Hi! Newby here. I manage to flash and sysupgrade mine. I saved my name and password after verified. After reboot, the node start and under the name (VE3EAD-hap) says "Location Not Available". I understand that, cause I have to go to Setup again to complete the configuration but I can't because my password is not recognized. The Node IP is 10.255.4.9 and DHCP my laptop with 10.255.4.14.
Please, guide me to the solution or the way to re-flashed it.I'm trying to install the first node in London ON to try to create interest on the AREDN way.

Failsafe Feature
The failsafe feature is a method for restoring a node to an operational state after it has fully booted its firmware.
Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds to reset the root password to 'hsmm' and clear DHCP leases.

Click the "Help" link found on the /Status page.
Click the 'Failsafe Feature' link.
"Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds to reset the root password to 'hsmm' and clear DHCP leases."
I hope this helps,

Then I decide to go for the second option. I plug the power cable with reset pressed this time for 15 seconds and wait for it to reboot. Same thing happen.
Then I need to go another step back and start again. Where can I go? Re-flash again? Thanks, Jorge
Hi, Jorge:
It seems to me that you are not using this procedure "after it has fully booted its firmware".
"I can't find any place that say you have to press the reset and then plug the power."
There is no place in this procedure where this is said because this procedure requires that the device be 'fully booted'.
"I delete the password and put there "hsmm" but the window return asking for the password again."
If a password is already in the password-field, then your browser may have saved a password and automagically inserted it.
"First I spend 20, 30 and 40 seconds pressing the reset button"
I first recommend only using the 5 second reset procedure.
Holding the reset button for 5 seconds after fully booted should put the device into 'user=root, password=hsmm' setup mode.
If the 5 second reset procedure fails, then try the 15 second procedure.

If that fails then go to
https://docs.arednmesh.org/en/latest/arednGettingStarted/installing_firmware.html#installing-aredn-trade-firmware
and reinstall the beginning.
I hope this helps,

Hi, Jorge:
You 'sign in' with
user=root
password=<password>

And if I understood well, after change the name of my node to "ve3ead-hap", fill twice my new password and save changes, I have to sign in with "root" and my new password?Jorge

Configuration page?
/status /setup /mesh /ports /admin /advancedconfig
Sorry, videos don't work well for my brain.
I like the written word and snapshots.
Use your favorite search engine for "AREDN setup video"
