Quick Start Guide for x86 FT
6 Diagnostics
This section discusses how to diagnose issues with the x86 FT. Common sources
include:
• hardware not inserted properly - double check hardware insertion
• no/intermittent internet connectivity – adjust location/antennas
• incorrect beacon address – double check beacon address setting
• kismet.conf not configured with proper wireless interface – see operation use
case 1 of section 4.1 step 6.
The most useful diagnostic tool is the x86 FT log. If the x86 FT has been started with
the ftlauncher.sh GUI (use cases of sections 4.1 and 4.2), the log will display in the
“Repeater Configuration” GUI (shown in section 4.1 step 10). If the x86 FT has been
started with the repeater.sh script, the log will display in the terminal. The log can
always be displayed by opening a terminal (Applications -> System -> Terminal) and
issuing:
tail –f ~ftuser/bin/logs/repeater-<DATE>.log
For more serious diagnostics, the debug x86 FT software must be installed. Follow the
instructions of section 3, but at the “install.sh” command of step 6, run
“./install.sh –d” instead. Then, edit the repeater.properties file. Finally, run the
x86 FT as you had prior. The log will now display significantly more diagnostic
information.
If the wireless hardware seems to be unresponsive, the best option is to simply reboot.
