First Power Up & Connect to WiFi

[Kah]

Product: Schneider IIOT Box HMI BSC
OS: Linux Yocto, Node-Red

1) Connect monitor to HDMI port, USB keyboard and mouse, and 12...24vdc power supply

2) Insert the recovery SD card and power up

3) Click on FLASH to flash. Wait for it to finish. Remove SD Card when told to do so and power cycle your unit.

4) Follow instructions on screen to change default password for root, user and Node-red

5) You should now see

Code: Select all

root@hmibsc:~# _

6) Type dir and you should see the following

Code: Select all

infra_config.sh  infra_setting.conf  utility
root@hmibsc:~#

7) Let's edit the infra_setting.conf file. Type vi infra_setting.conf. For some reason nano text editor is not present by default (which is much easier to use in my opinion)

Code: Select all

root@hmibsc:~# vi infra_setting.conf

8) Pay attention to the last row of text, you should see

Code: Select all

- infra_setting.conf 1/172 0%

The dash - means the editor is in command mode. Press i to change it to text edit mode. The line should change to:

Code: Select all

I infra_setting.conf 1/172 0%

9) Move over to WIFI_SETTINGS_FLAG and set it to 1

Code: Select all

WIFI_SETTINGS_FLAG=1

10) Move down to WIFI_SSID and set it to your SSID. If you are unable to connect, check that the SSID has no spaces in between. It must be a single word. (Perhaps it can be done with spaces but that's beyond the scope for now)

11) Move down to WIFI_PASSWORD and set it to your password.

12) Press ESC once and the bottom line should change from I to -

Code: Select all

- infra_setting.conf 131/172 76%

13) Type :wq and press enter to Save & Exit

Code: Select all

:wq

14) Type reboot to restart your IOT box. It should be connected to your Wifi. Type ifconfig to double check.
