Quick Start Guide
The eManager is already pre-installed with an optimal Linux Yocto distribution, which includes all the necessary configuration so that you can set up and use the equipment from the first moment.
Follow these steps when booting your eManager for the first time:
Step 1. Ethernet cable
Plug an Ethernet cable into the eManager. You can connect the other side of the cable to the device you want to connect your eManager to. The eManager can be configured in three different ways, depending on how you want to assign the IP address:
- Statically: 10.1.10.10. This option requires configuring the PC's IP address to 10.1.10.1.
- Dynamically: 10.1.10.10 or the dynamically assigned IP address.
- Shared: 192.168.136.1.
Step 2. Power supply
Connect the eManager to the power supply.
For more information about different types of power connections, check here.
Step 3. Log in with SSH
Log in to eManager using an SSH client. The following connection parameters, must be used:
- Host IP: 10.1.10.10 or the dynamically assigned IP address.
- Username: root.
- Password: available on the eManager label.
Because the password is visible on the eManager label, it is recommended to change the default password to prevent other people in the organization from being able to log in.
You can use any ssh client:
- OpenSSH command line client (the ssh command) – an open source implementation typically included with MacOS and Linux distributions.
- PuTTy – a freeware implementation for Windows.
- SecureCRT – a commercial implementation with a free trial for Windows, Mac and Linux.
If you do not know the IP of your device, you can access it as it is explained here.
If the ssh connection has been performed properly, you will see a prompt similar to:
Step 4. Log in to Webadmin
To access Webadmin you only need to enter 10.1.10.10 or the dynamically assigned IP address.
Once connected, the following page appears.
Log in using the following parameters:
- Username: admin.
- Password: available on the eManager label.
Because the password is visible on the eManager label, it is recommended to change the default password to prevent other people in the organization from being able to log in.
Step 5. Upgrade eManager
The eManager can be upgraded through the Webadmin.
If you do not know the IP of your device, you can access Webadmin as it is explained here.
Once you are logged in, click Update section and Packages update section will appear as shown in the image below.
When the packages are already upgraded an Up to date message is displayed. Otherwise, a New packages to upgrade message will be displayed and the Upgrade button will be enabled.
Other messages can be displayed, for example, in the case no Internet connection is available to verify if the device is up to date.
Upgrade process may take several minutes.
Step 6. Reboot eManager
