Getting into the Configuration
Either
- Go to a location where it occurs naturally.
- No School server.
- Force the laptops into it manually.
- Go to the mesh view, and connect to an AP.
- Go to the root menu in one of the terminals
- Create/Edit file /etc/NetworkManager/mesh-start on all laptops (tests should be done with at least 2 XO's and preferably 3)
- w/ text:
- infra
- Reboot the laptop.
- The laptops will try to connect to the latest AP they were connected to each time they boot.
Checking that laptops are in the local Configuration
- The file /etc/resolve.conf should have the text:
search AP_Name nameserver IP address nameserver IP address
- The laptop should have a good IP address: other checks
- Type ifconfig in a terminal.
- Second line of eth0 has the address.
- If it starts with 18, or 172 it is good. (169 is bad)
- The second line of msh0 should have a bad IP address.
- Alternatively: the laptop should be able to browse the internet.
- The laptop should only see other XO's, which are nearby, in the mesh view.
- in the future: should only see nearby laptops also connected to the same AP, and not those connected to another AP, local mesh, or School server.
