Um die TP-Link Router TL-MR3020 oder TL-WR703N in eine Meteobridge zu verwandeln, muß lediglich das Meteobridge Firmware Image auf diese Geräte geflasht werden. Das Flashen kann mit der entsprechenden Funktion der Standard-Web-Oberfläche dieser Router erfolgen. Wenn man eine fremde Firmware auf die Router flasht, verlieren diese die Herstellergewährleistung. Angesichts des geringen Kaufpreises der Geräte keine große Sache, aber man sollte wissen, dass man auf eigenes Risiko handelt.

Flashen der Meteobridge-Firmware auf den TL-MR3020

In der TP-Link Bedienungsanleitung ist beschrieben, wie man eine neue Firmware auf dem Router einspielt. Der Zugriff auf den Router erfolgt über einen Web-Browser mittels eines PCs der via Ethernet-Kabel an den Router angeschlossen ist. Zunächst muss man sich auf dem Router anmelden (voreingestellte IP ist 192.168.0.254, Login-Name ist "admin", Passwort ist "admin"). Wenn man Zugriff zum Web-Interface des TL-MR3020 hat, wird die TP-Link Firmware auf dieselbe Weise überschrieben, wie man ein TP-Link Firmware-Update einspielt. Dabei ist die folgende Firmware zu verwenden meteobridge-tl-mr3020-v1.0.bin und abzuwarten, bis der Router neu startet. Nach dem Neustart befindet sich der Meteobridge-Client in der Standardkonfiguration, in der er IP und Netzwerkparameter via DHCP aus dem LAN bezieht.

Flashen der Meteobridge-Firmware auf den TL-WR703N

Da der TL-WR703N nur mit einer Chinesischen Web-Oberfläche daherkommt, ist es etwas umständlich die richtigen Links und Knöpfe auf der Oberfläche zu finden, um das Firmware-Update einzuspielen. Zunächst muss man sich mit dem Browser einloggen. Dies erfolgt am Besten mit einem per Ethernet-Kabel direkt an den TL-WR703N angeschlossenen PC. Das Web-Interface des Routers ist standardmäßig unter der IP 192.168.1.1 erreichbar, der Login-Name ist "admin", das Passwort ist "admin".

Wenn man Zugriff zum Web-Interface des TL-WR703N hat, muss der Reiter am Ende des Menus auf der linken Seite ausgewählt werden (ist rot markiert auf dem anhängenden Bild). Als Nächstes ist der im Bild (flash screen) hellrot markierte Menupunkt auszuwählen und die zu flashenden Datei über das in der Abbildung rot markierte Dateiauswahlmenu in der Bildschirmmitte zu selektieren. Dabei bitte die folgenden Meteobridge-Firmware verwenden: meteobridge-tl-wr703n-v1.0.bin

  • system screen

  • flash screen

Abschließend den aufpoppenden "Sind Sie sicher" Dialog mit der Taste "Yes" bestätigen und abwarten bis die Fortschrittsanzeige 100% erreicht hat. Des Gerät bootet dann automatisch und meldet sich fortan als Meteobridge. Als Voreinstellung befindet sich die Meteobridge im DHCP Client-Mode, bei dem die Netzwerkparameter vom Router im LAN requestiert werden.

Flashen der Meteobridge Firmware auf den WL-330N3G

Der ASUS WL-330N3G bietet nicht die Möglichkeit, fremde Firmware-Images per Web-Oberfläche zu installieren. Daher ist es notwendig, dass eine TFTP-Umgebung aufgesetzt wird, die den WL-330N3G mit einer neuen Firmware updaten kann. Das Aufsetzen und die Verwendung von TFTP ist relativ einfach.

First of all the router needs to toggled into "TFTP update mode". This is done by keeping the button on the top pressed for 5-10 seconds while doing a power cycle. After a couple of seconds the power LED starts a very slow blinking. You can now release the button. Router now waits for being firmware-updated via TFTP.

