4 Configuring System
This chapter introduces how to configure system.
4.1 Finding Device IP
4.2 Remote Login
4.3 Configuring Storage Devices
4.4 Configuring Ethernet IP
4.5 Configuring Wi-Fi (Optional)
4.6 Configuring Bluetooth (Optional)
4.7 Configuring 5G
The ED-IPC2500 natively supports 5G functionality, but specific configurations must be performed before utilizing the 5G network.
4.7.1 Scenarios Requiring No APN Configuration
If the user's 5G network operates without APN configuration, connect by proceeding as follows:
Preparation:
- The ED-IPC2500 device has completed normal startup.
- A 5G-enabled Nano SIM card has been correctly installed in the device's SIM card slot.
NOTE
Hot-swapping of the SIM card is NOT supported.
Steps:
- Open a terminal window and execute the following command to launch the 5G monitoring utility and automatically connect to the 5G network.
sudo ed-lte-tool --daemon
TIP
After executing the command, the terminal window will display relevant log information.
- Open a new terminal window and execute the following command to check the status of the 5G interface (wwan interface).
ifconfig
The returned information is shown in the following figure:
- If the returned information includes the wwan0 interface and displays an assigned IP address, this indicates that the 5G network is connected.
- If the returned information shows no wwan0 interface, this signifies that the 5G network is disconnected.
4.7.2 Scenarios Requiring APN Configuration
If the user's 5G network requires APN configuration, configure the settings by proceeding as follows:
Preparation:
- The ED-IPC2500 device has completed normal startup.
- A 5G-enabled Nano SIM card has been correctly installed in the device's SIM card slot.
- APN credentials have been acquired, including the APN name, username, and password. The following example information will be used for demonstration:
- APN Name: APN1
- Username: admin
- Password: admin
NOTE
Hot-swapping of the SIM card is NOT supported.
Steps:
- Open a terminal window and sequentially execute the following commands to access the
ed-qml.confconfiguration file.
cd /etc/
sudo nano ed-qml.conf
- Configure the "APN CONfig" settings as required by setting the "apn", "apn_user", and "apn_password" parameters.
TIP
The "ping_server" and "online_script" parameters under the "Network" section also support user-specific configuration as required.
Enter
ctrl+oto save the file, then pressEnterto confirm, and finally inputctrl+xto exit file editing mode.Execute the following command to launch the 5G monitoring utility and automatically establish the 5G network.
sudo ed-lte-tool --daemon
TIP
After executing the command, the terminal window will display relevant log information.
- Open a new terminal window and execute the following command to check the status of the 5G interface (wwan interface).
ifconfig
The returned information is shown in the following figure:
- If the returned information includes the wwan0 interface and displays an assigned IP address, this indicates that the 5G network is connected.
- If the returned information shows no wwan0 interface, this signifies that the 5G network is disconnected.
