Config Mode
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
When in Config Mode a node will neither participate in the mesh nor connect
|
|
to the VPN using the WAN port. Instead, it'll offer a web interface on the
|
|
LAN port to aid configuration of the node.
|
|
|
|
Whether a node is in Config Mode can be determined by a characteristic
|
|
blinking sequence of the SYS LED:

Activating Config Mode
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Config Mode is automatically entered at the first boot. You can re-enter
|
|
Config Mode by pressing and holding the RESET/WPS/DECT button for about three
|
|
seconds. The device should reboot (all LEDs will turn off briefly) and
|
|
Config Mode will be available.
|
|
|
|
If you have access to the console of the node, there is the
|
|
``gluon-enter-setup-mode`` command, which reboots a node into Config Mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Network-Activated Config Mode
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some models lack a physical button for activating Config Mode. In this case,
|
|
Gluon supports Network-Activated Config Mode. A Linux-utility for activation
|
|
can be built by invoking ``make tools``.
|
|
|
|
To enter Config Mode on a device supporting this method, start the
|
|
``enter-network-config-mode`` application in the ``tools`` subdirectory. Start
|
|
this tool with the name of the network-interface connected to the target
|
|
device as argument. Connect to the LAN-Port (or WAN port if the device has
|
|
only a signle interface) and power-cycle the device.
|
|
|
|
Make sure your computer and the target device are directly connected without
|
|
an intermediate switch.
|
|
|
|
This feature is supported for the following list of devices
|
|
|
|
* ZyXEL NWA55AXE
|
|
|
|
|
|
Port Configuration
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
In general, Config Mode will be offered on the LAN ports. However, there
|
|
are two practical exceptions:
|
|
|
|
* Devices with just one network port will run Config Mode on that port.
|
|
* Devices with PoE on the WAN port will run Config Mode on the WAN port instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accessing Config Mode
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Config Mode can be accessed at http://192.168.1.1. The node will offer DHCP
|
|
to clients. Should this fail, you may assign an IP from 192.168.1.0/24 to
|
|
your computer manually.
