CONSOLE SETUP
You can display the Helix Broadcaster 100 console menu using secure shell (SSH).
With the console, you can perform network setup functions such as setting the
addresses for the WAN and LAN port.
Using Secure Shell
If Helix Broadcaster is accessible on your network, you can use secure shell (SSH) to log in to
the console. The following sections explain methods of using SSH from Windows or Linux.
Windows PuTTY Client
On Windows, you can use the PuTTY client, which you can download from your preferred
shareware site or directly from
http://www.putty.org/
. After you install and launch the client,
configure access using SSH on port 22. Unless the IP address has been changed already, log in
with the default IP address listed on the back of the Helix Broadcaster hardware.
PuTTY Windows Client Setup
Log in with the
admin
account, which you can specify along with the IP address:
admin@
HelixBroadcasterAddress
For example:
Once you reach the machine with SSH, Helix Broadcaster prompts for the password. Unless it
has been changed already, the default password is:
admin
Linux SSH
On Linux, you can use SSH from any command-line shell:
1. Open a command shell.
2. Unless the IP address has been changed, log in with the default IP address listed on the
back of the Helix Broadcaster hardware:
ssh admin@
HelixBroadcasterAddress
