    gluon-setup-mode: add DECT button to enter setup mode · b359ed18
    Misanthropos authored
    many AVM devices do not have RESET/WPS buttons. So use the otherwise unused DECT/PHONE button to boot the device into setup mode.
    
    This patch allows to enter the setup-mode by pressing the phone button
    (often labeled as DECT) in addition to WPS and reset button.
    
    This patch is necessary to allow supporting boards without a WPS and reset
    button (e.g. AVM FRITZ!Box 7312).

Config Mode

When in Config Mode a node will neither participate in the mesh nor connect to the VPN using the WAN port. Instead, it'll offer a web interface on the LAN port to aid configuration of the node.

Whether a node is in Config Mode can be determined by a characteristic blinking sequence of the SYS LED:

Activating Config Mode

Config Mode is automatically entered at the first boot. You can re-enter Config Mode by pressing and holding the RESET/WPS/DECT button for about three seconds. The device should reboot (all LEDs will turn off briefly) and Config Mode will be available.

Port Configuration

In general, Config Mode will be offered on the LAN ports. However, there are two practical exceptions:

  • Devices with just one network port will run Config Mode on that port.
  • Devices with PoE on the WAN port will run Config Mode on the WAN port instead.

Accessing Config Mode

Config Mode can be accessed at http://192.168.1.1. The node will offer DHCP to clients. Should this fail, you may assign an IP from 192.168.1.0/24 to your computer manually.
