......@@ -5,19 +5,56 @@ This script changes the SSID when there is no connection to the selected Gateway
Once a minute it checks if there's still a gateway reachable with
site.conf
=========
Adapt and add this block to your site.conf:
```
ssid_changer = {
switch_timeframe = 1, -- only once every timeframe (in minutes) the SSID will change to OFFLINE
-- set to 1440 to change once a day
-- set to 1 minute to change every time the router gets offline
first = 5, -- the first few minutes directly after reboot within which an Offline-SSID always may be activated
prefix = 'FF_OFFLINE_', -- use something short to leave space for the nodename (no '~' allowed!)
suffix = 'nodename', -- generate the SSID with either 'nodename', 'mac' or to use only the prefix: 'none'
tq_limit_enabled = 0, -- if false, the offline SSID will only be set if there is no gateway reacheable
-- upper and lower limit to turn the offline_ssid on and off
-- in-between these two values the SSID will never be changed to prevent it from toggeling every minute.
-- TODO: enabled=1 still has to be implemented
tq_limit_max = '55', -- upper limit, above that the online SSID will be used
tq_limit_min = '45' -- lower limit, below that the offline SSID will be used
},
```
if tq_limit is disabled, then it will be only checked, if the gateway is reachable with
batctl gwl -H
and then decides if a change of the SSID is necessary: There is a variable
MINUTES (default 1440 = 24h) at the top of the script `files/lib/gluon/ssid-changer/ssid-changer.sh`
that defines a time interval in which a successful check that detects an offline
state is allowed to change the SSID once to "FF_OFFLINE_$node_hostname". Only the
first few (also definable in a variable FIRST) minutes the OFFLINE_SSID may also
be set. All other minutes a checks will just be reported in the log and whenever
an online state is detected the SSID will be set back immediately back to normal.
Depending on the connectivity, it will be decided if a change of the SSID is
necessary: There is a variable `switch_timeframe` (for ex. 1440 = 24h) that
defines a time interval after which a successful check that detects an offline
state will result in a single change of the SSID to "FF_OFFLINE_$node_hostname".
Only the first few (also definable in a variable `first`) minutes the
OFFLINE_SSID may also be set. All other minutes a checks will just be reported
in the log and whenever an online state is detected the SSID will be set back
immediately back to normal.
Commandline options
===================
You can configure the ssid-changer on the commandline with `uci`, for example
disable it with:
uci set ssid-changer.settings.enabled='0'
Gluon versions
==============
This branch of the script contains the ssid-changer version for the gluon 2016.2.x.
