Administration notes

Normal use: copy public key from admin unit:

  • should be static, e.g. not a mobile unit unless you are a roaming repair guy (see DeNiro in "Brazil")
  • should have large antenna to join distant nodes directly, without hops
  • can be in client mode, not client mute
  • public key is generated FROM private key, so is unit dependent
EXCEPT
  • It is possible to copy a private key from one admin unit to another, then generate a new "cloned" public key
n.b.
  • channels cannot (so far) be remotely administered 
  • changes in role may be contested (e.g. moving to/from router may balk)
  • wait at least a minute before trying to change settings on a remote unit
  • best practice: add your three admin public keys to all machines, once added locally, you can then remotely admin these
  • chrome app only allows one admin key, iOS allows three, python allows three (at least) 
  • be careful to check config both by the admin screens and by looking at local meshsense maps to confirm config changes
