Setting up RNDIS of the Host PC for 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 focus on setting up RNDIS of the host PC first.

Steps to setup host network (Windows 10)

 

  1. Connect IGT-22-DEV with your host PC with an dual USB Type A cable, power on IGT-22-DEV, and wait for a while for IGT-22-DEV’s initialization.
  2. Run “devmgmt.msc” to open the Device Manager window, and check if IGT-22-DEV’s RNDIS and serial appears. Please note that the numbering you see might be different.
  3. Run “ncpa.cpl” to open the Network Connections window, and find the matching RNDIS interface, for example Ethernet 4 here, of IGT-22-DEV
  4. Right click on the Ethernet 4 and then click Properties in the quick menu to open the Property window. And choose TCP/IPv4 and then click Properties button.
  5. Manually set the IP address and Subnet mask as shown in the following picture, and the click OK.

    The network configuration is done. Close all opened windows

  6. Now you can try to log in to IGT-22-DEV using browsers visiting http://192.168.7.2:9090. Please refer to IGT-2x manual for username and password. If you see an unsafe browsing warning, it can be ignored. It’s a local link between your host PC and IGT-22-DEV. Take Chrome as an example, click on Advanced button, and then “proceed to 192.168.7.2(unsafe)”

    After login, you can find a web-based Terminal at the left panel if you’d to try.
