CMU Wireless

To set up the Naos to connect to the CMU Andrew wireless, please do the following:

Registering the Nao on the CMU wireless
Note: This step should already be done, so check with Som to be sure!


 * 1) Register the Nao's MAC address at
 * 2) Give the Nao a unique DNS name, such as nao-zeus.wv.cc.cmu.edu
 * 3) Contact Andrew Computing (help -at- andrew /dot/ cmu /dot/ edu) to get static IPs for the robots, and remove the bandwidth limit

Getting the Nao to connect automatically to the CMU wireless
The Nao's Web Interface allows setting up of the wireless lan settings. However, the CMU wireless does not have any security, and the Web Interface does not always handle that properly.

So, after setting up the wireless settings, reboot the robot to see if it obtains an IP address.

Connecting to the Nao initially
The LAN port on the Nao typically uses DHCP, so to connect to the robot, connect it to a router with a DHCP server (for example, the wireless router in the lab), and then hit the Nao's chest button once for it to announce its IP address.

Afterwards, you should be able to ssh or use the Web Interface to configure the robot.

Finding out the Nao's MAC address

 * 1) ssh into the robot
 * 2) type ifconfig
 * 3) the MAC address is listed under wlan0, in the HWaddr field. It is of the form ##:##:##:##:##:##.
