WiFi Card Calibration

As an first and maybe last important discovery in ORBIT testbed, some (if not most) WiFi cards behaved strangely. Therefore, it is really important to identify those bad cards.

Calibration Procedure

1. Pick up one node from the grid and take it down from the shelf
2. load baseline-calibration.ndz image to the node
3. Connecting RF cable to one of the card
4. ssh to console.grid
5. ./caliber.pl [mac-addr]
6. check the calibration_central database in idb1.
7. Do above procedures for another card
