Running the first initialization script on IGT-22-DEV

Posted on by Raymond

IGT-22-DEV is a special version of IGT-22 by Neousys Technology with pre-installed open source IoT platform agent, Thingsboard-gateway, as well as other frequently used packages, such as Docker CE and NodeRED. Though it’s design to be prompt for evaluation, there’re still some simple steps to make it work, including

  1. Setting up RNDIS of the host PC
  2. Provisioning IGT-22-DEV on Thingsboard
  3. Running the first initialization script
  4. Setup the demo dashboard on Thingsboard

In addition to these text instruction, there is also a silent video on YouTube doing the same.

Let’s see how to run the first initialization script

Pre-request

 

  1. IGT-22-DEV has been connected to your host PC via a dual USB Type A cable.
  2. The RNDIS of the host PC has been set up. If not, make it done first.
  3. The Access Toke of the provisioned IGT-22-DEV on Thingsboard has been acquired.

 

Steps to run the first initialization script

 

  1. Connect IGT-22-DEV with a LAN cable to a router with DHCP and out-bound connectivity. The hardware setup is self-contained and doesn’t really need an Ethernet network. However connecting IGT-22-DEV to the previously provisioned instance of IGT-22-DEV on Thingsboard requires the out-bound LAN connection.
  2. Use a browser to visit http://192.168.7.2 and login.

    Please refer to IGT-2x manual for username and password

  3. After login, click Terminal on the left panel to start the web-based console.

    And you can see the command line prompt on the right.

  4. Run the initialization script with the host address, shown in the blue rectangular, and the access token, shown in the red rectangular, in the step  Provisioning IGT-22-DEV on Thingsboard.
  5. It will take a while to load NodeRED image, starting the container and other configuration.
  6. After the initialization, the script will reboot IGT-22-DEv. And you’ll see on the web console that IGT-22-DEV is disconnected.

    Wait for a while and click Reconnect button. You’ll see the login page again. IGT-22-DEV is now connected to Thingsboard.
