Can you guys give out a step-by-step Web-Interface video ?
By reading through the usage page, unfortunately, it's still VERY HARD to form clear and coherent connections between the steps. And most of them are totally ambiguous and baffling. BC every step, yes, I mean it !! EVERY STEP, you guys just mentioned it in a TOO SIMPLE way. But when ppl try to carry them out, they face too many options. People don't know how exactly to configure it out what the heck is this referred to, why should do this in this way instead of the other way, the upload folder is where I should upload the folder or where the system will store the configurations, how to deal with it when nothing error was prompted and it just show nothing at all, etc. You guys just need to give an example, the most HELLO-WORLD simple example to show that the system can run ON THE EARTH. In current case, you guys seem to give so many documentation, but they cannot refer to the POINTS !! Because the satellite communication system is so much a complicated system. The wiki is good but not enough !! The usage page is good but not enough !! We need more than detailed of a manual !! a video !! a set of runnable VMs or something !! Please !! Folks are in desperate need of this in order to promote this fantastic satellite project !!
I recommend using opensand (not opensand-network) and utilizing the templates from the opensand-cli folder (remember to edit the names of the network interfaces in the "Makefile" file to match the network interfaces in your VMs). I believe there was a mistake in one of the configuration files (there's an issue related to the opensand_cli ethernet xml issues #7).
Additionally, I checked your other issue, opensand-cli/opensand-network not working properly #10. I think adding these lines in .../gw/profile.xml (line 4, before
<control_plane>
<disable_control_plane>false</disable_control_plane>
</control_plane>
After doing that, you should be good to go. You can also try adding these lines in /gw/infraestructure.xml (line 17, before <entity_st>):
<entity_gw_net_acc>
</entity_gw_net_acc>
<entity_gw_phy>
</entity_gw_phy>
I'm no expert in opensand, but I think those steps may help. If they don't, leave me an email, and I can show you how I made it work :)
