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?
