Talk:Enabling Login

Please provide feedback of your upgrade and patch experiences here .....

First patch attempt Followed the readme docs - obtained all the necessary files, got the 5 magic numbers! I'm utterly confused about what to do with Cygwin (which I've installed). Need some detailed advice on this. Thanks.

Cygwin provides some essential libraries that are used by the patchserver. Once installed, you should be able to open up a command shell (Start/Run 'cmd'), change directory to where you unpacked patchserv.exe (using cd), and run 'patchserv test.tar.bz2

PeterPan: I just install the cygwin envirement, run the patchserver und transfers the 'test.tar.bz2' Test patchfile to my IPdio. That seems to work. But I have not heart enough, to transfer the real patchfile 'Devel-00-01b-login_http.tar.bz2' because my IPdio is only 2 days old. I am not a Linux expert (I am a Windows developer) So what about the install-me script? Who will run it?

Unknown: I installed cygwin - wow! that ate up my disk space. Can you tell me what I can safely delete from Cygwin (if anything) and still get patchserver to run?

Can you give explicit telnet commands to enter to login and run the savespace. A definitive example would be useful (eg. open , etc). What is the server name to open? for example. Or is it the radio's IP address?

In your warning section, you mention you've trialed on a few radios. Can you list the radios which you've successfully tried? This may either encourage or scare the faint-hearted!

PeterPan: I think you only need the cygwin1.dll. To connect to the radio via telnet. You must start telnet in a cmd shell. Than type open and then type the IP-Address of your radio. For example open 192.168.0.10 or you type in telnet 192.168.0.10
