Updating the BBs
try each of the 4 network keys
(we need a script to update the keys)
Musings
there's only 4 different possible network keys
no there have to be 6 network keys. We only have 4 so far
To-do
script to update network keys
script to manually set the IP address of each
maybe better is a script that returns the BB name/function/location and let DHCP do the work
rsync and crontabs
ssh into the machine that needs crontab updated so something like
scp mycron user@remotehost:/tmp/mycron ssh user@remotehost 'crontab /tmp/mycron'
Powerline repeaters
case
ammunition box 4“ x 5”?
Testing a repeater without a SBC
Routing: Desktop machine → router 1 → powerline 1 → [ powerline 2 → router 2 → router 3 → powerline 3 ] → powerline 4 → router 4
brackets [] show what would be in a repeater box
powerline 1 and powerline 2 share encryption key
powerline 3 and powerline 4 share a different encryption key
test: does router 4 have access to the internet or can it see router 1 and vice versa?
