 II Micro – Operation Manual

13.3  Connect Using Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse

1.  With the Device turned off, connect a VGA monitor to the rear panel VGA port.
2.  Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to any of the Device USB ports.
3.  Turn on the Device.

The monitor screen will display messages from the Device boot-up application. Once the boot process has finished 

and no further messages are scrolling up the screen, use the following key combination to access the IP settings 

screen: 

Ctrl+Alt+F2

 

◦

The monitor screen will display 

login as:

4.  Use the following:

 

 

Username: 

mkip

 

 

Password: 

123456

You will be presented with the 

MKIP System Settings

 menu on the monitor which will be similar to Figure 1-4.

13.4  Connect Using SSH Client

It may be more convenient to use SSH than to connect a monitor. In this manual we demonstrate using PuTTY, an SSH client.
A free copy of PuTTY is obtainable at 

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.

1.  Start PuTTY and enter the Device default IP address (192.168.0.23) and SSH port number (22), Figure 1-2. If the 

address and port have been changed from default, use the applicable address and port.

2.  Optionally, for the best display of line drawing, in the Window>Translation section, choose 

ISO-8859-1:1998 (Latin-1, 

West Europe)

3.  Click 

Open

. You are presented with a login screen, Figure 1-3.
