Installation Instructions

CD-ROM Images

After downloading the CD-ROM image file, decompress it if it has been compressed, and use "Toaster" (or your favorite CD-recording program) to burn the ISO image onto a Compact Disc. The result will be a bootable CD that will only require you to load the disc into your computer and turn it on. (You may need to configure your computer to boot from the CD drive.) After booting from this CD, a computer will automatically become a wireless network node.

NOTE: The CD-ROM uses the first serial port, 'COM1', as

CompactFlash Images

Download a station image, decompress it, and write it to your CompactFlash card. If your system is Unix-based and you have a CF reader, use dd to write the image to the raw CF disk. Here is an example dd command that writes the station image file to the CF access device:

sh$ dd if=imagefile.img of=/dev/rwdod bs=8k

If you don't have a CF reader, you will need to PXE boot your Soekris/embedded computer and use that process to flash the CF card. This process can be more complicated, so contact the cu-wireless mailing list if you have questions.

Updater

An upgradable node can be upgraded by any computer running an ssh daemon that can connect to the node.

Log into the node and run the script:

sh$ /sbin/upgrade user@host:/path/to/upgrade.tgz
