GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 "Opal"
FieldNOC's current pod workflow is built around the GL-SFT1200. Other OpenWrt devices may work if they expose the same pod API, but the reference target is the supported path.
FieldNOC Pod
A small network probe for the jobs phones cannot do alone.
The reference pod is a GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 "Opal" travel router. FieldNOC can deploy the pod agent over SSH or flash a compatible FieldNOC image, then read diagnostics from the pod API on your local network.
The pod is not included
FieldNOC Pro unlocks app features that communicate with the pod. It does not include, sell, ship, or warranty the physical GL.iNet hardware.
No cloud required
The app talks to the pod over the local network, typically at http://192.168.8.1:8080 after setup.
Pod-assisted tools
These workflows are built for jobs where mobile operating systems do not expose the low-level network data directly.
Switch Port
LLDP/CDP switch and port details, VLAN, PoE, and management IP context.
Wi-Fi Survey
All-band AP survey through the pod, including iPhone workflows.
Packet Capture
Short WAN-side captures with downloadable PCAP files.
VLAN Detector
Native/tagged VLAN hints from discovery and packet samples.
DHCP Inspector
Lease, gateway, DNS, domain, and raw pod WAN status.
Pod Health
API checks, storage, dependency, and capability status.
Port Locator Beacon
Generate traffic to identify the pod's switch port in CAM, ARP, or live views.
ARP / Neighbor Map
Read the pod's local neighbor table for IP/MAC visibility.
Pod Guide
The in-app setup guide is available without Pro so techs can understand the hardware path first.
