This guide explains how to configure MeshCore regions for repeaters participating in the Lincolnshire MeshCore Network.

Regions help organise MeshCore traffic geographically, allowing repeaters to participate in regional networks while reducing unnecessary message propagation.

1. Connect to Your Repeater

Connect to your MeshCore repeater using a compatible CLI interface.

2. Configure Your Regions

Enter the following commands one at a time, pressing Enter after each command and ensure you get an ok response returned in the CLI

region put lincolnshire
region default lincolnshire
region put yorkshire
region put eng-ne
region put northwest
region save

What Each Command Does

CommandDescription
region put lincolnshireAdds the Lincolnshire region
region default lincolnshiresets lincolnshire as the default
region put yorkshireAdds the Yorkshire region
region put eng-neAdds the North East England region
region put northwestAdds the North West England region
region saveSaves the region configuration

3. Verify Your Configuration

Once the regions have been saved, you can check your configuration using:

region list allowed

Check that the expected regions appear in the allowed list.

4. Additional Information

  • Region names should be entered exactly as shown.
  • Use lowercase letters for consistency.
  • Run region save after making changes.
  • Only configure regions appropriate to your repeater and its intended network participation.
  • Adding regions alone does not automatically block unscoped traffic or other regions.
