• Wait for the desktop to fully launch. Once the desktop is ready, run the
provided One-Net browser app by clicking the icon labeled One-Net Web
Interface. This launches a browser, which will automatically access the
One-Net web server Login page. Follow the instructions for Section 4.2
below for logging into the One-Net using the Web login page. Everything
you will need to do to setup the One-Net for operation and remote network
access will be available from within the Web interface. There is a built in
administrative user (Admin) for the One-Net Web Interface. The default
password for Admin is “dasdec”.
• After you are finished with the One-Net KDE desktop, logout using the
right mouse button popup screen to select "Logout". After a few seconds,
the desktop will exit and you will be back at the shell prompt.
• Once configured, the One-Net is designed to operate “headless” (without
monitor, keyboard, and mouse). The preferable means of One-Net access
is via a Web browser from another computer over the LAN. In fact, while
the One-Net can operate with the KDE desktop enabled, the KDE desktop
consumes much memory and extra CPU speed. The provided KDE
desktop applications are meant as conveniences and tools during One-Net
configuration. These should not be used indiscriminately during normal
One-Net operation. Using applications from the desktop during normal
operation can interfere with the reliable performance of the decoder
software.
Directly connecting a networked host computer
Connect a CAT-5 network crossover cable to the RJ45 port at the back of the
One-Net and to the RJ45 port of the network interface card (NIC) of a
standalone PC or notebook computer. Configure the standalone PC to use the
static IP address 192.168.0.201 with a net mask of 255.255.0.0. After One-
Net power up and booting, it can be accessed via a Web browser on the host
computer.
Now launch a Web browser application and direct the URL to
http:/192.168.0.200/. The One-Net will provide a gateway page and quickly
redirect to the One-Net login page.
LAN connection with a networked host computer
Connect a standard CAT-5 network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of
the One-Net into a routing hub or other network-switching device. You will
likely need assistance from a network administrator to insure the One-Net’s
default network address of 192.168.0.200 will be visible on the network, or
will not clash with an existing node. Once the One-Net is powered up,
booted, and operational, it can be accessed via a Web browser from any
remote computer on the LAN routed to see the address 192.168.0.200.
