Hello

so in the center section on the set up page i selected the mesh gateway in the drop down menu. clicked save and reboot and now i can find the node to log back in and make changes

iv'e Tierd localnode:808, 172.27.0.1 and.2 and.3 ive tried to find the gateway ip but there is none. how do i find the node in the browser to log back into it

Good evening all my name is Ken KA1EZH located in South Eastern Massachusetts. A few local hams here have started a PBX via VOIP dedicated for the use by and for hams. We are promoting it's use as an addition to Incident Command, ARES/RACES emergency communications.  Why I'm posting here is to see if I can spark some interest to create an alternate back up to our system via a Ham Mesh Network? Anyone with insight and interest in this can email me at:  ka1ezh@gmail.com

I installed the hamchat ipk file on each node. What I call my BASE node has the hamchat as an advertised service. All nodes open hamchat, no problem. None of the nodes can exchange chat with each other. What have I missed here? 

Winlink is a software program that allows your radio to act as a email system. If you are unfamiliar with Winlink follow this link for more information. https://www.winlink.org/

Once you get your winlink system up and running on your PC, you can then use it to send e mails over your mesh node system.

First, connect the PC you are going to use for winlink messages to your mesh directly with a network cable. Open a browser and type in http://localnode:8080/ to open up the status page for the node you are attached to. Click the mesh status button and then select the node that the person you want to send message to is attached to.

You are now looking for the WIFI address it will be something like 10.125.92.222/5. You don’t need the /5 but remember the rest of the address. Now you can open up winlink and set it up to work through your mesh.

You will be setting up a Telnet P2P connection. Only Peer to Peer messages will be sent so you must select that option when you make your messages to send on your mesh.

Address the message to the person you desire in the “To” box, their call sign is all that is needed. Finish your message and post it to your out box. All messages will be delivered to that operator when you link up to them.

Once you have a message to send it is time to open a session. Be sure that you have selected Telenet P2P from the dropdown menu next to the open session button. As of this writing it will be the eleventh option in the drop down menu.

When you click on the Open session button a window will open and it is there that you will tell the software who to connect with. Click the add station button, you will be presented with the Add P2P station dialog menu. Put the call sign in the name slot and the IP address if the station you are linking to in the IP address slot. No other entries are required. Click the start button and if the other operator is connected to his node your message should end up in his mail box.

There may be other ways of doing all this, but what I have presented works. Enjoy. Anyone needing more detail please enquire.

I've now been able to enter the command line of Broadband Hamnet 3.1.0...it's based on OpenWRT Kamikaze (version 7). OpenWRT is now at version 17.01.4...It uses standard OLSR as it's routing protocol on WiFi...this is perfect for the needed use application. I don't see any config differences from 17.01.4, though. So this is now a question for the developers of the Broadband Hamnet firmware...there's also the feature of hostnames we place into the Broadband Hamnet device that propagate it over the Mesh...I would like to request the developers to share those scripts and information on their code (i.e. are you on a public online code repository?) under the relevant Open Source Licenses so it could possible receive needed Operating System updates, and be cross compatible with all OpenWRT routers.

Great work! Yes, please share.

I've done further testing. OpenWRT to OpenWRT devices work; but when connecting to a Broadband-Hamnet device, the routes never populate in OpenWRT and vice versa.

I cannot find any setting in Broadband-Hamnet that would make the routes behave differently.

Reset the device.

Just figured out how to do a P2P linkup between two nodes on my mesh. I will post info if there is anyone interested in this.

I have Asterisk running on a Raspberry Pi with no issues. I tried the install on one of the 54GS. And after a boot it now has no WAN LED. It is not visible from anywhere. Luckily I have three more nodes to use. 

I forgot my admin password. What do I need to do?
