Register Equipment for Basic Internet

This site helps you to register equipment used in projects with the Basic Internet Foundation.

Use: http://Equipment.BasicInternet.no for the list of equipment, or http://Router.BasicInternet.no for the list of RDB52G routers. The link "add equipment" is used to register new equipment.

1. Change registered equipment

Equipment sent from Norway gets preregistered, you'll see it on the Equipment or Router page (see above). If you want to edit, just click on the link of the equipment, and use edit with form (Login required).

The information is as follows:

  2. use an existing file, e.g. Mikrotik_Router_RBD52G_39,
  • use the edit button (not edit with form),
  • copy all content,
  • write in the address line https://its-wiki.no/wiki/Mikrotik_Router_RBD52G_95 (or whatever the next free number is), then
  • copy all content from RDB52G_39 to this new file, and update the fields accordingly
  • make sure that you add the right MAC addresses and Identity
  • save - the router will then appear in the list of routers: http://Router.BasicInternet.no

Note on Identity

The Routers (LNCC, see BasicInternet:Solutions) need to talk to the MainCoreRouter of the Basic Internet Foundation. Reason is that the access management, inclusive handling of vouchers, is centralised. Thus, every router has a unique identity to establish the VPN and connect to the MainCoreRouter.

The identity is a username & password which the LNCC uses to connect. Once the identity is established, then we can establish a monitoring of the LNCC.
