Setting the Custom IP Address, Network Information, and Ethernet
Internet Access
Network configuration is defined in /etc/network/interfaces.
1.
To change the static IP, change the address and netmask fields in /etc/network/interfaces, (use vi or
nano).
2.
To apply changes, either reboot the device or issue:
ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
Note:
You will lose your SSH session by doing this.
3.
To enable DHCP with default settings, edit /etc/udhcpd.conf (using vi or nano) by entering, starting, and
ending IP addresses for DHCP range.
mlinux-dhcpd start
4.
Issue this command to start DHCP:
mlinux-dhcpd start
Note:
To stop or restart, issue:
mlinux-dhcpd stop
or
mlinux-dhcpd restart
5.
To configure Internet access via the Ethernet port, modify /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
a.
Add gateway 192.168.2.254 beneath the netmask line, where 192.168.2.254 is the IP address of
your network router.
b.
To apply changes, either reboot the device or issue:
ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
Note:
c.
Test Internet access with ping 8.8.8.8.
Configuring the Cellular Connection
To establish a cellular data link, you must configure and initiate a PPP connection. Sample options, files, and chat
scripts are provided in the ppp peers directory /etc/ppp/peers. Anything specific to the network or connection
should be placed in one of these files. Global options should be placed in /etc/ppp/options.
1.
Set up a cellular data connection.
Set "APN" to the APN for your cellular provider. (Not necessary for
Verizon SIMs)
$ mlinux-set-apn APN
# Dial the connection (using /etc/ppp/peers/xxx# config)
$ pppd call xxx#
(where xxx# is your radio, LNA3 for North America or LEU1 for Europe)
2.
Use the Linux route utility to verify ppp0 is up.
