eyeBurst: signal monitoring for Mac, Linux & Windows

[james_turton]

Hi All

I have put together yet another iBurst connection monitoring utility because neither of the existing two I know of would run on my Mac. This application is written in Java / Swing and so should also be usable on Linux, Windows and other platforms. The utility only works with UTDs that are connected via ethernet (with the usual network config rigmarole) and requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 in order to run. There is a download with a brief readme and a couple of screenshots available at the link below.

Hope it helps
James

can mods sticky this?

nice one james_turton.

Nice one James! Well thought out and user friendly. Starts up 100% on WinXP pro.

Isn't that contradicting the title?

BTW, looked at the screenshots...do you got all the towers listed? Just wondering coz if you were in kyalami, then surely the sunninghill tower would've shown?

[james_turton]

Thanks

The reason I labeled the thread "... for non-Windows users" is because they are the people who I imagined would be most interested in this application, given what already exists for Windows. But if Windows users are also interested then that is great and perhaps the thread should be renamed to "monitoring in Java" or something like that. Can a moderator do this? In this case, I would hope that eyeBurst can grow a feature set that compliments the features of the existing Windows apps rather than overlaps with them so that we don't duplicate all of our efforts, but this is in the hands of whoever chooses to develop on the project

I use iBurst in Sunninghill but the only tower that I have ever seen with any kind of usable strength has been Kyalami, not just in eyeBurst but also with telnet.

Any chance of getting a PCMCIA / usb version sometime?

how does one install / run it?

Linux btw

Ok find out how to install it. From the readme file I make it it's not possible to run the program behind a router?

[LandyMan]

Thanks for that james. Now, if someone out there can just design it so I can use the program while my UTD is connected to a router ...

[Ekhaatvensters]

Noones been able to get the router thing right before.

Whats the problem? Isnt the modem accesable through the router becasue of.. well I dont really know.. firewall, how theses prgrams work?

[LandyMan]

I have no idea who has tried what, but my logic tells me it has to do with the fact that the router is most probably on a different subnet than the default UTD IP address, and this is where the problem comes in.

It would be a major coup if someone could crack this problem. It is a real pain having to reroute the modem whenever I want to check the connection.

Another coup would be ability to update firmware via ethernet. Especially for when your modem is tucked away in a remote location.

Overlooking this small wish-list, however, kudos to seburn, crash, and james turton for sharing their work with us.

hehehe, I have never used any of the programs to check my connection, as I am too lazy to walk out my study, pick up the UTD and plug it into my notebook :-)

Great stuff! Can't wait to try it out, its in Java, so at least I might have a clue about how it works!

Router's WAN IP has to be 192.168.250.x (except .10)
