The Fon heartbeat

This is the way to simulate the fon heartbeat, so that the LaFonera with dd-wrt is shown as active on the fon maps.

It is based on the work of freddy (http://fon.freddy.eu.org), futejia (http://futejia.blogspot.com) and krikkit (http://www.krikkit.net)

At first you have to register your LaFonera on www.fon.com

If you have done this successfully there are two ways you can enable it on maps.fon.com.

Fast and simple

This is the most easy way (This guide is also available on http://www.wildblue.de/fonera/heartbeat/howto). It is for simply putting your LaFonera on maps.fon.com without any need to set up your own WEBserver / FTPserver.

You can verify the md5 hashes with the linux-command "md5sum simthefon_2.0.x"

Feel free to ask me for an update of the code.

1. Open the web-based configuration on your DD-WRT-Fonera (e.g. 192.168.1.1)
2. Go to the "Administration" section, then to "Commands" (German: "Diagnose")
3. paste the follwing commands and select "Save Startup" (German: "Startup speichern")

There are no different versions for sending fon.com the heartbeat from your LaFonera. If you wish to add features, let me know.

I will publish an updated version of the code sending LaFonera's heartbeat in the next days. (2007-10-04).

Inspired by Pepsimax2k's modifications of freddys code, i will reduce the number of files downloaded but not reduce any functionality like he did.

You can rewiew Pepsimax2k's code if you want to help developing here.
