Several days ago my friend called me and he asking me about EasyHotspot. The conversation went through until he told me there’s a Villa/Hotel interested to implement the EasyHotspot System. I said “sure, thats good ..” and then he asked me what devices needed to build the hotspot. After he knows the EasyHotspot requirements then he decide when to buy and implement the system.

Saturday (4 4 2008 ) is the D day … First, we bought the devices, and here they are :

  • 1 PC (Celeron 3 Ghz, 512 Mb, 80 GB) , too much for EasyHotspot i think :D
  • 2 pcs of Linksys WAP54 G
  • 1 box of Tofu and Beef Roll (umm yummy …. )

After we have those devices, the best part took the place . Jakarta - Pucak took 3 hrs , 1.5 hrs trip, 0.5 hrs traffic jam, 1 hrs @ Cimory Resto :D .. Cimory Resto have a nice landscape view and also their fresh milk is good !
menu Fresh Milk Yum Yum Yum Resto !

About 700 hrs we arrived at the Hotel. The air is quite cool and fresh … what a relief …
Since Bom2 needs to get back home as soon as possible, so we need to finish the job fast and start earlier …
Before we start to workin, here’s the scenario :
We need to connect 2 main sites, Office/Lobby and The Puri Kenanga area. We decided to use WDS mode for this scenario.
Aryanti Hotspot Area

This is the “history” of working guys (eastimated time):

  • unload the devices - 15 min
  • Bom-Bom Sponsored by Linksys This is called Father Board

  • installing EasyHotspot - 30 min
  • Install Finished !

  • patching EasyHotspot (ouch!) - 2 min
  • configuring the APs (it could be faster if you RTFM , LOL!) - 20 min
  • testing the system - 5 min
  • gimme more 5 minutes Voucher please !!

  • testing the APs range - 10 min
  • placing the server and APs at the proper place - 20 min
  • Meet the Aryati Hotel - Villa Manager Complete... so far ...

total : 1 hr and 42 minutes

So is everything done ? ummm not yet! We haven’t train the employees yet and i think we need to add this new features :

  • no simultaneous use mode
  • user current status
  • postpaid BW management
  • logoff url

Maybe on the next saturday we could go to Cimory again ! hueheueuheu …
Now we need to go home fast !
damn, i missed the top speed !

Thanks to ITS for your contribution to EasyHotspot :)

Stayros Tzetzailidis told me that his user cant be automaticaly disconnected when they reached their limit. And i confirmed that bugs … To avaoid it simply remove the comments (”#”) from freeradius conf. Open /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf and find ‘#noresetcounter’ and ‘#octetslimit’ in authorize section or you can download the patch and then replace the /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf. Sorry for this bugs.

Thanks to Stefano M. for his donation … its the first donation for EasyHotspot :)

There’s a lot of question about EasyHotspot Documentation since the first time it released. I would like to tell you guys that unfortunately theres no documentation YET except the README file. There’s a lot of things to be done right now especially my thesis. I will make a documentation as soon as possible. BUT if you want to help me to make EasyHotspot documentation ill be happy and many people out there :)

If you have any question about it, please dont hesitate to contact me by Email, YM!, or even comments ;)

Thanks
