Configuration
How to Connect
DHCP
The VALT Smart Button will automatically pull an IP address from DHCP. The IP address can be obtained by reviewing your DHCP leases on your DHCP server. The hostname of the device is SmartButton.
Static
If no DHCP server is available the VALT Smart Button will default to a static IP address of 192.168.0.91.
Manual
The IP address can be received 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, the SmartButton must be connected to by using the ivsadmin user credentials. The ivsuser account can not change any settings. If connecting from the console, type the following to change accounts. There will be a prompt for the ivsadmin password.
su ivsadmin
- Type the following and press enter
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
- Scroll down until you find the section for interface eth0.
- Remove the # at the start of the lines for static ip_address, static routers, and static domain_name_servers.
- Update the ip configuration to reflect the correct settings for your environment.
- Comment out the remaining lines in the file by adding a # to the start of the line.
Configuring the Smart Button
- Type the following and press enter:
sudo nano /home/ivsuser/.bashrc
- Scroll down to the bottom of the file
- Modify the last command in the file to match your environment. Make sure to remove the # from the beginning of the line. The settings are listed below.
-s Server IP Address or DNS entry -u VALT Username -p VALT Password -r VALT Room Number -n The default name for any recordings started with the button. -m The default name for any markers created with the button. --ssl True if the Valt server is using https, otherwise omit this option.
Reboot the Smart Button (sudo reboot) and it should begin functioning normally.
