Admin login
Enter this node's admin password (the same one used for remote CLI admin).

Step 1 · WiFi
Connect this node to your WiFi network so it can reach the MQTT servers.
Leave blank for an open network. 2.4 GHz networks only.
Shown on the mesh and in MQTT status messages.
Step 2 · Radio
Nodes only hear each other on identical radio settings. Pick the preset your local mesh uses.
Maximum legal power varies by region — check local rules.
Need settings that aren't listed? Choose Keep current settings, finish setup, then fine-tune in the Advanced editor.
Step 3 · MQTT
How this observer identifies itself in published status/packet messages. Informational only — not used for topics or authentication. Prefilled with the node name.
Nearest airport code, e.g. DEN. Used in topic paths.
Optional — 64-char hex public key of your companion node. Included in auth JWTs so services that support it can let you claim this node.
Optional — also included in auth JWTs for claiming this node on some services.

Step 4 · Review & save
Saving reboots the node into normal operation. To keep the page available later, run set webui on; use get webui to see its address.
Node
LoRa radio
Frequency, bandwidth, SF and CR must match your mesh exactly — a wrong value takes this node off the air until fixed over serial.

RepeatForward mesh traffic. Off = listen-only (still observes and publishes).
0 = off
0 = off, else 3–168
Flooding & loops
Hop limits for flood traffic this node forwards. Lower values contain noisy neighbours; too low takes parts of the mesh out of reach.
0–64. Default 64.
0–64. Default 8.
Applies to packets with no region scope. 0–64.
Drops flood packets that already carry this node's hash. Stricter = fewer repeats tolerated before dropping.
Identity
How this observer identifies itself in published messages; informational only. Blank = node name.
64-char hex public key of the owner's companion node (optional).
Publishing
This node only ever uploads to MQTT — nothing from a broker is injected into the mesh.

WiFi connection
Changing WiFi restarts the connection — this page will drop and the node reappears on the new network. Find its new IP from your router or the serial console.
