Quickstart

What's in the box?

The unit is delivered with the following (see photo):-

  • "figure eight" power cord
  • Engineer's (black) serial USB2 to MiniUSB lead
  • Cat 5 patch lead
  • 4GB SD flash memory card

Pre Power-up

The unit requires that the SD card be inserted prior to power up. The SD card is inserted into the SD card slot. The slot is located on the left face of the device bwteen the MiniUSB port and the reset pin-hole. The card should be oriented face down (as shown in the picture below).

Once inserted, the device should look like the picture below. In this image you can see the SD Card correctly inserted with the MiniUSB port to the right and (somewhat less clearly), the reset pin-hole to the left.

Power Up

You can now attach the device to the local network using the RJ45 patch cable provided or any regular RJ45 ethernet patch lead. Insert the figure eight power cord into the base of the unit and plug it into the mains (100-240VAC). The unit will power up and come on-line in about 1 minute.

Determining the IP address

By default, the S200 ships with DHCP enabled. i.e. it will attempt to get an IP address from the local DHCP server on your network. However, this does mean that you will have to figure out the IP address of the unit before you can log into it. You can do this in one of several ways. You will need the MAC address of your S200. It is printed on the reverse of the appliance.

In the above image the MAC address is the long number under the top bar code... F0:AD:4E:01:4B:C9. Each MAC address is unique and you can use it to discover the IP address of your appliance. You can use any of the following methods..

  • Most commercial routers have a window which shows DHCP leases together with the IP address and MAC address. Using this as a cross reference you can find your S200 appliance.
  • If you have a windows PC or laptop you can use a free tool like softperfect's network scanner (http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/). These tools will scan your local network and return each IP address and its corresponding MAC address.
  • If you have a linux box then you can use arp and ping to find the appliance IP

ARP/PING (Linux)

1. reboot your S200 appliance and give it a minute to come up 2. at your linux box run arp 

arp
Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask            Iface

pc-00107.aelintra.local  ether   00:0E:A6:1B:BB:17   C                     eth0
pc-00001.aelintra.local  ether   00:0F:66:D9:74:CD   C                     eth0

As you can see, our appliance (F0:AD:4E:01:4B:C9) is first in the list. We can ping its name to get the IP 

ping pc-00102.aelintra.local
PING pc-00102.aelintra.local (192.168.1.102)
