Connect to a Ubiquity wireless Nanostation easily.

This is how I get the IP information from a Ubiquity wireless Nanostation.

XM.v5.5.3# ifconfig br0
br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr DC:9F:DB:42:59:2B
          inet addr:192.168.1.20  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::de9f:dbff:fe42:592b/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING ALLMULTI MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:921 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:501 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:158229 (154.5 KiB)  TX bytes:198834 (194.1 KiB)

I typed ssh [email protected] -p 22 in Cygwin and this allowed me to access the Nanostation for easy command-line access.

This is how I am getting the networking information from the Nanostation.

XM.v5.5.3# netstat
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.1.20:ssh ::ffff:192.168.1.64:53626 ESTABLISHED
Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers)
Proto RefCnt Flags       Type       State         I-Node Path

unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED       1052

And I am pinging the connected laptop from the Nanostation.

XM.v5.5.3# ping 192.168.1.64
PING 192.168.1.64 (192.168.1.64): 56 data bytes

This is how easy it is to connect to a Nanostation and get networking information.
