Topic :
Looking anyone in SE Michigan / NW Ohio / Windsor for testing
Sorry about not replying sooner but been busy with school and work.
I operate at 10Ghz with only 250mw on voice and can get from Sterling State Park to Cleveland even on a bad day :) Granted, I use an old discarded DirecTV dish with a decent homemade feed. But each band and mode is different in how it works for distance. At 2m, I can get down to the Southwest area of Pennsylvania with 50watts and a 4 element beam from the same location and just make it most days. At 2.4Ghz Wifi, we would have to work with a wide bandwidth signal, so the rf energy is spread out more than it would be for a voice or cw signal. We could be able to work 200 miles one day and the next hour not be able to get across the parking lot. Example(s): 6m and 10m
I think its worth testing out at least to see what could be done. I look at it this way, you won't know til you at least try. Theory is one thing, reality is totally different :) |

VOIP Video Phone
Good day all! Was wondering if it is possible to use these over a mesh network? Make: ACN IRIS Video phone Model: WG4K They have a WAN port, LAN port and a phone port and i can access settings for networking on both phones!
I picked these up at the local Goodwill and thought it would be a cool addition to the mesh network here. I am new to all of this but have seen allot of smart people here and figured someone could guide me if this is even possible. Thanks in advance! KF7YOU

Support for these is also in the upcoming release which is going to beta test this week. We haven't set a release date yet but I'd say weeks, not months.

Playtones() function
In the extensions.conf file, Playtones() can be used to generate tones of a specified duration. I have a couple of questions regarding this function: 1. What is the audio level of tones generated with Playtones()? 2. Is this level fixed or can it be specified? I've just finished writing a 3-tone slope extension and was wondering if the tone levels are accurate enough to be used for equalization purposes when they hit the analog domain. 73, Mark, N2MH
