  • try each of the 4 network keys
  • (we need a script to update the keys)
  • there's only 4 different possible network keys
    • no there have to be 6 network keys. We only have 4 so far
  • 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'

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?
