After you're finished with the flashing and configuration, your home node should be available for connections via your private WiFi SSID (default <code>pplsopen-admin</code>). Additionally the public SSIDs <code>peoplesopen.net <your mesh IP></code> and <code>peoplesopen.net fast <your mesh IP></code> will be available. It should also be populated on the [https://peoplesopen.herokuapp.com monitor]! | |||
A fourth interface named <code>pplsopen.net-node2node</code> will be detectable as well. This is the interface used for the nodes to mesh with each other. | |||
At this point you're setup. Reach out to the [[Mesh#How_To_Participate|rest of the network]]! | |||
