Node Setup Tips
- Update your firmware!
- There’s constant releases with bugfixes, general improvements and new features.
- PLEASE set your Role to CLIENT or CLIENT_MUTE -> Radio Config > Device > Roles
- Unless you have access to 100th flr of 1WTC or Empire State Building, you shouldn’t be using an “infrastructure” role such as
REPEATER,ROUTER,ROUTER_CLIENTorROUTER_LATE. - While you may have the most honest and pure of intentions in choosing such a role the reality is they will pre-empt the large and ever-increasing # of
CLIENTs from retranmission resulting in an over-all diminishment of the mesh’s full potential. - Please, don’t be that person and read up on the importance of choosing the right device role.
- Unless you have access to 100th flr of 1WTC or Empire State Building, you shouldn’t be using an “infrastructure” role such as
- PLEASE do not set your Max Hops to 7 -> Radio Config > LoRa > Max Hops
- The default of
3should be sufficent in a healthy mesh. “Really, 3 is fine.” 4or5if runningCLIENT_MUTEand/or having particular difficulties, but with such a small and densely packed geographic area you are quite likely to have those higher hopped packets leave the Metro area and end up rebroadcasted over 100 miles away!- This prevents the reverse of the effect we occassionally encounter where Meshes in North PA or CT will show up on the Mesh in NYC, even though they’re >75miles away, because they’re running
7hops.
- The default of
- OK to MQTT -> Radio Config > LoRa > OK to MQTT
- Default is false. When set to true, this configuration indicates that the user approves their packets to be uplinked to MQTT brokers, which will allow your node to be seen on the mesh stats and map.
- If set to false, nodes receiving your packets are requested not to forward packets to MQTT.
- Rebroadcast Mode to CORE_PORTNUMS_ONLY -> Radio Config > Device > Rebroadcast Mode
- Ignores packets from non-standard portnums such as: TAK, RangeTest, PaxCounter, etc.
- Only rebroadcasts packets with standard portnums: NodeInfo, Text, Position, Telemetry, and Routing.
- Should help lower high channel utilization.
