8.1 Configuring an IP address for the device using the console
Before you begin
Before logging in make sure the device is connected to a computer with a serial connection and powered
up.
Note: Make sure all antennas are connected properly to the device before powering it up.
About this task
This chapter details the necessary steps to log in to the operating system on the device using the console
through a serial connection and configure an IP address for the device so it can be accessed through the
graphical user interface or through an SSH connection.
Procedure
1. Download and install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers from https://
www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers For installation
instructions and driver related support, refer to the Silicon Labs website.
2. Open a console connection to the serial COM port using the following settings:
Parameter Value
Serial line: COM4
Speed (baud) 115200
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Flow control XON/XOFF
Note: To find the appropriate COM port that the device is connected to, refer to the Device Manager of
your operating system.
3. Log in as root. The default password is provided separately.
4. Open the network configuration file using the following command:
root@ITS-OB4-M-1000100:~# vi /etc/config/network
5. Modify the ipaddr field to match your network settings.
You can also set it temporarily with the command below (example):
root@ITS-OB4-M-1000100:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.54
Note: This will not save the IP configuration but will let you access the the GUI from a web
browser.
6. You can now also change the password using the passwd command. You can also do this later using
the GUI in the System > Administration menu.
config interface 'wan'
option ifname 'eth0'
option macaddr '70:B3:D5:F2:A7:34'
option proto 'static'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ipaddr '192.168.0.54
