This section describes a brief tutorial on how to install, access, and configure the imRAD device.
However, you have to read the imRAD wiki for more details.

Step 1

Mount your device in a network rack or on a table and connect one end of the ethernet cable to the first ethernet port(i.e. eth0). The ethernet ports of imRAD device support 10/100/1000 BASE-T.

Step 2

Plugin the power cord and turn on the power switch that is located in the back of the device. The power supply supports the Universal AC input(i.e. 90 to 264 VAC).

Step 3

  • Access the CLI by connecting your laptop directly to the console port(RJ-45 connector) that is located in front of the device.
  • Start a terminal-emulation program on your laptop.
  • Configure the terminal emulation software for 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
  • Press the "enter" key one or more times on your laptop until you see the login prompt.

Step 4

Login to the device. The default or initial Username and Password for login are ladmin and 1111 respectively. And then, change the default password to another to access the imRAD CLI(i.e. "LYSH").

After accessing the CLI, you have to set an IP address on the device. Please refer to the CLI - Networking section to know how to configure an IP address. Following is a simple example. 

LYSH@MyHostName# configure			 // Enters configuration mode.
configure# ip add eth0 192.168.0.3/24 192.168.0.1 // Configures an IPv4 address, subnet, and gateway.(i.e. 192.168.0.1)

Configure nameserver and hostname on a device 

LYSH@MyHostName# configure
configure# nameserver add eth0 8.8.8.8	// add a nameserver, 8.8.8.8, into the eth0 interface.
configure# hostname set NewHostName

For more commands, Please refer to the Command Line Interface (CLI, LYSH) section.

Step 5

Open the imRAD Management Interface on your browser and log in. The URL is https://<imrad.configured.ip.address>.
The login user is "admin" and the password is "1111". And then, you must change the default password to another.

The Management Interface does not display on your browser, Check the following.

  • ping the IP address of the imRAD device from your PC or laptop.
  • restart the web server by entering systemctl restart apache2 on the CLI.

Step 6

Configure the imRAD RADIUS and DHCP service on the management interface.

After configuring the RADIUS, you may leave out configuring the DHCP if you have already DHCP servers and want to use the existing servers.
