On the top of the window the MAC address of the device is displayed. To detect the MAC address manually, press the button “Refresh”. The displayed MAC address is the same MAC address printed on the white sticker placed on the back of the B050-000. The Linux setup tool does currently not support device configuration via the USB interface. Please use either a network connection or the serial console for the initial device configuration.

Furthermore, there are two buttons on the window: “Query Device” and “Setup Device”. Press the “Query Device” button to display the preconfigured values of the network configuration. The values are displayed in the text fields lo- cated nearby. If necessary, adjust the network settings to your needs. To save the changes enter an user name and an according password. Then press the “Setup Device” button.

Authentication

To adjust the authentication settings, enter your login as a superuser and change your password.

Super user login

Enter the login name of the super user. The initial value is “super”.

Super user password

Enter the current password for the super user. This initial value is “pass”.

New super user password

Enter the new password for the super user.

New password (confirm)

Re-type the new password for the super user.

To close the window and accept the changes press the “OK” button, otherwise press the “Cancel” button (on Windows). On a Linux system close the window by the ap- propiate button of the window frame.

Initial Configuration via DHCP Server

By default, the B050-000 will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask. Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is rec- ommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the B050-000. You can find the MAC address on the outside of the shipping box and labeled on the bottom side.

If this initial configuration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to adjust the values to your needs. The setup tool can be found on the CD ROM delivered with this package. You can follow the procedure described below.
