Adding a NODE to the Network


WRKC935

Question

Straight forward instructions here

download the image from elsewhere here on the site

download and install WinSCP on your computer

download the .sh file below

open the .sh file with wordpad on your PC and edit the NODE NUMBER and PASSWORD with the information you got from the site.

rename the file once edited and saved to 'repeaterfinder.sh'

follow the directions for creating your SD card for the Raspberry Pi.  insert the card in the Pi and boot the Pi up.

Login to the Pi with the standard credentials provided in the network book (this is also downloaded from this site)

Once the Pi is booted and connected to the network you PC running WinSCP is on, connect to the Pi with WinSCP via the IP address of the Pi. 

Once you are logged in, you will need to copy the 'repeaterfinder.sh' file to the /home/repeater/ directory.

When you have copied the file to the Pi, you will need to login to the Pi and navigate to the above directory.

Once there type ./repeaterfinder.sh    or   bash ./repeaterfinder.sh

The script will run and configure your Pi as a node with the provided number and password

Once the Pi reboots, login into the Pi again, the password this time will be repeater.

You will need to change this by typing 'passwd'

You will be prompted to type a new password at that point.

 

Remember that you have to make modifications to your router / firewall to allow connection to your node.

This information is in the workbook as well.

 

 

If this is not to be common knowledge please delete this and let me know it's gone.
