Configure Node Script

Item Value Description
Node ID Name of the Node. This must begin with your callsign, and should be followed with a unique identifier, since you may now or in the future have more than one Node or Sector. This may use either upper or lower case letters. For example, kz7zzz-01.
Latitude Latitude in decimal degrees. Optional, but recommended. This will be the location that appears on the HamWAN map. For example, 45.523064.
Longitude Longitude in decimal degrees. Optional, but recommended. This will be the location that appears on the HamWAN map. For example, -122.676483.
SSH Port Standard (22)
Custom (222)		 Optionally move the SSH port from 22 to 222. This doesn't really improve security, but it significantly decreases the cracking attempts that clutter the logs and burn CPU time. Note that if you change the standard port, you must specify the custom port when you ssh to your device.
Experimental Frequencies Standard
Experimental		 Optionally enable experimental frequencies (as well as the standard frequencies), for testing with Sectors that are using these experimental frequencies.

Miktotik Command to Install this Script

/tool fetch url="http://www.oregonhamwan.org/node.rsc" mode=http\
      http-method=post http-data="kz7zzz-01&lat=45.523064&lon=-122.676483"

Mikrotik Command to Execute this Script

To execute this script, use one of the following two commands. The first command resets the device prior to running the script. Note that this will terminate your connection, and you will not be able to reconnect to the device until the script has completed. The second command allows you to watch as the script is executed. 

/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes run-after-reset=node.rsc
/import verbose=yes file=node.rsc

Next Steps

After running the script to configure your Node, and before connecting to the HamWAN network, you should create a new user ID with a strong password, verify that you can login using this new user ID and password, and then remove the admin user ID: 

/user add group=full name=yourUserID password=••••••••••••••
/user remove [find name=admin]
