FMS-lite / cheezy-arena - having trouble getting driver station to show up

To wit, I've been trying to help the team get rudimentary chezy-arena running.
We've found the most helpful thread at https://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/s...light=fms+lite - and our IP setup mirrors that discussion.

We're having some trouble getting the Dlink (configured as fms-lite) to bridge - but I think we will get through that.

In the meantime, I would like to ask somebody to confirm that if we choose to configure the rio as static IP (say at 10.TE.AM.9) and the driver station as static IP (10.TE.AM.6), cheezy-arena machine as static IP (10.0.100.5) and connect them all through a switch (no Dlink), we would expect to see something other than grey displayed in the match_play under the DS/R/B tabs, and be able to start a match with only 1 team (ours) once we bypass the other 5.

Am I missing something here?

Let me start by helping correct a couple issues I see with your setup.
When using a static IP on the DS, always use 10.TE.AM.5 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.

The static address for the RoboRio should be 10.TE.AM.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

The FMS (FMS Lite/Cheesy Arena) should also always be at 10.0.100.5.

Here is the slightly tricky part. If you intend to use the security settings in CA, you really should be using the hardware they have called out.
That said, I believe it might still be possible to use CA without it, but don't quote me on that.
To flash the robot radio to use a specific SSID and WPA, you can use the Radio imaging tool from the KOP, but make sure to use it in "FMS Lite" mode.

I hope this helps a bit.
BTW, I wish you had asked for help at Chezy Champs, I was FTAA there.

Can you provide so more detail as to what exactly your Auto routine does and how you had your components configured? (IP's etc.)
