DOCUMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
Overview
Preliminaries
Software
OpenWRT 15.05 Chaos Calmer is installed with defaults. Target device as 8Mb Flash Memory Minimum.
Hardware
Note concerning the WR703N router. This must be modified with upgraded flash memory. The default unit does not have sufficient memory.
This will work on EmonWRT3 and ModWRT devices.
Setup a Node
This is for setting up a simple node that has no access to the outside but can connect to other nodes. Most unit in the network will have this configuration.
We will use here
- Wired - Static IP 192.168.2.1 (for configuration access only)
- Wifi - Ad-hoc wifi with Static IP 10.10.10.xx (for comms with other nodes).
