This document is Solectek CONFIDENTIAL and may not be reproduced without written permission. V1.5 1. Introduction For the Phase II release, the Configuration of the MRS boardset can be changed in three ways: HTTP GUI, Telnet and Configuration File. 1. The GUI is functional, though per Solectek schedule, is not completely functional. 2. Telnet may be used to work with the commands listed in this document. 3. The Configuration File may be offloaded, modified and re-stored on the MRS. 2. Unit Power The MRS boardset is intended to be powered via the 2pin, +48V connector on Minotaur. The Solectek Base Station is to be powered via PoE, supplied by the included Power Supply/Injector and connected into the RJ45 Minotaur connector 3. Unit Access Both HTTP and Telnet access is password protected. Default access is as follows: Login: Root Password: Solectek 4. Unit Defaults MRS Boardset Solectek Base Station Network Mode Bridge Bridge Ethernet IP Address 172.21.0.100/255.255.0.0 172.21.0.10/255.255.0.0 RF IP Address 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0 RF Mode Client Access Point SSID Koito_2 Koito_2 Encryption Open Open RF Bandwidth 20 MHz 20 MHz 5. Telnet Any Telnet client can be used to access the MRS and Base Station devices. Access is per login/password above. Once logged in, configuration can be adjusted by two methods: (a) direct commands, or by (b) modifying the configuration file. 5.1. Direct Commands set_config The set_config can be used to change (or add) a configuration variable. On in the Telnet shell, the command may be invoked as:
This document is Solectek CONFIDENTIAL and may not be reproduced without written permission. V1.5 set_config VARIABLE VALUE eg. set_config ENET0_IPADDR 10.20.20.7 (Set the ENET0_IPADDR). set_config DEV_MODE ap (set the device operation mode to AP). IMPORTANT: All set_config commands should be followed by a save_config command which stores the changes to permanent Flash memory. A reboot is also required for most command to take effect. show_config You may use the show_config command to display the value of a configuration variable. eg. show_config ROUTER_TYPE 5.2. Configuration File Within the MRS software system, there are two files that hold configuration information. Both are accessible by Telnet: • /etc/shadow - has user name and passwords for console and telnet (and ssh) login. (This file does not hold the password for the GUI login) • /etc/solectek/CONFIG_VARS - This file holds all the configuration information for Networking (such as IP addresses, netmasks etc.), WIFI configuration, Product Operation mode etc. Remember that any method you use to modify these files, require the command save_config when you are done with the changes. The file CONFIG_VARS contains information on the product configuration. This file has a very simple format: VARIABLE1=VALUE1 VARIABLE2=VALUE2 Changing the VALUE of a VARIABLE will change them in the current CONFIG_VARS file, but not in the flash. The file can be changed by: uploading a version of the file to a PC, edit it, and download it back to the device. Save it, and then reboot. There are two methods to accomplish this: • ftp - ftpput is used to send a file from the MRS device to a remote system. ftpget is used to get a file from a system. The commands look as follows: ftpput -u username -p password local-file remote-file ftpget -u username -p password local-file remote-file

Configuration Parameters Note: Parameters are case sensitive Note: Parameter format below is correct for CONFIG_VARS file usage. When used with set_config, the ‘=’ is replaced by a space. • ENET0_IPADDR=aa.bb.cc.dd - IP address of the Ethernet Interface - Used as the Bridge address when the system is operating in Bridge mode. • ENET0_NETMASK=aa.bb.cc.dd - Netmask for the interface • ENET0_BROADCASAT=aa.bb.cc.dd - The broadcast address of the interface • ENET0_MAC=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff - The mac address (This may go-away based on manufacturing). Currently, when the system boots up, this MAC address is set on the Ethernet Interface. • WIFI_IPADDR=aa.bb.cc.dd - The WIFI IP address - Can be ignored if the system is a Bridge • WIFI_NETMASK=aa.bb.cc.dd - Netmask for