Configuration

Before the FMS can be initialized, the system must be configured. This step must be completed after the FMS system software has been installed, since it must be completed from the FMS Workstation.

Prior to completing this step, obtain a CSV containing your team's information. The information should be in the following format:

Number,Name,Hub,Table

The headers should be as shown above. The FMS will parse this file to construct a record for each team. To perform initial configuration, run the configuration wizard by invoking:

$ gizmo fms setup wizard

You will be asked a series of questions.

? Specify teams CSV file

This question prompts for the CSV containing your team information as listed above. Either type the path to this file or press tab to show files in the current directory.

? Loaded 21 teams, does this look right?

The wizard will parse the file you provided and tell you how many teams were in it. If the number looks okay, answer yes, otherwise answer no to exit the wizard. If you need to exit the wizard, check that the file is not malformed.

? Select the number of fields present

Select between 1, 2, or 3 fields. If you need to run more than 3 fields concurrently, contact the Gizmo team to receive further instructions on how to configure this larger number of fields and recommended hardware for hosting very large events.

? Input the MAC address for ether1 for field 1 (label on the bottom)

Locate the Field Box that you will use for each field prompted. On the bottom of the device there is a label containing various information. Locate the line beginning with E01: which will be followed by a MAC address. Input the sequence of 12 hexadecimal characters exactly as printed, including the colons. This field is case-insensitive.

? Read-only user password (username: gizmo-ro)

In the unlikely event you need to log into the interface on the field network directly this username will be available to you on the Scoring Box and all Field Boxes. The generated password is a good mix of security and ease of use, so unless you have a need to change it, accept the default.

? Make infrastructure network visible

The infrastructure network is the network that operates on the 5Ghz radio and is available for you to connect tablets, projectors, and other assorted devices to. It operates independent of any robot channels. In general making the network will improve ease of use, and making it invisible does not improve security meaningfully.

The primary advantage of making the network invisible is to discourage people from asking for access to it, and to prevent clutter from showing up in WiFi menus.

? Infrastructure network SSID gizmo

This is the SSID of the infrastructure network described above. You can freely change this to any value you wish as it is not used internally by any of the FMS components.

? Infrastructure network PSK

A password will be automatically generated for the infrastructure network, though you can change it to any value you desire. Note that the password will not be obscured in this interface.

? MAC Address of the FMS

The FMS has a pinned address pre-allocated for it by the Scoring Box DHCP server. In order to pin this address, the MAC address must be known. This option will be pre-populated with the correct value when running the wizard from the FMS Workstation. Do not change this value unless you are using another machine to perform this configuration and will subsequently transfer files to the Workstation (very advanced use case).

? Configure really advanced network features

Answer no to this question unless you have received specific instructions otherwise from a member of the Gizmo development team.
