After you're finished with the setup, you can do the following to test out your new home node.
After you're finished with the makenode configuration, your home node should be available for connections via your private WiFi SSID. Additionally the public SSID 'peoplesopen.net' will be available.


=== Network Settings ===
For more information on using your node, such as accessing the web-based management interface, see [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|Home node info]]


The IP address of your home node on the private network will change after the makenode configuration is completed.
For more technical details on the internals of the home node, accessible via SSH, see [[Home Node Troubleshooting]]
 
Reconfigure your machine to use the following network settings, then connect it to Ethernet port 1 to connect on the local private network interface.
 
* IP Address: 172.22.0.9
* Netmask: 255.255.255.0
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0
 
See Network Configuration Guides: [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20Linux Linux] [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20MacOS%20X Mac]
 
=== SSH into your Home Node ===
 
Your home node is accessible via the [https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/dropbear Dropbear] Secure Shell (SSH) server. You can run the following command to attempt to log into your home node.
 
  ssh root@172.22.0.1
  The authenticity of host '172.22.0.1 (172.22.0.1)' can't be established.
  RSA key fingerprint is b8:9d:4a:2f:1b:f5:e1:ae:b8:19:5b:70:92:8b:7f:34.
  Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
 
After accepting the key by entering 'yes' and pressing ENTER, it will ask you for the root password.
 
The default the root password used after flashing your home node with the SudoMesh firmware build is <tt>meshtheplanet</tt>. If you have configured your device already using `./makenode`, you'll need to use the root password you specified.
 
If you'd like to add your ssh key to the router (instead of using a root password), add it to the <tt>configs/authorized_keys</tt> file. You'll see that there are 3 other keys there for our developers. You can remove them if you'd like, but they're currently the only way we can provide remote support. During the alpha test phase we ask that you consider whether you are able to do diagnostics/debugging yourself before you remove them.
 
=== Confirm that the Node is Running ===
 
Click on the network icon on the top right of the toolbar to see the available wireless networks (or run <code>sudo iwlist wlan0 scan</code> in your Linux terminal)
 
If configuration proceeded correctly, you should see the 'peoplesopen.net' and 'pplsopen.net-node2node' WIFI interfaces.
 
At this point you're setup. For more information on using your node, such as accessing the web-based management interface, see [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|Home node info]]
