Register a repeater that's already configured and on the mesh, then control it remotely through a KISS modem over the air. You'll grant MeshTender admin yourself first. This is the usual choice.
Add existing →Connect a freshly-flashed repeater over USB serial and let MeshTender generate and run the whole setup — identity, radio, region, name, and the admin grant — straight down the wire. Best for a repeater that isn't on the network yet.
Set up over USB →MeshTender controls repeaters through a single MeshTender identity. Before it can do anything with your repeater, that identity must be granted admin access (permission level 3) on the device. How does this work? →
MeshTender reads this repeater's coordinates by running get lat / get lon through a
connected modem, when someone permitted to run those commands asks for them with “Fetch location” in the
console. Both sends are recorded in this repeater's command log, naming who asked — they're ordinary
commands, not something the site does invisibly. The coordinates place the repeater on the map and tailor
its region configuration. You stay in control: you decide who may run those commands, and you
can keep the repeater off the public map.
