Should be ok. I will have a look at it later today.
You might need to read up on the OpenWrt site on just how to do the conversion from DD-Wrt to avoid bricking the router.
Just get any version of OpenWrt running then use sysupgrade to put the SECN firmware on.
BATMAN mesh bat0 disabled - please specify interfaces to enable it
but i cant find a place in the web-interface where i can do this. i also can't "see" the AP from my laptop.
Hi Michel
I don't quite understand what the situation is with your router.
Can you clarify which firmware you now have installed please?

When you install the SECN firmware it is important to use the -n flag as follows:
sysupgrade -n -v filename.bin
This is to ensure that the unit comes up with the correct configuration from the firmware and not use prior config parameters.
Once the sysupgrade process has completed loading the firmware and reboots the router, it will take around five minutes before the device is fully functional.
In particular the mesh firmware and bat0 is not activated until the very end of the startup process.
After the startup process has completed, just point your browser to :
10.130.1.20
and you should see the web UI.
You should also be able to connect with telnet.

Hi Michel
There is something wrong with the radio side of things.
Neither AP no adhoc interface is working in these ifconfig and iwconfig outputs.
If this is still a problem, try renaming the wireless config file to .bak and restarting. A new file will be created with just an AP defined, but radio will be disabled.
Please send me the new file so we can see what is going on.
Terry
That file looks good.
The auto generated file use the device specific MAC address, whereas we use the generic phy0.
If you have AP and mesh working, can you get the ifconfig and iwconfig files again please?
That is correct. It is the default OpenWrt config.
Does the router work with the VT file ?
Can you see the AP and will it mesh with another SECN-2 device?

That is correct.
The web interface will only operate correctly on the VT file due to the naming of the sections in the file that define the AP and adhoc interfaces.
Try restoring the VT file and reboot and see if the AP and adhoc interfaces come up correctly.
It might also be worthwhile just reflashing and let it come up cleanly. If you do this, make sure to wait several minutes to let it fully start up, then do ifconfig and iwconfig.
If you don't change any settings you should see the interfaces.
You will also see the AP from a WiFi laptop, but it won't connect unless you attach it to a lan with a dhcp server running, or activate the dhcp server on the adv config page. You need to reboot for the changes to be effective.
Do you have any other SECN-2 devices for it to mesh with?
Thanks
I will have a look and see if we can work out what is happening.

Hi Michel
Thanks for testing. I think it disables the radio completely.
Obviously this is a mode not supported by the 841 device for some reason.
Could you try setting it from the web UI and check that it correctly operates when set to 11g, and fails when set to 11ng please?
Thanks
Terry

Ahh yes there is a little magic going on in the background.
Disable the script
/etc/init.d/config_secn
by renaming it.
Then edit the config file by hand and reboot. Avoid using the web UI, just use the command line to see what is going on in the test.
What we want to check is whether 11ng is a valid option for that device, by taking all the web UI stuff out of the equation.
Thanks
Terry.
Hi Michel
Thanks for all the testing. That seems to be conclusive.
About all we can do immediately is to make the SECN firmware default to 11g for this device, or even remove the 11ng option.
It might be worth doing a search or floating a question on the OpenWrt forum as I am sure someone else will have hit this problem.
Regards
Terry
Terry,
if you're using adhoc, 11NG won work
you should stick to 11G only
----- Original Message ----- From: "T Gillett" <tgil...@gmail.com>
Hi Tayeb
That's an interesting point.
We have had 11ng enabled on other TP devices and it works OK (at least I thought so).
Is there a reference I can look at about that please?
It may be prudent for us to set the default to 11g or all devices.

Hi Salvatore
Happy to do that for you, however I am travelling at present so I won't be able to do it till I get home next week.
Are you already running OpenWrt on the MR3420, or still the TP Link original firmware?
Regards
Terry
Hi,my name is Salvatore Crapanzano. I have a tp-mr3420, can you send me a compiled firmware for this access point? THX--
Il giorno sabato 13 ottobre 2012 23:31:09 UTC+2, tlg ha scritto:Hi All
I have posted SECN 2.0 Alpha 3 firmware images for a range of devices including:
- TP Link 703, 842 and 3020
- Ubiquity AR71x devices bullet-m, rocket-m, pico-m
- AR23x devices ubnt2, ubnt5, pico2 (The generic AR23 image can be used on MP-01 but there will be no ATA support)
This build is based on OpenWrt r33311 and uses the new stable batman-adv 2012.3.0 release which includes the bridge loop avoidance feature in lieu of STP.
Note that this version of batman-adv will not be compatible with SECN-1.x meshes.
The AR23 firmware uses Madwifi while the others use mac80211 wireless drivers.
The build includes support for 3G USB Modems on the TP-Link devices with USB ports.
I have done preliminary testing of the images on the TP-Link 703, 842 and 3020 and MP-01 devices.
I would be interested in any feedback on testing on the various Ubiquity devices.
Please note that this firmware is intended for testing purposes rather than production deployment at this point.
The images are available on the VT Downloads page:
http://villagetelco.org/download/firmware/secn/unstable/secn-2/alpha-3/
To use the modem support, plug in the USB modem, wait for it to be detected then go to the SECN Advanced config page.
At the bottom of the page, you should see that the device has been detected and the name and Vendor/Product codes displayed.
To use the modem:
- Check the Enable 3G USB Modem checkbox
- Enter the Vendor/Product codes in the relevant fields
- Enter the 3G service APN code
- Enter the required 3G service dial string if not the default (*99#)
- Set the required USB serial port for your device
- Enter Username, Password and PIN if required (these may be left blank if not used your device/service)
- Save the settings and reboot.
After the reboot, if all is well, the modem should be active and you will see the device's USB serial ports listed, as well as the Internet IP address if the device has successfully connected.
A mesh node with a USB modem installed will act as an Internet gateway for the mesh, and the mesh gateway settings for Server and Client on all mesh nodes should be set up as normal. If there is no other DHCP server on the mesh, the gateway node (or another node) may have its DHCP server enabled.
I have tested on several 3G USB Modems including Huawei E160, E220 and Sierra Wireless USB308 on both the major Australian 3G networks. I would be interested in any feedback on other devices and networks.

Terry

Hi Gui
Thanks for the suggestion. You are correct that we use the standard OpenWrt build environment with additional files for the VT configuration.
We have been a bit careful to essentially publish firmware that we have been able to test ourselves on hardware that we have access to.
This is for a few reasons. Building for additional devices takes more time, and publishing the images consumes quite a bit of online storage which we have to pay for.
Also there is a always a level of risk in flashing devices, particularly for the first time from factory image. I am cautious about publishing untested images.
On the other hand, I have written a wiki page that shows how to set up a build environment for the TP

SECN-extended-GA01.tgz Extended filesystem for WR703n, MR3020, and MR11U that includes asterisk 1.8.
To install, you'll need to format a USB flash drive as ext3 (e.g. mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1),
label the drive "SECN-extended" so that it gets automounted under
/user (e.g. e2label /dev/sda1 SECN-extended), and then extract the contents of SECN-extended-RC3.tgz to the root of this drive. PLEASE be sure that you run mkfs only on your intended USB drive. A good way to check is to run "cat /proc/partitions" and verify the drive's device node.
