What I am trying to right now is understand if it is possible to make a Meraki mini
( meraki.com ) act in the following way :
( I don't know the proper nomenclature, and I apologize for that
... part of what I am trying to learn)
I want the Meraki to appear as a fixed IP address webserver to a device accessing it via wireless 802.11b/g.
Let's say I have an iPhone. I instruct the iPhone to log onto a wireless network ( provided by the Meraki )
with an SSID of "meraki". The security is WEP or WAP or ????. ( I don't care about the security aspect at present. That will come later. )
The iPhone connects wirelessly to the network. Now the iPhone is instructed to access either a local IP or Global IP www.xxx.yyy.zzz .
The IP www.xxx.yyy.zzz addresses the Meraki.
The Linux running on the Meraki directs this request to a Webserver running on the Meraki which offers up HTML created by a Ruby script or by a PERL script. The Webserver accesses the outside world using a LLSP ( low level serial port ) to a PSOC processor. The PSOC allows the webserver to control external devices and gather data. ( For example: in a car you could access car status, start the car, unlock the door, etc. ) I am comfortable with the PSOC part of the project. ( http://www.cypress.com/psoc )
The end result is that a user would see a webpage on the iPhone which would allow him/her/it to see status of the car and control aspects of the car. Same with hottubs, home environment, office building, etc.
I don't what kinds of Linux wireless extensions or configurations to look for to do this, if it can be done at all. How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance and in arrears
