VALT Room Schedule Display

Configuration

How to Connect

DHCP

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

Manual

You can retrieve the IP address from the smart button 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.

Manually Setting an IP Address

In order to set the ip address manually, connect to the device using the ivsadmin user. The ivsuser account can not change any settings. If you are connecting from the console, type su ivsadmin to change accounts. There will be a prompt for the ivsadmin password.

1. Type sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf and press enter
2. Scroll down until to the section for interface eth0.
3. Remove the # at the start of the lines for static ip_address, static routers, and static domain_name_servers.
4. Update the ip configuration to reflect the correct settings for the environment.

   

5. Comment out the remaining lines in the file by adding a # to the start of the line.
