Re: [Server-devel] Mesh Portal Question

2008-02-13 Thread James Cameron
G'day,

I have reproduced this test in a silent radio environment, using three
XOs on build 656, in simple mesh mode, and I see no problem.  I was able
to ping fine from one end of the chain to the other.  The software and
firmware function okay in that configuration.

Let's look into your radio environment further, using the tools on the
laptops.

 XS -- XO1- XO2

In my test I was able to type at XO1:

# watch -d iwpriv msh0 fwt_list 1;iwpriv msh fwt_list 2

... and monitor the signal strength of each link.  As the units moved,
the signal to noise figure changed accordingly.

I was also able to type the same at XO2 and see that it had an entry for
XS via XO1, and that it did not list XS as a neighbour once the units
were spread out.

What do you see?  You will need to identify the MAC addresses of each
node and find them in the forwarding table.

Perhaps I should configure a real XS.  Anyone got any quick
instructions?  I've a couple of active antenna I can use.

Kept this test running overnight, total of 6% loss over 33600 packets,
each link with an snr of 50 to 60.  The end node reported libertas: tx
watch dog timeout ... so I'm not confident the test reproduced
anything.

Thanks James,

I will perform my test again today, I hope what you told helps. My
main test theme is the just be able to reach the school server from
the hops of other XOs.

I will later tell the over all progress and steps I took to perform the test.

Hello All,

first let me define the scenario of my test,

The distance between XO1 and my active antenna is 350 meters and the
distance between XO2 and XO1 is almost 700 meters

XO1 and XO2 can talk with each other very fine by simple mesh portal,
i.e. i used chat activity between them
XO1 gets connected with the school server without any hassle (
automatic ). Now what i am trying to get is to ping School server from
XO2. I havent yet done any configuration or assigned any IPs, what i
am testing is that of autoconfigurations

XS -- XO1- XO2

now how to access XS from XO2 using Hop of XO1

Regards

  Still, in your case, you should only blind XO2 to XO1, and dont
  forget to invert the blinding table.
