Quick Start Guide for x86 FT
4.3 Use Case 3: Anonymous Open Wireless Network that Uses a
Wired Network Connection for Internet Access
In this use case, the x86 FT establishes an open wireless network. Anonymous wireless
clients can connect to the x86 FT to gain internet access. The x86 FT uses the wired
interface for internet connectivity. In this case, the x86 FT operates in “router” mode
(see 4.4 for a brief discussion of bridge vs. router operation). Operation is as follows:
1. Login to the laptop as “ftuser”. Default password for ftuser is “squid123!” (change
the password at your discretion).
2. Remove any PCMCIA and/or Express Cards
3. Insert the Ubiquiti SR71X Express Card
4. Connect and configure internet access for the wired interface. For a GUI to help
with this, select System -> Administration -> Network. Then double-click the
wired interface entry (typically “eth0”). Deselect the “Controlled by Network
Manager” option. To use DHCP (the most common case), select “Automatically
obtain IP address settings with DHCP” and select “Automatically obtain DNS
information from provider”. Click “OK” and then click the green “Activate” button.
Test the internet connection by opening a browser and navigating to a web site.
5. Open a terminal (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal), navigate to the
~ftuser/bin directory:
cd ~ftuser/bin
6. Edit the “repeater.properties” file:
gedit ~ftuser/bin/repeater.properties &
Set the “repeater_mode” field to “router”, the “wifi_client_interface” field to “eth0”
(or whatever the wireless interface name is), and the “beacon_address” field to
the desired beacon IP address or domain name. For example:
repeater_mode=router
wifi_client_interface=eth0
beacon_address=my.server.com
NOTE: in repeater.properties, any line starting with a ‘#’ character is ignored (i.e.
it is a comment line).
