First steps with Awacino
Francesca shows how to test Awacino in a few minutes: two devices, two networks, one beam - and from her phone on mobile data she reaches the Raspberry Pi on her desk. Then test it yourself and earn an extra slot.
Step by step
Step 1Any device
Use any two devices: a laptop, a tablet, a phone or a Raspberry Pi. Awacino is in the app stores for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android - the download page has every platform.
Step 2Two different networks
For the test, the two devices must be in different networks. Easiest: the laptop on your Wi-Fi, the phone on mobile data with Wi-Fi switched off.
Step 3Sign in on the laptop
Open Awacino and sign in. The laptop appears under My devices. There are two ways to link a second device: sign in on it with the same account and tap Connect - or send it a Beam-in code.
Step 4Connect from the phone
On the phone, sign in with the same account, open Beam, My devices, and tap Connect on the laptop. Choose Network and "Beam this device into the laptop's network".
Step 5Beam into network
Keep "Network only" and tap Beam into network. Awacino finds the direct path - end-to-end encrypted, with no router settings.
Step 6Beam out active
The phone now has a SituIP, an address inside the laptop's home network. The tile shows Beam out active.
Step 7SSH to the Raspberry Pi
From mobile data, Francesca opens SSH to the Raspberry Pi on her desk at its usual home address - the same way she reaches every router, NAS or printer in that network.
