Setting Dynamic IP Addresses

To configure one or both LAN ports to request an IP address dynamically use the dhcp option in place of the

static in the iface command as follows:

Default Setting for LAN1 Dynamic Setting using DHCP

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.3.127

network: 192.168.3.0

netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.3.255

iface eth0 inet dhcp

# embedded ethernet LAN1

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Connecting to a Cellular Network

You can install a cellular module on the UC-8410A-LX. For a list of compatible cellular modules, refer to the

Moxa website (www.moxa.com

) or the product data.

After you have installed the cellular module and have inserted the SIM card, use the cellular connection utility

cell_mgmt to connect to UC-8410A-LX to the cellular network.

The

cell_mgmt configuration file is /etc/qmi-network.conf. The file contains the cellular parameters APN,

USERNAME, PASSWORD, and PIN. When you use the cell_mgmt command for the first time, you can type the

following instructions directly in the console without editing the

/etc/qmi-network.conf file. The

parameters and their values will be automatically recorded in the configuration file.

moxa@Moxa:~$ sudo cell_mgmt start APN=internet USERNAME=moxa PASSWORD=moxa PIN=123

Next, use the cell_mgmt start command directly with valid configuration information as follows:

moxa@Moxa:~$ sudo cell_mgmt start

System Administration

Querying the Firmware Version

To check the UC-8410A-LX’s firmware version, type:

moxa@Moxa:~$ kversion

UC-8410A-LX version 1.0

Add the –a option to the command to view the build number:

moxa@Moxa:~$ kversion -a

Adjusting the Time

NOTE

The

UC-8410A

series uses a rechargeable battery that provides power for about one week. Be sure to sync with

a time server e

ach time you recharge the battery to ensure that the UC-8410A is using the correct time.

The UC-8410A-LX has two time settings. One is the system time, and the other is the RTC (Real-Time Clock)

time maintained by the UC-8410A-LX hardware. Use the

#date command to query the current system time or

set a new system time. Use the

#hwclock command to query the current RTC time or set a new RTC time.
