Switch documentation

Configuring a switch for Vehicle or Booster network

1. Reset the switch if needed

To restore the default configuration hold the factory defaults button for 5 seconds then release it.

2. Accessing the configuration page

On a browser, type the address of the switch to enter the configuration page. By default the address is 192.168.0.239. Keep in mind that you have to set up a static address for your computer which is on the same network.

Here, type in the password. By default it's password.

Now, it will prompt you to set a new password.

3. Setting up the IP address

Now, you can set up a name for the switch, but most importantly, you want to specify an IP address, a mask and a gateway. For this, you first need to disable DHCP mode.

For example, for the Vehicle switch we would use an address on the 192.168.1.0/24 net and specify the gateway as 192.168.1.1. For the Booster we would use the an address on the 192.168.2.0/24 net and gateway 192.168.2.1.

Keep in mind that this IP address is only used for conifguring, so we want to set up an address that doesn0t interfere with normal use of the net. For example, we can use 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.2.100.

Now, click Apply to update the switch. Now, it should disconnect you, since you changed the IP address. Change your PC address to match the net of the switch and log in again using the IP and the password you just set up.

4. Enable mirroring

Lastly, we need to enable port mirroring so the RasPi sees all the traffic on the network.

On System, go into the Monitoring section, then click Mirroring.

Here, enable Mirroring, and select Destination Port 1, where we will connect the RasPi. Now, select all ports except 1, so their traffic gets mirrored to the RasPi.
