Setup Guide
This guide will walk you through setting up your Anyone Hardware Relay using either a wireless or wired connection to access the internet. Let's #RelayUp!
1. Powering up the Device
Begin by connecting the power cable to a suitable power outlet with minimum 15W at (5V 3A) and plug the supplied USB-C connector into the rear of the Relay.
The Relay will boot up, and you will see green lights rotating.
2. Wait for the Device to start
Once started, it will display a steady red light.
If the all lights of the Relay are pulsing in Red as shown below, ensure that you are using a power outlet with minimum 15W at (5V 3A), or the Relay will not function properly!
3. Enabling the WiFi Pairing mode
Press and hold the blue physical button on the side of the device for 3 seconds and release it to activate WiFi pairing. The above part of the lights will pulse blue when WiFi is enabled.
4. Connect to the Relays WiFi SSID
You can now connect to the Relay via WiFi to proceed with the setup, scan for nearby devices, connect to relayup and follow the instructions on your device to proceed..
Use the following credentials:
SSID: relayup
Password (PSK): ianon.io
5. Access the Setup Wizard
If the website doesn't open automatically in your browser, navigate to http://relayup.home, or via the IP, http://10.42.0.1
Read and Agree to accept the Terms of Service if you wish to proceed.
6. Authenticate to proceed with the setup
Log in with the default credentials and proceed following the instructions.
Default password: admin
7. Configure the cabled Network Interface (Ethernet)
Connect an Ethernet cable to the ethernet port of the device and ensure that the option "Enabled" is selected if you prefer a wired connection when it's connected.
If you prefer a WiFi connection, you can still leave the option as "Enabled" and make sure that No ethernet cable is inserted into the device, as this will prioritize the Ethernet connection over the WiFi connection. Proceed to the Next step..
8. (Optional) Configure the Wireless Network Interface (WiFi)
Input your router's WiFi details if you prefer connecting the Relay to your personal Router using a wireless connection to access the Internet. Mind that SSID and Password is case sensitive!
Note:
The first devices, that were picked up at ETHDenver, are running a development and testing software that contains a bug in the password field to only accept letters and numbers. The shipped devices have received a fix for this issue. An update to version 1.3.2 can be found here. Allowed characters are: [a-zA-Z0-9] and no spaces.
9. Contact Information
Enter the preferred Nickname and E-mail address in your Relay Contact Information. The email address must be Valid for contact purposes.
Nickname only accepts between 1-19 characters, only [a-zA-Z0-9] and no spaces. It is recommended not to use a personal email address, instead create a new address for the purpose.
10. Recognition Rewards
Enter your Ethereum Wallet address to be able to register for rewards in the Rewards Program. Choose Next to skip this step if you don't want to enter a personal wallet address.
11. Default Relay Settings
This information does not need to be changed unless necessary. The default binary running the Anon Relay Software is bin/anon and the API Call Location is set automatically by the management application.
The port can be changed to suite your needs if the default 9001 is already being used by another device on the same network to prevent routing conflicts.
12. Complete the Setup
The setup is now finished, and the Relay will restart automatically.
Good job!
Check Light indicators for Connectivity
Depending on whether a wired Ethernet or a wireless WiFi connection was selected in the previous steps, one of the lights will turn green shown physically on the device and in the control panel.
Next step: Configure your Personal Network Router
To allow traffic to reach your device you will need to create a Port Forwarding Rule in your network router to ensure the Relay's reachability on the Anon network.
Connect to the Relay Control Panel (RCP)
From a device connected to the same network as the Relay, browse to http://relayup.local and log in using the following Credentials:
Username:
relayupPassword:
admin
If the DNS name doesn't resolve to show the SCP login screen in your browser: See Relay Management for help finding the LAN IP of your device.
Reachability and Bandwidth Self-Tests
On the 'Home' page, under the 'Network' section, check for the "Reachability" status indicated with "VPN OR-Port [status]."
The Reachability and Bandwidth self-tests take a few minutes to perform. Check the logs in the control panel for more details on the process.
Reachability is Confirmed!
Once the "Reachability" status is 'OK', all lights on the Relay will start pulsing in the Anon blue color, indicating a successful setup.
Congratulations! Your relay is now ready to provide bandwidth to the Anon Network, and with some additional steps, enhance the privacy in your daily Internet use, and receive contribution rewards!
