Backup your device partitions using the AREDN U-Boot Test program. If the test results are "BAD," then you should do the following: If the test results in a "GOOD/GOOD" result, then you may proceed to load the appropriate AREDN firmware onto it. Use this "factory" file when loading from AirOS or TFTPĭownload and run the AREDN U-Boot Test Setup Program. When tunnel services are installed and configured, the AREDN team encourages the use of RPi or other outboard computer for MeshChat.īefore flashing a Ubiquiti device that is running or has been running AirOS version 5.6, please run the AREDN U-Boot Test program below before attempting a firmware load or upgrade. Depending on what it elects to kill, the device may run erratically or reboot. When this occurs, the node will automatically kill one or more processes. However, more and more we are seeing nodes run out of memory (most Ubiquiti devices have 32MB RAM, the Rocket has 64MB), particularly by a combination of tunnel services and MeshChat. And with no need to stand-up an outboard computer, it is a tempting proposition. It has become popular to run an assortment of other programs on a node. Added a disclosure statement in the help file on what gets uploaded with the LAT/LON “push” and how it will be used in publishing the public AREDN map Also added optional LAT/LON “push” to a centralized server which allows users to self-publish their nodes to a public AREDN map Added map-based LAT/LON location assistance for nodes with access to the Internet (directly or via a mesh gateway). Completely rewrote the graphical reporting of SNR to show real-time and 2-day trends for each neighbor Added a user-specified time zone and NTP server on the Setup page Added transmit data throughput values (TxMbps) for Current Neighbors on the Mesh Status screen Added the ability for packages, such as iPerf, to open firewalls ports at the time of installation Increased the upload-timeout for pushing firmware upgrades to remote nodes over marginal paths Testing has proven that data throughput is highly responsive to correctly setting this parameter Its value can now be entered in either Kilometers or Miles. The distance parameter entry is now mandatory during initial node setup. These are desktop devices with an embedded a 5-port Ethernet switch we have preconfigured for WAN, LAN (ports 1-3) and DtD (port 4) Added support for the Ubiquiti AirRouter and AirRouter HP. This improves the maximum data rate capability from 54 Mbps to 130 Mbps and allows AREDN nodes to take advantage of the Ubiquiti MIMO (concurrent data channels in both the vertical and horizontal polarization domains), although proportional data rate increases can also be achieved on non-MIMO devices 802.11n has been added to the RF protocol. The following changes have been made from our previous, v3.15.1.0, production release: Data Rate Increase This release focuses primarily on improving data rates and node manageability.
