Silver Lining May 24, 2009

This article is to help explain how to integrate Silver Lining with your Open-Mesh network.  If you have any questions, or require assistance, please do not hesitate to email support@silverliningnetworks.com, or create a help ticket here on our support dashboard.

Note: Your Open-Mesh router must be using the 2.6.23 kernel, more commonly referred to as the 23 kernel.  We recommend ROBIN firmware versions r1522 and r2168.  Your device must also have 32 MB of SDRAM and 8 MB of flash in order to install Silver Lining. We currently support the MR3201A, OM1P, and PicoStation devices.

Instructions for adding Silver Lining to your Open-Mesh dashboard:

  1. Log in to your Open-Mesh dashboard
  2. Click on the “SSID #1” tab
  3. Scroll down to “Captive Portal Options”. You must have “Open” selected here in order to see the Silver Lining option listed further down the page.
  4. Scroll down and check the box “Show Ad Bar” to the left of the Silver Lining logo.
  5. Click “Update Network Settings” at the top, right. This will install Silver Lining on your Open-Mesh network. Clicking “Update Network Settings” on your Open-Mesh dashboard will automatically restart the routers on your network.

Silver Lining is now installed on your Open-Mesh dashboard.
