Objective Connect with a school server and confirm in terminal; connect to WPA, WPA2, WEP
Tools 2+ XO units, school server access
Setup If you have done a cleaninstall, then you will not automatically connect to a school server.

If you have done an 'olpc-upgrade'; and you had been connected to the school server, then you should automatically connect to the school server when it boots up.

Procedure Actions
  1. The laptop should boot up and connect to either simple mesh 1, or the last AP you were connected to before update
  2. Wait for the circle to stop blinking (in older builds the outer circle goes white to show successful connection, later builds show parentheses to indicate connection) and hover your cursor to ensure connection
  3. If you did not automatically connect to the school server, go to the neighborhood view and click on the appropriate AP icon.
  4. If you needed to connect to the school server, then go to the home screen and register with the school server.
    • To check your connection, go to terminal one (ctrl alt mesh)
    • At the login, type "root", and then type olpc-netstatus (for newer build, type "olpc" instead of "root")
    • Note whether the result of Telepathy/Jabber is salut or gabble
  5. Go to the mesh view (ctrl alt home and then mesh)
  6. Note the XO's you see -are they laptops around you, or ones most likely beyond the reach of the laptops wi-fi?
  7. Do the same with a second or third laptop to ensure that it's in the same configuration

Expected Results
and Pass Criteria 		Verify
  • The laptop connects to the school server by default after reboot
  • (alternatively) The laptop connects to the school server if you click on its portal point in the mesh view
  • The result of running olpc-netstatus is:
    • IP msh0 :
      • 172.x.x.x(172.18.x.x when connected to the School server in OLPC offices)
      • 192.168.x.x
      • 10.x.x.x
    • Config : School server
    • Telepathy/Jabber :
      • salut (means failure to connect to a jabber server
      • gabble (then the result of Jabber is : {name of jabber server you're connected to}
  • If you're running salut, you only see laptops that are around you and also connected to the same server
  • If you're running gabble, you see laptops connected to the same jabber server
  • NOTE: laptops running gabble cannot see laptops running salut and vise-versa
  • WPA, WPA2, and WEP should all connect and provide access to the internet.
