Page 11 / 16

Set up your system

After the first login, you should proceed with the following steps to set up your system:
Update the package list
If the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 is connected to the internet, you can update the package list with
the following command:
apt-get update
Change your password
We recommend changing the password of both accounts. You can do this with "passwd":
passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Set up your network configuration
The network interface of the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 is set to DHCP. You can change this by edit-
ing the file "/etc/network/interfaces". For example, if you want to set the camera to the
static IP address 192.168.0.2 and your gateway is 192.168.0.1, you can do this with the following
lines:
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
Remove SNMPD if not needed
An SNMPD (Simple Network Management Protocol Daemon/service) runs on this system. This
service provides some information about the VisionSensor PV2 / PV3 in the network, for example
hostname, uptime or IP address of the camera. It is useful in combination with the IMAGO
VIBFinder program (Windows only) which can be downloaded on our IMAGO Download Portal. If
you don't need it anymore, you can remove this service with the following command:
apt-get purge snmpd
