ponte2 - Fonera as Repeater and Access Point / AP client
home disclaimer use outlines download INSTALL README (to be translated) main web site (other info, blog,...)

install

cp /www/index.html /www/index.html.fon

download latest release of ponte2 and copy it onto Fonera's directory / by scp (pscp.exe for Windows)
```
scp ponte.tar.gz root@169.254.255.1:/
```
or use another tool as tfpt or what you prefer.
Login to Fonera ad expand the file:
```
cd /
tar xzvf ponte.tar.gz
reboot
```

post installation

change some permissions on Fonera file system

chmod +x /www/cgi-bin/ponte2.cgi
chmod +x /www/cgi-bin/stat.cgi
chmod +x /etc/ponte2

and check file ownership.

Be sure that Fonera's httpd service will be "on":
```
ps aux | grep httpd
```
as above, if the service is down start it:
```
# /etc/init.d/S50httpd start
```

Run your preferred browser and point to URL http://169.254.255.1/

and click on ponte2 configuration page. (the link Fon mode let you browse the standard mode Fon pages).

Put attention: the cgi make no controls about values of the form!
After you have submitted the form wait some seconds for page returning the configuration file made by the form, then close your browser. From the ssh session, you can examine the files created by cgi:

cat /etc/ponte2.conf
cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf
cat/etc/acl_list.conf

Note that cgi everytime saves the old versions!

From the ssh connetion, run /etc/ponte2: the script seems to be stalled... be faithfully!
Clicking on the button you'll get a complete page (here for example) about Fonera's status. Now you can close the safe ssh session.
If you don't want change the configuration you don't have to run the config web page; after a reboot you simply run ponte2 by logging via ssh and then run /etc/ponte2 simply.

Have fun !
