Client Node Configuration

An antenna MUST be connected to the radio at all times when it is powered on, Not having an antenna connected will result in damage to the radio!!!

These instructions are a work in progress and are unlikely to result in a working connection

1. Upgrade your modem to the latest version of RouterOS

TODO: More information about how to to this without and internet connection

2. Reset the modem configuration

/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes

3. Assign a name to your modem so that if can be identified on the network

/system identity set name=VE7OGO

4. Secure your modem by assigning a password to the admin user account

/user set admin password=<password> /console clear-history

5. Add additional user accounts to support monitoring and remote configuration /user add group=full name=va7dig password=<password> add group=read name=monitoring password=<password> /console clear-history

6. Install Keys for Remote Access TODO: Instructions 7. Enabled Recovery Mode (NetInstall)

/system routerboard settings set boot-device=try-ethernet-once-then-nand

8. Remote Logging We do not currently have remote logging

9. SNMP Monitoring

/snmp set enabled=yes contact="#HamWAN on irc.freenode.org" /snmp community set name=hamwan addresses=44.135.216.0/23 read-access=yes write-access=no numbers=0

15. Disable Internal DNS Server

/ip dns set allow-remote-requests=no

16. Configure the modem to use HamWAN Sector Channels

/interface wireless channels add band=5ghz-onlyn comment="Cell sites radiate this at 0 degrees (north)" frequency=5920 list=HamWAN name=Sector1-5 width=5 add band=5ghz-onlyn comment="Cell sites radiate this at 120 degrees (south-east)" frequency=5900 list=HamWAN name=Sector2-5 width=5 add band=5ghz-onlyn comment="Cell sites radiate this at 240 degrees (south-west)" frequency=5880 list=HamWAN name=Sector3-5 width=5 add band=5ghz-onlyn comment="Cell sites radiate this at 0 degrees (north)" frequency=5920 list=HamWAN name=Sector1-10 width=10 add band=5ghz-onlyn comment="Cell sites radiate this at 120 degrees (south-east)" frequency=5900 list=HamWAN name=Sector2-10 width=10 add band=5ghz-onlyn comment="Cell sites radiate this at 240 degrees (south-west)" frequency=5880 list=HamWAN name=Sector3-10 width=10

17. Configure the modem to identify using your callsign

/interface wireless set 0 radio-name="<CALLSIGN>" # For example, set 0 radio-name="AE7SJ/Monroe-Paine"

18. Configure your modems location. This allows it to show on our map /snmp set location=LAT,LON Replace LAT and LON with your coordinates in decimal
