panther_rutx11

Description

Network configuration scripts for RUTX11 router inside Panther. Enables quick way to set WiFi client, WiFi access-point, cellular (LTE), GNSS, Husarnet network and more. Scripts are compatible with Teltonika RUTX11 running customized OpenWRT-19.XX with latest Travelmate package installed.

WiFi behavior

Client Mode

Panther can be connected to the existing WiFi network on 2.4 GHz using it as an uplink. Multiple SSID can be set, the router will prioritize them in descending order. If signal strength falls below set limit, the next (if available) network will be used.

Note: While uplink on 5 GHz radio is possible, due to chipset limitations it is impossible to enable roaming and multiple SSID. As a result, we recommend using 2.4 GHZ for uplink.

Access-point (STA mode)

In default configuration on both radios (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) access-point is enabled with SSID Panther_XXXX and Panther_5G_XXXX, where XXXX is serial number of Panther. SSID, password, enabled radios can be changed (see configuration options below)

Configuration

Configuration is stored in config.json file using extended version of JSON, which enables comments and advanced error messages. To apply new configuration, execute setup.py which is located in the same folder as config.json by command: ./setup.py.

Configuration options

Config file is divided into sections (arrays), which are listed with possible options as below.

Section name	Multiple arrays
wifi_client	yes
wifi_ap	no
cellular	yes
gnss	no
husarnet	no

wifi_client

This section can contain multiple arrays of below option:

Option	Required	Default value	Description / valid values
radio	yes	-	Defines used radio. 0 is recommended. 0 - 2.4 GHz radio 1 - 5 GHz radio
ssid	yes	-	SSID (name) of WiFi network to join.
encryption	yes	-	open - open network psk2 - WPA2 encrypted network WEP encryption is not supported.
password	no	-	Password protecting chosen network. For open encryption not required. For psk2 length is minimum of 8 characters.

wifi_ap

This section is used to configure access-point setting. The most common use is changing the default password for WiFi. Can contain multiple arrays of below option

Option	Required	Default value	Description / valid values
radio	yes	-	Defines used radio. 0 - 2.4 GHz radio 1 - 5 GHz radio
ssid	no	Panther_XXXX for 2.4 GHz (radio 0) Panther_5G_XXXX for 5 GHz (radio 1)	SSID (name) of WiFi network to create. XXXX in default value is Panther serial number.
encryption	yes	-	open - open network psk2 - WPA2 encrypted network WEP encryption is not supported.
password	no	-	Password protecting chosen network. For open encryption not required. For psk2 length is minimum of 8 characters.

cellular

Option	Required	Default value	Description / valid values
sim	yes	-	Defines used SIM slot. 0 - first SIM slot 1 - second SIM slot
enable	yes	-	0 - disable SIM slot 1 - enable SIM slot
pin	no	-	PIN code to SIM card. 4 to 8 digits in length. Please remember, that SIM card will lock after 3 attempts with incorrect PIN code!
apn	no	-	Fill if custom APN name is required by your operator (to get public IP for example). If left empty Android APN database will be used to find proper to your operator.
authentication	no	none	none - chose if no additional authentication scheme is required by your operator. pap - PAP authentication scheme will be used. Username and password must be filled in. chap - CHAP authentication scheme will be used. Username and password must be fill in.
username	no	-	Username for PAP or CHAP authentication.
password	no	-	Password matching username for PAP or CHAP authentication.

Husarnet

Option	Required	Default value	Description / valid values
hostname	yes	-	Desired hostname in your Husarnet network. Should be unique.
join_code	yes	-	Join code to your Husarnet network. More info how to obtain it is available here

Example config files

Example 1 - single WiFi client and connecting to Husarnet

{
    "husarnet":{
        "hostname":"your_desired_hostname",
        "join_code":"your_join_code"
    },
    "wifi_client":[

        {
            "radio":"0",
            "ssid":"SSID_of_your_network",
            "password":"password_to_your_network",
            "encryption":"psk2"
        }

    ]
}

Example 2 - two WiFi clients and using different GNSS constellations

{
    
    "wifi_client":[

        {
            "radio":"0",
            "ssid":"SSID_of_your_network",
            "password":"password_to_your_network",
            "encryption":"psk2"
        },
        {
            "radio":"0",
            "ssid":"SSID_of_your_second_network",
            "password":"password_to_your_second_network",
            "encryption":"psk2"
        }


    ],

    "gnss":{
        "galileo":"1",
        "glosnass":"0"
    }

}

Example 3 - using cellular network with dual SIM, SIM 1 with custom APN and CHAP authorization, SIM 2 with pin setting. Changing password of access point

{
    
    "cellular":[

        {
            "sim":"0",
            "enable":"1",
            "apn":"custom_apn",
            "authentication":"chap",
            "username":"your_username",
            "password":"your_password"
        },
        {
            "sim":"1",
            "enable":"1",
            "pin":"0000"
        }


    ],

    "wifi_ap":{
        "encryption":"psk2",
        "password":"new_password"
