I am trying to find out the amazon IoT button's mac address to connect it with my working place network. But I do not know the process about how to get it. Could somebody give me the instruction or any helpful link about this matter? Thanks in advance.
Okay, it was actually not a difficult task. At first, I need to connect to a network. When it will be connected, my Netgear wifi router is showing me that it is connected to the network. And from the router, it is easy to get the mac address for my button.

I am setting up my AWS DeepLens and all the steps have been successful until I try to connect to my home WiFi. How do I fix this issue?
I created a hotspot on my phone to test against a different network and this connection was successful. Then, I switched back to my home WiFi and it connected successfully.
This section of the troubleshooting guide will also fix the problem.
We found that the AWS DeepLens only has one network adapter which it uses both for its own hotspot and connecting to the network. If you are connected to it via any other means (e.g. via a phone) it will throw a hissy and start dropping the connection, repeatedly and seemingly randomly.
When we connected a monitor directly we then found it was stuck on a viewable password prompt, hence why it was not connecting to our network.
Best method by far (and from our experience, only usable option) is to connect directly to the device so you can see what it is doing. To do this you need USB keyboard and mouse, and a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable to hook up a monitor. This will free up the network card to do only one thing.
When connecting please note that the default admin password on ours was "aws_cam". This does not seem to be noted anywhere in the documentation. This will change when you go through the setup process and sync it with your AWS account.
Repeat the process by inserting a pin in the hole at the back of DeepLens. Wait for a few seconds, the wifi indicator (the middle light) would blink and then you can connect with Deeplens wireless network. Then you can open http://deeplens.config where you can configure your home wifi and complete the setup.
I have an AWS IOT button that i'm trying to connect to the open wifi at my office. The problem is, our open "no-auth" wifi has one of those "terms of use" buttons you have to click in a browser before you are connected. Can the AWS IOT button get passed that?
Seems like it only works on wifi that is locked down vie SSA.
Anyone know a workaround?
Unfortunately the button doesn't support captive portal networks.
Normally we advise the network operator to whitelist the button's MAC
address, but I see you've already ruled that out.
One option you have is to use a travel router to bridge the captive
portal network to a non-captive portal network. These travel routers
are typically designed for hotel use, and so handle captive portal
networks well. You'll probably have to first connect to the
non-captive network with a phone or laptop to click agree, but then
all other devices on the network shouldn't see the login page
afterwards.
Note that this may be seen as circumventing the captive portal
network's usage or security policies, so please check with the network
operator.

discover the device's mac address
remove the device's power source
configure your laptop's wifi card to override its built-in MAC address and instead assume the IoT device's MAC address
sign on to the wireless network and accept terms with your laptop, spoofing the device's hardware address
return the laptop to normal configuration
power up the IoT device
PROFIT! :) ...at least until the portal's login timeout window expires.
I'm new to network programming in C++ and I'm writing a very simple app that is suppose to do a multicast.
From my research I see one of the first things I need to do is find out if my router supports multicast forwarding and multicast routing protocols.
My point of confusion is, I am connected to the internet via a mobile hotspot device, and I don't exactly know how to find out if it supports multicasting.
Does anyone know how I can go about finding out if I can indeed send multicasts with this type of wireless connection?
Thanks
I found that on a linux box (that supports ifconfig) you can use the ifconfig command to see if multicast is supported. eth0 for example will show Multicast along with some other information.
For windows in the command line:
netsh interface ip show joins
should tell you
I study in a university where all of us have an id/password combination to use the internet. Is it possible to connect Google Glass to such an Enterprise WPA 2 network? If yes, how? And if no, is there a solution for this?
It looks like you can't connect to WPA2 Enterprise as of yet with Glass. For now I'd submit a ticket to Google through their issue tracker if I were you. Glass Issue Tracker
EDIT: Because WPA2 connection isn't a developer issue you should contact the Glass team here instead: Glass Guide Team Support
The only way I was able to get this to work was to find a cheap router, connect it to the wired network, and then associate Glass with the router's network (which you have set up with WEP or WPA or nothing).
I have also used the "share my internet connection" feature in OS X to share an ethernet connection over AirPort.
...I hope someone chimes in with a better answer, but hopefully this might be enough to get you started?
For a quick test, you could turn on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot on your smart phone and connect that way. This can only be a temporary measure really, because you can't simultaneously connect to your University Wi-Fi so you would have to use your own data. Not a permanent solution, but OK if you want to do a quick test.
On the other hand, there does seem to be a Glass app you can install here as a work around.
Another alternative is to check if your University has a "guest" network, which is usually a standard connection (i.e. not Enterprise)
I use two WT12 bluegiga bluetooth modules. I need to transfer files between them via bluetooth in ssh. Has anyone tried doing something similar?
try to establish an IP network between them with PAN and then use scp.
I think this HOWTO can be a good start point.
