# Setting Up Nodes

## The mainframe (first computer)

1. Craft a computer + modem. Optionally attach a monitor.
2. Run:  wget run https://cc.28n.lol/i
3. Reboot. The first-boot wizard runs because no node.cfg exists.
4. Press a key within 8s, pick role "mainframe", give it a name and
   facility, accept or type shared cluster tokens.
5. It reboots into the desktop. Done — the ops screen is live.

## Every other computer

Two ways:

A) Remote adoption (recommended)
   - Install FactoryOS on the new computer, let it boot unclaimed.
   - On the main screen: NODES -> select the UNCLAIMED row -> ADOPT ->
     pick a role (switch, controller, console, navpad, ...). The node
     writes its cfg and reboots into the role.
   - CONFIGURE app edits name/facility/role/modules/rswitch outputs on
     any adopted node.

B) Same wizard as the mainframe — press a key during the 8s window and
   answer the prompts.

## Tokens

The wizard generates fresh tokens when the field is left blank. For a
cluster where machines must command each other, reuse the SAME token
(and admin token) on every node — type them in during setup or set them
via CONFIGURE. Adopted nodes inherit the mainframe's tokens
automatically.