Sections below describe how to do it for Linux and Windows 7.

Flashing via TFTP on Linux

TFTP update does not need any additional software installed, your Linux already has all you need. Flashing is very straight forward, just execute the script below.
#!/bin/sh
#
if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
  echo "error: flash sys file missing as parameter"
  exit 1
else
  echo "power cycle WL-330N3G with button pressed and wait"
  echo "until power LED does go off and on again. Then "
  echo "release button and press <RETURN>."
  read a
  echo "start flashing..."
  ifconfig br0:0 192.168.1.20
  echo -ne "binary\ntrace\nrexmt 1\nput $1\nquit\n" | tftp 192.168.1.1
  echo "...transfer done."
  echo "Wait until unit does reboot (will take at least 2 minutes). "
  echo "Do not remove from power during flash process!"
fi

The script needs to be called with the flash update file meteobridge-wl-330n3g-v1.0.sys as parameter. Please execute the script as root, otherwise "ifconfig" and "tftp" will not do or will ask for root password. "ifconfig" sets a virtual ethernet adapter with IP 192.168.1.20 on your Linux box, which is the IP the router expects to get the firmware update from.

Flashing via TFTP on Windows 7

First you have to enable the TFTP service of your Windows 7. You can do that by

  1. Open Control Panel > Programs and Features
  2. Click "Turn Windows features on or off" on left side menu
  3. Enable "TFTP Client" then click OK button

Next step is to set the IP of your hosts Ethernet adapter to "192.168.1.20". This will disconnect your Host from your network (as far as your equip is not in the 192.168.1.x class c subnet) but it is necessary to use this distinct IP address in order to make the WL-330N3G to accept the flash data transfer. If you dont know how to set your Ethernet adapter to a static IP, please have a look here.

When TFTP is enabled and IP of your host PC is set to 192.168.1.20 we can start flashing. Please open a CMD shell and type in the command 
tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put flash-file-name
where flash-file-name is the name of the image to flash. When command is done successfully, number of transferred bytes is displayed.

Final Flashing Tasks

IP of router in update mode is 192.168.1.1, which hopefully will not do a collision with one of your other devices. If there is a collision, switch off the other devices during flash. After data has been transferred via TFTP you have to wait a couple of minutes until flash process inside the router is done and router restarts itself. Restart switches off all LEDs for a short time. Now it is safe to disconnect the router from power. Interrupting the flash processes by a power cycle will brick the router.

IP Signaling

When Meteobridge is connected to your LAN it will try to receive a dynamic IP from your DHCP server during boot. Wait until blinking of the largest LED has stopped. Do a short press on the push button on the top (TL-MR3020, WL-330N3G) or a short press of the reset button behind the pinhole at the back of the unit (TL-WR703N). Now LED will start signaling the IP.

Meteobridge will signal its IP by pulsing the LED beneath the pressed button (TL-MR3020) or the blue LED on the top of the device (TL-WR703N) or the power LED (WL-330N3G). Sequence begins with LED going off, then each of the four numbers (delimited by a dot) will be signaled one by one. The dot between the numbers will be signaled by a "H" (LED shines bright). Each number is signaled by blinking digit per digit. Each digit is represented by a "M" (LED shines medium dimmed) repeated as often as the digit tells us. The zero digit is signaled by ten blinks. After having done this for all digits of all numbers of the IP, the end is signaled by LED staying off a while like it started with. When Sequenze is done, the LED is constantly turned on again.

Example: IP 192.168.10.77 Legend: M = LED medium dimmed, H = LED shines bright, _ = LED is dark 

Signal:                                          Comment
___M___M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M___M_M___H               192
___M___M_M_M_M_M_M___M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M___H         168
___M___M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M_M___H                   10
___M_M_M_M_M_M_M___M_M_M_M_M_M_M___              77

When Meteobridge is connected via LAN it will signal the LAN IP. To get the WLAN IP signaled in that case, please disconnect ethernet cable from meteobridge's LAN port and start IP signaling again. This time WLAN IP will be signaled.

