Step 1: Download and install LinkSmart
- Download and install LinkSmart 2.1 binaries see Linksmart Sourceforge Wiki.
- Don’t forget the security files.
- Start LinkSmart by running run_linksmart.bat or run_linksmart.sh depending on your OS.
Step 2: Configure the LinkSmart node
- Open a browser with the address http://127.0.0.1:8082/LinkSmartStatus
This will display the LinkSmart status page for the local node:
- Click on the “LinkSmart Configurator” tab. This will display the configuration page
- Click on network to configure the LinkSmart node.
- Change the description of the Network Manager Instance, pick a description that really describes the node, for instance. NetworkManager:CNet_TestNode.
- Press the “Update Configuration” button.
Step 3: Join the the public LinkSmart development network.
- Click on the network.backbone.jxta configuration section:
- Change the value of “URI of SuperNode via HTTP” to http://212.214.80.136:9100
Scroll further down on the page:
- Change the value of “URI of SuperNode via TCP” to tcp://212.214.80.136:9101
- Press the “Update Configuration” button.
Now you should have joined the LinkSmart development network
Step 4: Check that you are part of the LinkSmart Developer network
You should now find more network managers LinkSmart in http://1270.0.1:8082/LinkSmartStatus (It can take some time before they appear)
- Click on the “Network Managers only” button to only display active network managers and you should find some more network managers there.
Step 5: You are done!
Troubleshooting:
- If you do not see any other nodes after a minute or two: Double check the java security files.
- If you experience that the LinkSmart network is not stable, i.e. sometimes you see all the nodes and sometimes you do not see any you can try the following:
- Stop LinkSmart
- Delete the eu.linksmart.network.backbone folder in the linksmart subfolder in your LinkSmart installation.
- Restart linksmart