the interface • WIFI_BROADCAST=aa.bb.cc.dd - Broadcast address of the interface • DEFAULT_GATEWAY=aa.bb.cc.dd - The default router gateway • ESSID - ESSID of the wireless interface - If the device is an AP, then it will advertise the ESSID, while if it is a client, then it will connect to this ESSID • DEV_MODE=ap|client - The device mode, can either be "ap" or "client" • ROUTER_TYPE=bridge|router - The routing method can be "bridge" or "router". If bridging is used, then it will use the information of the Ethernet interface and apply it to the bridge interface. • WIFI_CWMMODE=0|1|2 - 0 = static 20Mhz channel, 1 = dynamic 20/40 Mhz, 2 = 40 Mhz Channel. System must be set to 0. • WIFI_ENC=open|shared|ieee8021x - open is WEP (static key), shared WPA2 with either a passphrase or passkey (128 bits). • WIFI_WEP_KEY=key - 10 digit or 26 digit hex key (for 40+24 or 104+24) WEP • WIFI_PASSPHRASE=pass-phrase - 8 to 32 characters - This is used when WIFI_ENC=shared. If present, this will be used instead of WIFI_PSK (below)
This document is Solectek CONFIDENTIAL and may not be reproduced without written permission. V1.5 • WIFI_PSK=32 hex digits PSK - Used in shared mode • RADIUS_SERVER=a.b.c.d - IP address of radius server. Used when WIFI_ENC=ieee8021x. • RADIUS_SECRET=secret - Secret shared with the radius server • ADMIN_NAME=admin - For HTTP login request for the GUI • ADMIN_PASS=password - For the HTTP login • HTT_AUTH_REQ=on - on or off - When on, secure web-pages require login (with ADMIN_NAME) • SERIAL_NUM=xxx - This is the serial number of the unit. It should not be changed. • PRODUCT_NAME=MRS - Product name assigned by Solectek • OEM_NAME=xxx - Solectek can use this when configuring for an OEM • SYSTEM_NAME=string - Name to identify the device • VERSION_files=string - Will be put in when upgrade is done • VERSION_kernel=string - Will be put in by upgrade process • ROUTE_NET_0=aa.bb.cc.dd - Static route to be added • ROUTE_NET_1=aa.bb.cc.dd - Static route to be added • ROUTE_NET_n=aa.bb.cc.dd - Static route to be added (Max 8 - ROUTE_NET_7) • ROUTE_GW_n=aa.bb.cc.dd - Gateway for ROUTE_NET_n (0 <='n' <=7) • ROUTE_NETMASK_n=aa.bb.cc.dd - Netmask for ROUTE_NET_n (0 <='n' <=7)

Upgrading Software, Phase3 SW release The method described below is a temporary method to upgrade software prior to the user-friendly approach to be delivered in the Phase3 release. WARNING: updating the MRS and AP software using the following procedure will reset the configuration file. All configuration information will be reset to default, including the Ethernet MAC address. It is vital that the Ethernet MAC address configured properly, after the upgrade is complete. • Prepare Windows XP Service Pak2, server with IP address = 172.21.0.200 • Download TFTP dwin version 0.4.2... from: http://www.download3k.com/Install-TFTP-Server-TFTPDWIN.html • Install the TFTPDWIN Server in the directory "C:\program files" • Copy both the Vmlinux.img and Root.img files into "C:\program files\Tftpdwin\" directory • Connect ethernet cable between Minotaur and Server. • Connect serial cable between Minotaur and Server. • Launch Hyperterm or Teraterm console application and configure the following settings: o baud rate = 115200 o 8 data bits o no parity o 1 stop bit o HW flow control = No o SW flow control=No o Serial Device = /dev/ttyS0 Be sure exit and reset "minicom" after changing the settings and allow some time for the serial console to reinitialize. • Boot Minotaur • Logon and verify Serial console read and write access. (You should see text scrolling and after booting, you should be able to type into the console) • At the console prompt, type: show_config ENET0_MAC and record the unit's MAC address • Power cycle Minotaur and immediately press “Ctrl-C” on Console screen. This will stop the boot process and provide access into the Redboot Boot Loader. • Enter the following commands: ip_address -h 172.21.0.200 -l 172.21.0.100/16 fis delete solconfig fis delete ramdisk fis delete zImage load -b 0x1600000 vmlinux fis create -b 0x1600000 -l 0x240000 -f 0x50080000 -e 0x800000 -r 0x1600000 zImage load -r -b 0x800000 root.img fis create -b 0x800000 -r 0x800000 -l 0x300000 -e 0x800000 -f 0x502c0000 ramdisk
