AREDN Offline Map Submit Tool Updated
Darryl K5DLQ developed a command line tool that allows operators to submit nodes to the AREDN map without requiring the node itself to have internet access (direct or via Mesh Gateway).
It has been updated so that OMS.exe version 0.9 updated to point to arednmesh.org
This application runs on Windows.
To use it:
- Downloads the AREDN Offline Map Submit (OMS) tool from here: http://bit.ly/arednomstool
- Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your PC (no installation required)
- Ensure that your PC is connected to a node as a LAN device.
- Ensure that the node is connected to a VLAN capable switch that is configured with VLAN1 (WAN) access to the internet. (OR, use an AirRouter that is connected to the internet)
- Open a command prompt in Windows
- Run the following command from the folder that you extracted the OMS tool into: oms.exe
- OPTIONALLY: you can run: oms.exe -preview (This will show you which nodes would submit their data WITHOUT actually sending it to the AREDN data server)
Enjoy!
