The indoor domain (indoor.cosmos-lab.org) is the secondary large ORBIT-heritage testbed at WINLAB: a set of radio nodes and supporting devices used for experiments that need more spatial spread than a sandbox but less scale than the main grid.
Renamed 2026. This domain was previously
outdoor.orbit-lab.org. The old name had become a misnomer — the rig is housed indoors — so it was renamed toindoor.cosmos-lab.org. Older pages, scripts and images may still refer to it as "outdoor".
Reserve indoor.cosmos-lab.org in the scheduler (up to 4 hours) and work from console.indoor.cosmos-lab.org.
Nodes are addressed by column group:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
1-x |
Fixed nodes (node1-1 … node1-11) |
2-x |
Mobile nodes (node2-2 … node2-10) |
4-x |
Phones and other non-standard devices (node4-1 … node4-6) |
5-x |
Additional device group (node5-1) |
Per the live inventory there are 26 resources in the domain. The historical 3-x group (laptops and netbooks) has been retired — that hardware no longer exists.
For the authoritative, current list — including each node's radios, chassis manager and control address — query the inventory directly:
curl -s "http://am-rt1.cosmos-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=*.indoor.cosmos-lab.org"
or from the console:
omf stat -t all --summary
ssh <user>@console.indoor.cosmos-lab.org
omf load -t node1-1,node1-2 -i baseline.ndz
omf tell on -t node1-1,node1-2
