HowTo Setup The NST System To Geolocate Data

Geolocation

We use the term "geolocate", "geolocating" and "geolocation" throughout this page when referring to the process of determining latitude and longitude coordinates associated with an IP address.

Quick Setup

There are many geolocation features available starting with the 2.13.0 release of the NST distribution. Unfortunately, a bit of setup is required in order to make use of these features. The NST WUI provides the "GeoLocation Tools & Management" page in order to simply this setup process.

Locate: "GeoLocation Tools & Management" Page

Once you NST system is booted and running, use a web browser to pull up the NST WUI using the URL of "https://IP_ADDRESS/" where IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your NST system. Alternatively, if you are on the NST system itself, you can run Firefox and it should automatically pull up the NST WUI for you. When prompted to login, use root and the master password which you previously set using the nstpasswd command.

From the menu bar on the main NST WUI page, select the "GeoLocation Tools & Management" page as shown below:
