(optional, but FUN FUN FUN!) Using your Orinoco signal meter, actually see an increase in power output from the WAP-11 (if you have an Orinoco card that is) - you should be able to see signal of -20dbm to -27dbm easily if you are close to the WAP-11, instead of the -37dbm you normally see from 30mW devices.
(選擇性項目, 屬餘興類), 用你的Orinoco訊號表, 正確地觀察從WAP-11所增加的power輸出,(如果你有Orinoco卡的話), 當靠近Wap-11時你應該可以看到訊號從 –20dbm到-27dbm, 而不是從30mW所發出的-37dbm
(optional, but may be necessary in some cases) If you still are using OLD firmware (1.4i1 or lower), I suggest you upgrade to 1.4J1. 1.4J1 is an easy upgrade as you can do it across the network. I'm going to try to reverse engineer this and see if I can make it version independent so it can be used for flashing any version of firmware across the network. If anyone else wants to take a stab at reverse engineering it, go to it! You can get it on my website here ("http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/wap11/firmware/1.4j1"). Flashing the firmware will not modify the power settings.
(選擇性項目, 但有時必須去做)如果你仍使用舊的韌體(1.4i1或更低的), 我建議你升級到 1.4J1, 1.4J1可讓你很容易地升級, 我將會試試看用工程性的改變把它變成一個獨立的版本, 如此它就可以更換任何版本的韌體, 如果有任何人想要作工程性的修改, 快去做, 你可以從這裡下載
http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/wap11/firmware/1.4j1 , 而更換韌體並不會改變power的輸出
There must be something else that can be changed in the .ini file to allow you to actually change, _and make stick_, the operational region setting, thus you can put it in japan region, and get all 14 channels (and pump them all up to 100mw) which could allow you to run bridges in channels that don't interfer with regular access points in a really dense network, etc. With this current hack, you can change the setting, but it never sticks in the AP - once you disconnect and reconnect to it, it's back to it's usual FCC domain.
還有一些在.ini檔裡, 讓你去做其他的變更, 像操作區域等, 這樣你可以變更成日本區(Japan region), 得到14個頻道, 全部增押到100mw, 如此可讓你在頻道裡使用橋接而不會影響到正常密度網路的正規AP, 用這種破解, 你可以改變設定, 但不會纏在AP中, 一旦你中斷再重連後. 它又回歸到FCC所規定的範圍.
UPDATE: I have now figured out how to do this - e-mail me if you want to know how. ("mailto:hakmana_at_hotmail_dot_com") you'll have to fix the address. It should be obvious.
更新: 我已經交了如何做, 要知道為何這樣做, 寫信給我:
Using the SMC config program for their MC2655W (which hardware wise is identical), you can upgrade FIRMWARE ACROSS THE NETWORK via SNMP. This means that you don't need to think about USB over Ethernet (I've tried it by the way - works to ~60 feet) or physical access to the unit's USB port to do firmware updates (like if you mount it in a weather proof box on your roof!).
SMC的組態程式來對付它的MS2655W, 你可以透過 SNMP, 從網路直接升級韌體, 這表示你不需要使用到USB等東西
UPDATE: The newest firmware (1.4J1) comes with a utility to do this. Get it from my website ("http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/wap11/firmware/1.4j1") NOTE
更新: 最新的1.4J1韌體含工具程式可從此下載
http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/wap11/firmware/1.4j1
ABOUT 1.4J1 to SMC2655W users - apparantly, 1.4J1 breaks the factory reset switch functions, and because the device doesn't have a USB port, you're going to want to make sure you always remember your snmp password!
SMC2655W使用者要注意: 1.4J1已經破了還原原廠設定(RESET)的功能, 而且它沒有USB, 你千萬要記住SNMP的密碼
With the ATMEL utility, there's a program called IPConfig.exe where you EXTRACT the self extracting .exe (NOT where you install it to) that allows you to type in the MAC address and set the IP address. This is usefull in downgrading firmware (Wap11DowngradingFirmware)
ATMEL工具程式中, 有個叫做IPConfig.exe, 解開它並執行, 它可以讓你寫入mac位址並設定IP位址, 這在降級韌體程式時很有用(Wap11DowngradingFirmware )
You can find various other things on my website at ("http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/wap11") Have fun playing with your WAP11/SMC MC2655W/or Netgear ME102 (and others too) in all operating modes at 100mw on all channels now!
你可以在我的網站
http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/wap11 上找到更多的東西來修改你的Wap11/SMC MC2655W/Netgear ME102, 讓它們全部的頻道都使用100mw
