Re: Open Mesh Radio Config for Scrimmage (HELP!)

You shouldn't need to manually change anything on the OM5P-AN after running the configuration utility.

Here's what worked for us, using the 2015 offseason FMS (posted here).

Router - configured as per the FMS documentation
  • IP address: 10.0.100.1
  • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  • DHCP server: Configured to serve addresses starting from 10.0.100.50
  • 5GHz WiFi enabled, with WPA

The one trick we found with the router is that the bridge configuration utility doesn't support the hyphen character in SSIDs. Last year our FMS router was set up as "field-5," so we just replaced the hyphen with an underscore.

We don't mess around with VLANs or separate SSIDs. We use the bridge configuration utility in FMS Lite mode to configure the radios as bridges that all connect to the same SSID.

At this point, the OM5P-AN should be able to connect to the router just fine. If the wireless LED on the radio is orange, then it has connected to the router.

Also be sure that you are using the latest bridge configuration utility, found here.

Finally, if you were using VLANs before, double check your FMS networking config:
  • IP Address: 10.0.100.5
  • Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
  • Default gateway: 10.0.100.1
  • DNS server: 10.0.100.1
