Installation
------------
1. Login to the router web interface (superadmin:serial number)
2. Navigate to Administration -> Miscellaneous -> Access control lists &
enable telnet & enable "Remote control from any IP address"
3. Connect to the router using telnet (default admin:admin)
4. Place *factory.trx on any web server (192.168.1.2 in this example)
5. Connect to the router using telnet shell (no password required)
6. Save MAC adresses to U-Boot environment:
uboot_env --set --name eth2macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth2 | \
awk '{print $5}')
uboot_env --set --name eth3macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth3 | \
awk '{print $5}')
uboot_env --set --name ra0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep ra0 | \
awk '{print $5}')
uboot_env --set --name rax0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep rax0 | \
awk '{print $5}')
7. Ensure that MACs were saved correctly:
uboot_env --get --name eth2macaddr
uboot_env --get --name eth3macaddr
uboot_env --get --name ra0macaddr
uboot_env --get --name rax0macaddr
8. Download and write the OpenWrt images:
cd /tmp
wget http://192.168.1.2/factory.trx
mtd_write erase /dev/mtd4
mtd_write write factory.trx /dev/mtd4
9. Set 1st boot partition and reboot:
uboot_env --set --name bootpartition --value 0
Back to Stock
-------------
1. Run in the OpenWrt shell:
fw_setenv bootpartition 1
reboot
2. Optional step. Upgrade the stock firmware with any version to
overwrite the OpenWrt in Slot 1.
MAC addresses
-------------
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
| Interface | MAC | Source |
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
| label | A4:xx:xx:51:xx:F4 | No MACs was |
| LAN | A4:xx:xx:51:xx:F6 | found on Flash |
| WAN | A4:xx:xx:51:xx:F4 | [1] |
| WLAN_2g | A4:xx:xx:51:xx:F5 | |
| WLAN_5g | A6:xx:xx:21:xx:F5 | |
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
[1]:
a. Label wasb't found neither in factory nor in other places.
b. MAC addresses are stored in encrypted partition "glbcfg". Encryption
key hasn't known yet. To ensure the correct MACs in OpenWrt, a hack
with saving of the MACs to u-boot-env during the installation was
applied.
c. Default Ralink ethernet MAC address (00:0C:43:28:80:A0) was found in
"Factory" 0xfff0. It's the same for all MTS WG430223 devices. OEM
firmware also uses this MAC when initialazes ethernet driver. In
OpenWrt we use it only as internal GMAC (eth0), all other MACs are
unique. Therefore, there is no any barriers to the operation of several
MTS WG430223 devices even within the same broadcast domain.
