Lan connection.- setup connection to Flukso V2

Ive been reading my Flukso thru a lan cable plugged into the side of a notebook to adj sensors, get ip addy etc. outside next to the switchboard.

Can I read the Flukso on my nework thru wireless(1) or run the lan cable to a port on my wireless router that my main pc is plugged into(2)

If so how do I access? Any clues?

Hi Bazzle,

You cannot access the local web pages via the wireless interface by default. The FLM firewall will block requests on port 80 on the wifi itf. You can change this by ssh'ing into the device via ethernet and then running two commands:

  1. icarus75@cirrus:~ $ ssh root@192.168.255.1 [passwd: root]
  2. root@flukso-9caf78:~$ uci set firewall.@zone[1].input=ACCEPT
  3. root@flukso-9caf78:~$ uci commit

Cheers,
Bart.

Thanks Bart, Ill stick to the lan cable and add some cat5 wall sockets as needed.

You only have to type in the commands. Don't include the prompt part. So:

  1. uci set firewall.@zone[1].input=ACCEPT
  2. uci commit

A shell command finishes when the shell prompt is printed again (at least for commands running in the foreground). So yes, it's finished. In order for the changes to take effect, launch this command

  1. /etc/init.d/firewall restart

Thanks Icarus

I did that and it went to the shell prompt again.. :)
I still cannot read the Flukso wirelessly though, only thru the cable.
