2. The IP changes are not active yet, if you use the network commands ifconfig or netstat you will see
that the LAN address of the Topex equipment is still the previous one. To make active the new
addresses, you need to reboot the gateway or better, to apply the settings in modified
/etc/network/interfaces. For this go to directory
etc/init.d
/ and issue “networking restart”:
The equipment answers with a message indicating that it is re-configuring its Ethernet interfaces:
If you are connected via
ssh,
you will see an
error message indicating that the link is broken.
This is normal, because PuTTY was connected
to the old IP address, while the Topex gateway
is now operating with the new IP address!
To avoid this interruption, it is better to configure the equipment by means of the
serial interface
instead of using ssh.

Set up the local time
The equipment is shipped by the manufacturer with a default configuration that includes the
time/date set for Bucharest (Eastern European Time, which is UTC+2).
This configuration may be modified by the customer depending on his geographical area: if
you use the Topex gateway in a location where the time is UTC+11 (like Australia) or UTC-8 (for
example Pacific Coast), you must set its internal clock accordingly.
Note
:
To perform the operations described in this paragraph you must be logged as root (superuser)
.
Before changing the local time on the TOPEX equipment you must shut down the main
application of the system by typing the command:
killall centrala
If you are connected via serial cable, in the HyperTerminal window you will see how the
gateway stops the main application “centrala”:
