Swiss MeshCore Settings

Set it to whatever you want, just don't do anything insulting and be nice.

869.618 MHz - We are using the same frequency as pretty much the rest of Europe and the UK.

62.5 kHz - This is the default setting for pretty much all of Europe and the UK.

8 - This is the default setting for pretty much all of Europe and the UK.

8 - This is the default setting for pretty much all of Europe and the UK.

22 dBm - This is the default setting, no need to change anything manually here. Be aware that this may need to be adjusted if you are using any kind if amplifiers or antennas with high gains to stay in compliance with the EIRP.

1 - Is the recommendation by the MeshCore community as well as the default setting.

However, the legal limit for the Duty Cycle here in Europe on the 869.525 MHz frequency is 10%, which would technically require the AF to be set to 9. Since MeshCore is not sending a lot and we mostly see the Duty Cycle being less than 1% in reality, so keeping the AF set to 1 does not mean that we go over the duty cycle by definition.

To get from a 10% duty cycle to the Airtime factor this formula can be used duty_cycle = 100/(airtime_factor + 1).

We recommend to change the default admin password which is "password" to something only you know to avoid other users messing around with the settings of the MeshCore repeaters you manage.

We recommend to leave the guest password empty! This allows other users to read the basic statistics, telemetry and neighbours from the repeater without being able to change any settings.

There are two settings here for the repeaters to advertise themselves automatically, the Zero-Hop-Advert and the Flood-Advert.

Zero-Hop-Advert: 0 Minutes - Zero means no zero-hop adverts get sent. It's usually not needed since flood adverts already cover this.

Flood-Advert: 12 Hours - To keep the traffic on the mesh low, we recommend to not set this any lower.

0.0 Seconds - This is the currently proposed best setting. It's the default setting, no need to change it manually.

0.5 Seconds - This is the currently proposed best setting. It's the default setting, no need to change it manually.

It is important for MeshCore that the repeaters have the correct time set, if not you might see issues with advertising etc. The easiest way to do that is to use "Remote Management" from within the Android or iOS App with a Companion Node. For RAK based repeater nodes it is recommended to add the RTC module.

For repeaters we heavily recommend adding them to the official MeshCore Map. This can be done directly done via the MeshCore Android or iOS App.

MeshCore rooms servers can also be MeshCore repeaters at the same time. This is disabled by default, enable it if desired.

We recommend to change the default admin password which is "password" to something only you know to avoid other users messing around with the settings of the MeshCore room servers you manage.

The default guest password is "hello", if you want others to be able to post in the MeshCore rooms server leave it as it is. If you only want users to join with which you shared the password, change it accordingly.
