Hi Jussi,

Please continue the conversation on the mailing list as it can be useful 
for other users and you may also have answer from them.

The installation process is quite independent from the presence or not 
of management interfaces.
For each case, you need to install the opensand meta-package on each 
host and the opensand-manager meta-package where you need a manager, 
usually this is the satellite.
The management interfaces can only influence the network on which 
management data will be transmitted (data from daemons to manager). If 
there is no such interfaces, these data will transit on the emulation 
network and, except if you need to transmit high traffic rates, this is 
totally acceptable.

To use the management interface you need to choose the correct interface 
for service publishing when configuring the daemons and the collector 
(the collector is not installed with the meta-package, you need to 
install it manually, the package name is opensand-collector. You can 
install it on the host you want but usually we install it on the same 
host that the manager. You need the collector if you want to use 
statistics). You can reconfigure the packages using "dpkg-reconfigure 
opensand-daemon" and "dpkg-reconfigure opensand-collector" as root.

When choosing the the interface for service publishing, the manager, 
daemons and collector will detect each other on this specific network 
and transmit management data on it.

Regards,
