Network configuration without the web interface
You may configure the network settings without the web interface by utilizing a USB memory stick, and a small shell script.
We recommend using a high quality and stable USB drive for this procedure. Cheaper USB drives typically used for
marketing purposes tend to be unstable. Store one of the scripts below as a text file named
tsusb
on the USB flash drive. It
is important that you use Unix-style line endings for the script or it will not run successfully. The use the following
procedure to perform the configuration:
1.
Power-cycle the switch
2.
Wait for the Power LED to become stable green for at least 5 seconds
3.
Insert the USB stick in one of the USB-A slots. Power LED should start blinking.
4.
Wait ~35 seconds for the procedure to complete.
5.
Power LED should have been stable green for at least 5 seconds
6.
Eject the USB and power-cycle the switch
7.
Review the new files present on the USB stick
