Connecting to the VB7810 Using SSH
In order to manage the server’s IP address settings remotely or via the network
connection, an SSH session must be established. Any regular SSH client can be
used. One popular client, the free application PuTTY, can be downloaded from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty.
Use the VB7810 default Control port IP address 10.0.20.105 (or another address
if it has been changed) as the Host Name and click the OPEN button. The default
Linux login for Sencore VideoBRIDGE servers is
root
for the user and
mpeg101
for the password. Once you are logged in, use the nmtui
tool to edit the network
connections.
Connecting Monitor and Keyboard to the VB7810
It is also possible to configure the network settings of the VB7810 using a
monitor and keyboard connected directly to the server. Once the VB7810 server

boots, login to Linux. The default Linux login for Sencore VideoBRIDGE servers
is

for the password. Once you are logged in, use
the nmtui
tool to edit the network connections.
Editing Network Connection Settings Using nmtui
The network settings of the VB7810 can be edited using various methods
applicable to Linux servers. Sencore recommends the use of the graphical tool
nmtui. To load the nmtui tool, type
nmtui
in the command line and press ENTER.
Once the nmtui tool is loaded, use it to edit a connection. There should be two
connections for the VB7810. The one preset to 10.0.20.105 is the control port
and the other is typically for the MPEG over IP input. It is also possible to receive
MPEG over IP streams using the Control port. Edit the network settings so that
they are appropriate for your network. Then save and quit nmtui and reboot the
server using the
reboot
command to apply the new settings.
Once the server reboots, the web user interface can be accessed using the IP
address that was set for the control port. All further configuration takes place
using a web browser over HTTP.
