Demonstration event robot comm

[phargo#1018]

First off - thanks to all the suggestions I received.
Everything came off great!

I purchased a middle of the road router with dual-band capability.
Brought with me a set of Cat5 cables for the drivestations.
I made sure I had the latest radio configuration software.

The basic process was to
Setup the SSIDs for the two router bands,
Setup a WPA password for each band,
Change the admin password on the router,
Configure the router as 10.0.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0

The real key on radio setups was to use the 'FMS-Lite Mode' in 'Tools'.
Most of the radios took the configuration on the first pass.

I had forgotten to read up on the drive station configuration.
Once I set the IP address of the drive station to 10.TE.AM.6, everything worked fine!

Attached are the step-by-step instructions I created.
Replace my #1018 centric jargon with your own choices, and away you go!

One comment: Using an independent workstation to check for connected devices on the router was very helpful. That way I could verify wireless comm to the robots and cabled comm to the drive stations. This removed a lot of guesswork.

Have fun, good luck to all!
