Quick Start Up Guide for the R189 One-Net

1. What comes with your One-Net

• A CD that has the full version of the Manual.

2. Getting Started
You will need the following before starting the setup.

• FCC number. This ID number is used in all correspondence with your Cable Head

End and the FCC.

• County name for the location where the equipment will be installed. And county

names for the area you are broadcasting to. These county names will be converted to
FIPS Code(s) in the One-Net.

• Radio frequencies for your LP1 and LP2. These are the approved radio stations for

your area and can be obtained by through your EAS chairman for your state. If a
NOAA station will be monitored that must also be obtained.

• IP address for the One-Net. This must be obtained from your system administrator to

make sure there are no other devices on your network with this address.

3. Logging into the unit.

The three ways to connect to the One-Net are:

Using a VGA monitor, keyboard, and mouse with a One-Net

To configure the One-Net:

• Connect the VGA monitor, keyboard and mouse connected to the correct
ports on the back of the One-Net.

• Then power up and wait for the One-Net to boot and become fully
operational. Make sure the VGA monitor is powered on.

• You will be presented with a login prompt on the VGA monitor. Type in
the user name of "root" (without parenthesis). The default password is
"dasdec1".

• After login, the One-Net presents a shell prompt.

• The typical task at this point is to launch a desktop user interface. Type

the command 'startx' and then pres the Enter key. This will run the KDE
desktop windowing user interface.

• Wait for the desktop to fully launch. Once the desktop is ready, run the
provided One-Net browser app by clicking the icon labeled One-Net Web
Interface. This launches a browser, which will automatically access the
One-Net web server Login page. Follow the instructions for Section 4.2
below for logging into the One-Net using the Web login page. Everything
you will need to do to setup the One-Net for operation and remote network
access will be available from within the Web interface. There is a built in
administrative user (Admin) for the One-Net Web Interface. The default
password for Admin is “dasdec”.

• After you are finished with the One-Net KDE desktop, logout using the
right mouse button popup screen to select "Logout". After a few seconds,
the desktop will exit and you will be back at the shell prompt.

• Once configured, the One-Net is designed to operate “headless” (without
monitor, keyboard, and mouse). The preferable means of One-Net access
is via a Web browser from another computer over the LAN. In fact, while
the One-Net can operate with the KDE desktop enabled, the KDE desktop
consumes much memory and extra CPU speed. The provided KDE
desktop applications are meant as conveniences and tools during One-Net
configuration. These should not be used indiscriminately during normal
One-Net operation. Using applications from the desktop during normal
operation can interfere with the reliable performance of the decoder
software.

Directly connecting a networked host computer

Connect a CAT-5 network crossover cable to the RJ45 port at the back of the
One-Net and to the RJ45 port of the network interface card (NIC) of a
standalone PC or notebook computer. Configure the standalone PC to use the
static IP address 192.168.0.201 with a net mask of 255.255.0.0. After One­Net power up and booting, it can be accessed via a Web browser on the host
computer.

Now launch a Web browser application and direct the URL to
http:/192.168.0.200/. The One-Net will provide a gateway page and quickly
redirect to the One-Net login page.

LAN connection with a networked host computer

Connect a standard CAT-5 network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of
the One-Net into a routing hub or other network-switching device. You will
likely need assistance from a network administrator to insure the One-Net’s
default network address of 192.168.0.200 will be visible on the network, or
will not clash with an existing node. Once the One-Net is powered up,
booted, and operational, it can be accessed via a Web browser from any
remote computer on the LAN routed to see the address 192.168.0.200.

Web Server Login

When the One-Net successfully connects for a Web session, it will present the following page
in the Web browser.

Type "Admin" (no quotes) as the default user name, and "dasdec" (again, without
quotes) as the password. Press the left mouse button over the Login button. With the
correct user name and password, the One-Net will login. If the user or password is
incorrect, the One-Net will display a message indicating the problem. If the One-Net
is left unattended for 10 minutes, it will automatically logout. A message indicating
session timeout will be displayed on the login screen.

o Enter the EAS Station ID for your location. This ID starts with the abbreviation

for your state, followed by a series of numbers. This ID is used with all
correspondence between your Cable Head End and the FCC.

o Configure the available FIPS codes.

 Select the State and county(s) where the alert will be broadcast. Once it

has been selected, click the Add button to add it to the available list. If
you are broadcasting the alert to more than one county, repeat this step
until all of the counties are added.
