Assign a Static IP Address
If DHCP support is not enabled, set a static IP address for the unit:
CAUTION:
The file name “network.conf” must be all lowercase
letters.
1.
Create a
network.conf file
on a USB stick with these entries:
BOND0_IP4_CONFIG=static
BOND0_IP4_ADDR=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
BOND0_IP4_GW=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
BOND0_IP4_PREFIX=
nn
Use your IP address, gateway, and prefix to replace the “
n
” variables
as required.
2.
Insert the stick
in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at
least two minutes for the
network.conf
file to update the unit.
3.
Remove the
USB stick
.
The unit will restart with the updated network settings.
NOTE: If the unit does not reboot automatically, recheck network.conf
filename to ensure it is all lowercase letters. You may need to use a
Linux or MacOS host system to check a filename as Windows OS
can change the filename to uppercase but cannot display it.
For more information, see the
RDX QuikStation 4 & 8 Product Manual.
Connect to Remote Management Console

Management Console from any computer on the same network as the

A reset password pop-up screen is displayed.
2.
Enter and verify a new, unique password.
The password must meet the following requirements:

It must be between 12 to 30 characters in length.
•
The password is case sensitive and can contain only letters,
numbers, and any of these special characters:
- . ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ “ ” ,

Password is allowed only if it is uncommon and meets certain
complexity minimums.
Once the unique password is set, it can be used with the host VTX name
(“vtx2u”) to log into the console.
