Apologies if this topic is already covered, I couldn't find it.

I'm trying to SSH to my node's domain name. I can ping the name but trying to SSH returns, "Connection Refused."

I generated a key as per the built in instructions and installed into the node on the Admin tab.

I also forwarded port 22 to localnode.

What am I missing?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*EDIT*

I believe the issue is that OpenSSH-Server is not installed. I try to download and install it but I'm running into the 0 blocks of memory available issue that is discussed on another thread. Without being able to SSH into the node, however, I do not know how to apply the work arounds in that thread.

Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

You might have some of the configuration parameters set incorrectly.

Normally you will have to do portforwarding of sip signalling and rtp ports if you run nat. Not necessary when using l3 routing.

when i connect everything and try to get the adapter to register i can't get it to do i have too do some port forwarding and do i forward them to the node or specific address

Outstanding! I'm glad it's all setup and working for you. Happy Meshing!

Good Evening Everyone!

I am working setting up a Mesh network in conjunction with the local ARES/RACES group to like the various served agencies (Hospitals, clinics, EOC, sheriff, etc) and the EC would like redundancy when it comes to the internet connection that would be available through the mesh.  Is it possible to have a couple of mesh nodes with an internet connection available on the same mesh so that if one goes down the rest take up the slack?

Thanks guys!

KF5JIM - Thanks! That works for me. I am in the process of setting up a FTP/Webserver on a Raspberry Pi for one of my nodes. Would like to see in future releases tho where the nodes could act as a true bridge to the mesh not DMZ. But with my limited knowledge of olsr may not be possible.

KJ6OGW - Google Raspberry Pi as ftp server tutorials all over the place. Cheep board only $35. http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Web-Server/step9/Install-an-FTP-server/

Also from my 2000 ARRL FCC Rule Book, page 2-27, Q&A on Music:

Q. My friend and I are music composers. Can we trade compositions in ASCII code across town on 2 meters?

A. The music prohibition concerns the playing of music itself, not information about the music. As long as no musical nodes can be detected on the air, you're okay.

Q. What if we send commands to each others MIDI synthesizers over the air?

A. Again no problem, as long as no actual music is played on the air.

KJ6OGW,
"setting up a Samba or FTP Server on a Linux machine" implies that you already have a Linux server. So setting up a Samba or FTP ON a Linux machine should take no more than 30 minutes (if the user knows what they are doing).

And with that, the problem posted in this thread has already been solved.

David,

You make a great point that ERP is definitely worth taking into consideration with high gain antennas.

If you have any links or reference material to pass along, that would be great -- I'll be reviewing my Handbook and Extra manual as well. Will report in when my node is online! :)