If you don't like reading the blinks, you can also use an IP scanner (for example: Advanced IP Scanner) or you can look into the logs of your router that provides IPs via DHCP for clients in the LAN/WLAN.

When a FAT formatted USB stick is connected to the USB port, a file "network.log" is written to the USB stick in addition to the LED blinking. The file will look like this:
Sat Jan  5 00:23:16 UTC 2013
MAC:     xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
LAN IP:  192.168.123.245

Cloud Simulator for Network Configuration

If Meteobridge client cannot connect to your LAN or your LAN does not provide a DHCP service, large LED will not leave fast-blinking mode. To get network settings fixed, you can define the correct network parameters in a simulator in the Internet, which works as follows.

  1. Please browse to config.meteobridge.com. There you will find a simulation of the Meteobridge web interface. Please select the "Setup Network" tab and configure settings as needed for your specific network situation.
  2. When settings are done, please press "save" and change to "Download" tab which will cause your browser to start downloading a configuration file named "config.tgz".
  3. Please store that file (as is, do not unpack) on a USB stick formatted as FAT32 and start the Meteobridge with the USB stick plugged into the USB port of Meteobridge. When network settings are right, Meteobridge will stop with slow and fast blinking and turn on the LED constantly.
  4. You can now remove the USB stick, it is no longer needed. When you restart this Meteobridge client with the same USB stick inserted, file "config.tgz" on USB stick will not be used again as it has been marked as used for this specific Meteobridge unit. Nevertheless, the stick can still be used to setup networking of other Meteobridge clients.

First Login

When you have done the flashing of your meteobridge and initial network setup done, you can reach meteobridge for final configuration with your browser by typing in its IP as URL.

As login is protected by a password, your browser will ask for a user name and password. Please enter meteobridge as user und also meteobridge as password. While the user cannot be changed, you can change the password later on. On first login you will be guided to "License" tab, where you have to accept license terms and have to press "Save and Apply" befor you can navigate to the other tabs. Sections listed in the setup menu at the left will tell you how to finalize configuration so that your weather data gets finally uploaded to Weather Underground.

Your browser will show you meteobridge's web interface with 5 tabs. Please go through all these tabs and make the required settings. The page will show warnings for all still missing essentials until you have worked through all of this. It is just a few steps, which will be explained in the setup chapters, page by page.

Back to Defaults

When you have misconfigured the network or system password in a way that you can't no longer reach meteobridge, you can revert the system back to defaults by pressing the button on the top of TL-MR3020 / WL-330N3G or the reset button at the back of TL-WR703N at the back behind a pin hole. By pushing these buttons you can revert to defaults in two ways.

  1. Reset to default network operation is done by pressing the button and keeping it presses until LED goes on again for the first time. Now release button and system will restart with default network configuration, which is LAN DHCP client mode. Network settings done before are still stored inside meteobridge when unit has started in LAN DHCP client mode, but these will need additional "Save" clicks to be made active again.
  2. Reset password is done by pressing button and keeping it pressed until LED goes on for the second time. Meteobridge will reboot and will be available with default password via ssh (user root, password meteobridge) and http (user meteobridge, password meteobridge).

Flash Again

When you need to flash a new Meteobridge firmware to your TL-MR3020 or TL-WR703N, you can do that by going to "Setup Network" tab on Meteobridge web interface und pressing "Expert Mode (OpenWrt)" button. This will bring you to the openwrt SW stack below meteobridge application software stack. If your device cannot load Meteobridge application stack from the Internet for some reason, you can also directly access openwrt web interface by browsing to "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge-device/cgi-bin/luci". Login with your Meteobridge password and goto "System" tab. Select sub tab "Backup / Flash Firmware" and use offered "Flash new firmware" section. Unmark "keep settings" option and start flashing. Keep device connected to power, it will restart automatically. If you have a WL-330N3G, this always needs to be flashed with the TFTP environment as in setup section for that device explained.
