OpenWRT Linux Installation

Before attempting to install HyperPath on a device, you should setup an account, a HyperNet and a token as explained in the Quick Start Guide

Overview

On devices running OpenWRT Linux, HyperPath is installed as a /etc/init.d. It currently only supports Teltonika RUTx50 and was tested with Firmware version RUTX_R_00.07.11.3

Once you have setup a HyperNet and at least one token, HyperPath can be installed on OpenWRT-based distros via the token pop-up installation command as explained below

Step 1

Login to the HyperPath admin console and click on the HyperNets tab

Step 2

Click on the specific HyperNet that you setup previously

Step 3

Click on the computer icon on the specific token you want to use for the device

Step 4

The installation command will show in the pop-up. Make sure OpenWRT is selected in the Linux Distribution dropdown box.

Step 5

Connect to your openWRT device via SSH or a terminal and run the provided command. You should be able to see results similar to the picture below.

Step 6

If all has gone well, you should be able to run the following command and see similar output

hyperpath status

You should also be able to view the /etc/init.d status using the standard

/etc/init.d/status hyperpath

You can turn the service on and off using

/etc/init.d/hyperpath stop
/etc/init.d/hyperpath start

Step 7

After installation, HyperPath can be updated by removing and re-installing with the original command as shown below. We are working to make this more seamless in the future!

opkg remove hyperpath
<original token installation command>
