Connecting to the VB330-Appliance Using SSH
In order to manage the VB330’s IP address settings remotely or via the network
connection, an SSH session must be established. Any regular SSH client can be
used. One popular client, the free application PuTTY, can be downloaded from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty.
Use the VB330’s default management port IP address of 10.0.20.101 (or another
address if it has been changed) as the Host Name and click the OPEN button.
The default Linux login for Sencore VideoBRIDGE servers is root for the user
and mpeg101 for the password. Once you are logged in, use the nmtui tool to
edit the network connections.

Connecting Monitor and Keyboard to the VB330-Appliance
It is also possible to configure the network settings of the VB330-Appliance using
a monitor and keyboard connected directly to the server. Once the VB330-
Appliance server boots, login to Linux. The default Linux login for Sencore
VideoBRIDGE servers is root for the user and mpeg101 for the password. Once
you are logged in, use the nmtui tool to edit the network connections.
Editing Network Connection Settings Using nmtui
The network settings of the VB330-Appliance can be edited using various
methods applicable to Linux servers. Sencore recommends the use of the
graphical tool nmtui. To load the nmtui tool, type nmtui in the command line and
press ENTER.
Once the nmtui tool is loaded, use it to edit a connection. There should be four
connections for the VB330-Appliance. The one called Management 1 should be
preset to 10.0.20.101. Edit the network settings so that they are appropriate for
your network. Then save and quit nmtui and reboot the server using the reboot
command to apply the new settings.
