- Ion Technical Information Manual

Reader Configuration using the serial port
By default, a standard bash shell is available on the Ion serial port; to access the reader using this method, you have
first to configure your preferred serial terminal monitor (Hyperterminal, minicom, etc...) with the following settings:
Baud rate:
115200 b/s
Data bit:
8
Stop Bit:
1
Parity:
None
Flow Control:
None
To login, type
root
at the Username prompt and
rootroot
at the Password prompt.
The default text editor on Ion R4301P reader is the
vi
(a screen-oriented text editor originally created for the Unix
operating system). However it is possible to install any other Debian Linux compatible text editor and to use it as
replacement of the
vi
.
Configure Ethernet settings
To modify the reader network parameters you have to edit the network interface configuration file in the
/etc/network
directory
3
:
root@ion:~# vi /etc/network/interface
# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface uses static address
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
network 192.168.0.0
#gateway 192.168.0.254
Change the default values according to your needs.
If needed, you can also add your preferred DNS server to the
/etc/resolv.conf
file:
nameserver 192.168.0.254
To reboot the network stack and make the changes active, use the following commands (
stop
and
start
):
root@ion:~# /etc/init.d/networking stop
root@ion:~# /etc/init.d/networking start
