Web Interface
The Nucleus V1 includes an onboard web interface accessible at <node IP>:5000 that provides monitoring and control capabilities.
The Wi-Fi tab shows the node's hostname and local Wi-Fi MAC address in the upper right corner. Each mesh connection is displayed as a card below. Navigation buttons are in the upper right corner.
BATMAN-adv creates a layer 2 connection so statistics are based on MAC addresses vs IP. Each connection card shows:
- Connected Device MAC Address: The MAC address of the connected nodes
- Last Seen: Time since the last OGM message from that node
- Throughput: Batman's estimate of the connection throughput (could vary from actual throughput)
-
Next Hop: The next hop to get to that node
- If there is a direct connection, the next hop will be the end node's MAC
- If the connection is moving through another node, that node's MAC address will show in the next hop section
Allows the user to set the WiFi channel of the mesh. Note: all nodes need to be on the same channel. This requires a reboot to take effect.
Select scan duration time and start. The results will be displayed in an analysis card (details below) and the mesh will be re-established once the scan is done.
Allows the user to set the node IP address. This requires a reboot to take effect.
This button will reboot the device.
This looks at the 3 non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, shows the score for those channels and offers a quick select button to change to that channel.
Shows results for all the 2.4GHz channels and their respective scores. The lower the score, the less congested the channel. In the US only channels 1-11 are available.
