+== Loading a Default Image ==
+
+Much like it is recommended to reset the base station to default settings, it is also recommended to load up a "clean" disk image. This helps avoid conflicts with previous user settings. It can also save time manually setting up frequently-used properties. 
+
+{{{
+omf-5.3 load -i wmx-tutorial.ndz -t node1-1.sb4.orbit-lab.org,node1-4.sb4.orbit-lab.org
+}}}
+
+This process may take a few minutes. When it is complete, confirm the installation by SSH'ing into the nodes and checking that the settings loaded correctly. 
+
+=== Manually Confirming Settings ===
+
+{{{
+ssh root@node1-1
+}}}
+
+Check that the WiMAX drivers loaded correctly:
+
+{{{
+lsmod
+lsmod | grep i2400m_usb
+}}}
+
+If they didn't, load them:
+
+{{{
+modprobe i2400m_usb
+}}}
+
+=== Connect to the WiMAX Network ===
+
+Next, use the WiMAX Configuration Utility (''wimaxcu'') to connect to the WiMAX network:
+
+{{{
+wimaxcu ron
+wimaxcu connect network 51
+}}}
+
+=== Assign an IP Address ===
+
+By this point, the drivers are loaded, and the network is connected. However, the WiMAX card hasn't been given an IP address yet. Below is the recommended IP address for node 1 on sandbox 4. (Alternate IP addresses are allowed, but require additional configuration at other stages of an experiment.)
+
+{{{
+ifconfig
+ifconfig wmx0 10.41.14.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
+ifconfig
+}}}
+
+Note that the ''wmx0'' network card now has an IP address.
+
+== Testing Connection ==
+
+Repeat the previous steps for other nodes. To test the connection between two nodes, use the ''ping'' utility, which sends packets at an IP address and checks for confirmation of receipt. Assuming that nodes 1 and 4 have already been connected:
+
+{{{
+ssh root@node1-1
+ping 10.41.14.4
+}}}
