Hi,

I flashed PicoStation2 (beta4) and NanoStation2 (beta3)

this is the values of picostation2 (mac address 00:15:6d:ae:cd:a6)

 Node ID: 52646
 Node Mode: gateway
 Gateway Class: 5000
 Routing Class: 1
 Host Name: ZapBSL
 Server Log IP:
 Visualisation Server: 69.61.11.215
 Node Channel: 11
 Wireless Mode: 11g
 Antenna Mode: auto
 Mesh BSSID: 02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be
 Public AP SSID: zapbsl-public-52646
 Private AP SSID: zapbsl-private-52646
 WiFiDog Server: auth.zapbas-saint-laurent.org
 WiFiDog SSL: yes
 Current DNS: 69.61.11.215

I have 3 questions

 Visualisation Server: 69.61.11.215 (I uploaded and compile Batman - Visualisation Server from Open-Mesh - I can chnage the value on it but how setup my server now ? )
 Mesh BSSID: 02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be (what is this ID, is it created by Batman ?)
 Current DNS: 69.61.11.215 ( I create an account with OpenDNS and I validate the server on it - If I change the ip address for ip address of my server - the wifi didn't work)

Can you help me ?

you can see in the file /etc/config/wireless this :
Code:
# Mesh ad-hoc
config wifi-iface mesh
option device   wifi0
option network  mesh
option mode     ahdemo
option bssid    02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be
option bgscan 0

you use the image posted in download section for picostation?
if you are using it, its working good for you?
I'cant help you in the other questions Sad
Cheers.

 Visualisation Server: 69.61.11.215 (I uploaded and compile Batman - Visualisation Server from Open-Mesh - I can chnage the value on it but how setup my server now ? )

Quoting the README file (http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/trunk/vis/README):

"To start the visualization server issue the following command:
$ vis <iface1> <iface2>

where iface1 is the interface for incoming B.A.T.M.A.N. visualization packets
(e.g. eth1, wlan0 ...) and iface2 is used for the dot draw output. the server
can run on different interfaces but this is not necessary."

Compile the Vis Server and install it in the server. When you start it, you have to specify the interface from where the visualization packets will arrive. Also from where the data from the Vis Server can be read (it can be the same interface).

Mesh BSSID: 02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be (what is this ID, is it created by Batman ?)

It's harcoded (not by B.A.T.M.A.N.) to avoid cell-id splitting problems. Excellent info about this problem: http://wiki.villagetelco.org/index.php/Information_about_cell-id_splitting,_stuck_beacons,_and_failed_IBSS_merges!

I will let this one for who configured the LUGRo-Mesh Server Wink

Ok thanks, I used image posted in download section. 
I'm working on french documentation for our network
I want to give an explication for each item

PicoStation2 and NanoStation2 works fine with our authentification server wifidog

But it's OpenDNS account of Lugro-Mesh it used

And it's Lugro-Mesh Visualisation server that used too

And it's Lugro-Mesh Visualisation server that used too

WE need to setup our visualisation server and OpenDNS account with our authentification server

My server is redirected to OpenDNS but I don't know how to install Visualisation server on our server

That is the problem

My server is redirected to OpenDNS but I don't know how to install Visualisation server on our server

That is the problem

Regarding OpenDNS: In normal situations it would be enough that your server accepts DNS queries from any internet IP and  that has OpenDNS as server with the account you created with the static IP of the server you are using.

Regarding Vis Server: You can compile it on the server or else, but remember binary compatibilities issues Smiley

You need to have the Vis Server and batman sources (the vis sources has symlinks to batman files).

svn co http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/trunk/vis
svn co http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/trunk/batman

Compile the vis sources with a simple 'make'

The binary file created is 'vis', copy it to the server in a directory that is in the PATH.

Run it like this: vis $IFACE

Where $IFACE is the interface that your server has exposed to Internet. On the Vis Server you need to allow incoming traffic on TCP port 2004 and UDP port 4307.

To check the Vis Server you can use 'nc IP_VIS_SERVER 2004' or 'telnet IP_VIS_SERVER 2004'.

The server gives info in the dot format, something like this:

digraph topology
{
"5.41.46.42" -> "5.41.46.45"[label="1.00"]
"5.255.41.42" -> "5.255.42.44"[label="1.00"]
"5.41.46.45" -> "5.41.46.42"[label="1.00"]
"5.41.46.45" -> "0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0"[label="HNA"]
"5.255.42.44" -> "5.255.41.42"[label="1.00"]
"5.255.42.44" -> "0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0"[label="HNA"]
}


But it doesn't show nodes with no neighbours.
