Using pman
pman is a text-based configuration program that runs from the Unix shell on the set top box.
Its functionality mirrors the web-based configuration tool and you can use pman to set or edit
all STB configuration parameters. In a typical scenario, you use a keyboard (wireless or PS/2)
to open a Unix shell and you launch
pman from that shell. You can also run pman using
terminal emulation or Telnet. With the correct terminal emulator, the pman configuration
utility can be run from the serial shell. The serial port parameters cannot be changed from
such a
pman session. If you accidently change the serial port parameters from a pman session
running on the serial port, reboot the STB to recover.
T To r un pman using the wireless keyboard:
1. Type
Ctrl-Alt-F1 to access the Unix shell using the wireless keyboard (or a standard
keyboard connected to the PS/2 port).
2. At the
VBrick-STB login: prompt, enter the username and password (root, admin).
3. Then type
pman to launch the text-based pman configuration utility.
4. Navigate using the arrow keys; select fields or apply changes using the
Enter key.
5. Select
<...> to exit to a higher level in the menu.
6. When done, type
Ctrl-Alt-F2 to exit.
