X-Bone^Embedded! Quickstart

Following the steps below setups a X-Bone enabled host with default configuration. For detailed instructions on custom configurations, please refer to the full documentation.

1. Make sure X-Bone host is powered down.
2. Plug network cable (to provider at remote location or the local area network) into LAN (regular) port.
3. Configure a client machine, typically a laptop with any operating system, to use DHCP, then connect it to PVT (configuration) port via crossover cable, Ethernet switch/hub, or Wireless 802.11b NIC (only if wireless is enabled on the X-Bone host). Make sure that:
   
1. The client has X-Bone Host Certificate to load into the Embedded X-Bone host.
2. Default network configuration information is available (IPv4/IPv6 addresses and masks, host names, default router, DNS server addresses etc.)
   
4. Connect power cable to X-Bone host.
5. Wait until Status LED starts blinking or for about a minute, then open a browser to access Any page or http://router.local.lan/ from client machine.
6. If location uses DHCP go to step 7 below, otherwise:
   1. Click LAN Setup button.
   2. Change connection type to Static IP Address.
   3. Enter IP address, network mask, default route, and DNS servers.
   4. Click Configure LAN Port button and answer Yes to reboot.
   5. Go back to step 5 above.
7. Click X-Bone Setup button to load certificates and set various other parameters including hostname, addresses and ACLs.
8. Click LDAP Setup button to initialize the LDAP database with X-Bone tree.
9. Click Start/Stop button. Any configuration changes requires restarting the daemon.
