The 752-9800 ships with DHCP and Static IP disabled. This tutorial will explain the steps to get the device’s networking configured.

Using a keyboard and monitor attached to the Edge Computer, you will be prompted to log in (root/wago). Because networking is not configured, ssh will not be possible to do these steps initially. You will be prompted to change the default password at the first log in.

1. type:

> nano /etc/network/interfaces
