ASTi Telestra MBV Quick Start Guide (Ver.2 Rev. C)

1.0. Introduction

The main goal of this document is to get your telestra up and running after removing it from the

box. Section 2.0 provides a step-by-step process to get your telestra running with RMS and the

ASTi provided model ﬁle. Section 3.0 provides an introduction of the Model Builder Visual

(MBV) development environment.

2.0. Installing and Starting a New Model

You have just received your brand new Telestra, unpacked it, plugged it in and turned on the

power. The Telestra ﬁnally ﬁnishes booting and you are presented with the “Welcome to the Won-

derful World of Telestra!” You've got your ASTi created model in one hand and your new telestra

sitting in front of you ready to go.

2.1. Setting up the Telestra onto a Network

First connect the Telestra to a network so you can access the Remote Management System (RMS)

pages. RMS is the web-based interface used to manage and interact with Telestra.

1. Connect the Telestra to a network using the

eth0

port.

Eth0

will try to obtain a network IP

address and subnet mask using a DHCP server. If the Telestra cannot contact a DHCP

server for eth0, it will assign a meaningless IP address of 0.0.0.0 to that interface.

2. Upon boot-up, the GNU GRUB screen will display three options, Embedded, Develop-

ment, and Recovery. Select Embedded for normal operation.

3. On the Telestra Welcome screen navigate to the Settings screen by pressing “

Enter

” once

the settings button is highlighted.

3. If your network does not have DHCP enabled, you must manually enter a unique IP

address and its accompanying subnet mask into their respective ﬁelds on the “Setup”

screen.

4. Then write down the IP address. You will need this to access the Telestra's RMS pages

from a workstation on the network with a local web browser.
