Configuration

Creating the Cable

  1. Cut two 15 foot lengths of 22/8 cable
  2. Use a 2x20 pin connector, a 2x3 pin connector, and a 1x7 pin connector, crimp and connect as shown below

2x20

Use male pin connectors.

Keypad2x20CablePins.png

2x3

Use male pin connectors.

The2x3KeypadCable.png

1x7

Use female pin connectors.

The1x7KeypadCable.png

How to Connect

A GPIO cable will be connected to the processing unit. Connect the cable as shown below. Ensure that the black cable in the 2x20 pin connector aligns with the white cable on the GPIO cable. Attach the wiring to the physical keypad as shown

IP Address

DHCP

The VALT Keypad will automatically pull an IP address from DHCP. The IP address can be obtained by reviewing DHCP leases on the associated DHCP server. The hostname of the device is Keypad.

Static

If no DHCP server is available, the VALT Keypad will default to a static IP address of 192.168.0.92.

From the Keypad

On the keypad, type *9 to get the IP address of that device.

Get IP.png

Manual

The IP address from the keypad may also be obtained directly by plugging in a keyboard and running the following command from the console: 

ifconfig | more

The IP address will be listed under interface eth0.

Configuring the Keypad

Via the Web Interface

  1. Make sure the key pad is plugged in and on.
    If it is on you will see the IVS logo displayed on the screen
    If you see the error screen, the keypad is not connected to the server. For right now, this is okay.
    Keypad IVS Sceen.png
    Error Screen.png
  2. Connect your computer to the same network as the keypad.
  3. Open up a web browser and type in the IP address of the keypad.
    Make sure to add "https://" to the beginning of the IP.
  4. Log into the keypad using its credentials.
Default Credentials
Username ivs
Password admin51

Keypad1.png

  1. Log into your VALT server and go to the Observe tab.
    Use the IP or domain of your VALT server.
    Open the room you want to connect to the keypad.
    Look at the URL bar to find the room number. You will use this to connect the keypad to that room.
