Features SECN

[Darío G. Díaz]

Terry

Another feature that seems very useful for SECN is:

- Having control of MAC Address(MAC Filter), to decide the devices that connect or reject the node (Device X).

- Have an exclusive tab settings WAN(DHCP, Static, PPPoE) and LAN settings other IP of the device.

- Display a list of devices that connect to the node (Device X).

These features or suggestions I sent you, have as a reason to contribute to the development and improvement of SECN. As ideas emerge product of the putting into service of these networks, I will get all the information produced.

Regards

Hi Dario

Thanks for the suggestions.

1. IP assigned by DHCP to the WAN interface - I will look at including this in the RC2 firmware to be displayed in an information field on the WAN page.

2. Static IP address,

Not sure what you mean by this. Could you clarify please?

Which IP address do you mean?

The main static IP address is shown on the Basic and Adv pages in the entry field, and the mesh IP interface IP is shown on the Adv page.

3. QoS

The wshaper package is included in recent SECN builds for devices with 8MB+ flash memory.

     http://lartc.org/wondershaper/

     http://www.techrapid.co.uk/openwrt/traffic-shaping-on-openwrt-with-wshaper-on-luci/

As an alternative, there is also the qos-scripts package which might be useful.

     (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/qos)

Configuration of these packages is by editing the respective config files.

I would be interested in your results if you try these packages.

We could look at including some config in the SECN web UI if they prove useful.

4. HTTPS

Not sure what you mean by this. Could you clarify please.

The SECN web interface will use HTTPS if you enable SSL by ticking the checkbox at the bottom of the Basic page and restart.

Note that the SECN device will use a self generated certificate that will not be known to your browser, so it will give a warning and you will need to review and accept the certificate in order to have access to the web page.

Hi Terry

I'll try this firmaware and then you'll do the comments.
I want to give my opinion about some items that could be included in future versions. Post somewhere on the web configuration items:

1- IP address that is assigned by a DHCP external server to SECN the equipment that we have as a mesh node.

2- main display static IP address that is assigned to the node by which it identifies in the mesh network. This would allow central control of the nodes of the mesh network, where the main router can assign bandwidth to each node.

3- Implement a basic QoS to SECN, to allocate bandwidth to handle mesh node to within your own LAN to supply Internet access to some devices.

4- Allow entry to the web config SECN with https in the browser.

I hope you understand me what I tell it.

Hi Dario

Here is the correct link for the WR841 SECN 3.0 RC1b firmware.

    http://download.villagetelco.org/firmware/secn/unstable/tp-link/SECN-3/SECN-3.0-RC1/SECN-3.0-RC1-WR841/

This is the same firmware version that I sent you earlier for testing. It detects the hardware version of the device and adjusts the networking configuration depending on whether it is Version 9 or later, as we previously discussed.

You should be able to load the Ver 8 and Ver 9 firmware onto your respective WR841 devices and the Ethernet ports should operate correctly.

There are no other changes in this version. I will release RC2 over the next month with some minor changes, prior to releasing it as Stable firmware along with firmware for all the other supported devices.

Regards

Terry

The only changes were for the automatic detection of the version number between Ver 8 and Ver 9 so thatthe Ethernet ports are set up correctly.

I have posted the new firmware for V8 and V9 to the VT Downloads page here:

You have updated some other firmware of TP-Link wr841 v8 or v9?

Hi Terry

I want to consult you if you can implement the characteristic "MAC Filter", which would be useful for each node, so you can control the devices that connect to wireless and ethernet.

Hi Terry

Thanks for information!!
After studying this information you sent me, I'll see how to build a script to make a maclist function as access control devices that connect to the node.
