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 tooting 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 in one of two different ways, depending on how you want to assign the IP address:
- Statically: plug into your PC. This option requires configuring the PC's IP address to 10.1.10.1.
- Dynamically: plug into your router or PC with DHCP server.
Step 2. Power supply
Connect the eManager to the power supply.

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.
- User name: root.
- Password: given after purchasing the eManager.
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.

Step 5. Upgrade eManager
If you experience unstable Internet connection please follow these steps instead.
We recommend you to upgrade your eManager at least the first time you get into its command-line. Make sure that the computer or network that your eManager is connected to has Internet access.
This may take several minutes.
To ensure that all packages have been updated you can repeat the opkg upgrade command until a No packages installed or removed message is shown.
Step 6. Reboot eManager
Reboot for the changes to take effect.
