| − | This is the recommended way to log into your camera initially as it is very similar to the [[Logging in remotely over the network|remote log in]] method that you will use later once your camera is installed. If you have trouble logging in via Ethernet or WiFi, it is also possible to log in using an HDMI or VGA monitor and a USB keyboard. | + | This was a duplicate page, please refer here: Logging in locally over the network (Ethernet or WiFi) ([[Logging_in_locally_via_WiFi_or_Ethernet|https://dfn.d-f-n.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Logging_in_locally_via_WiFi_or_Ethernet]]) |

| − | = Ethernet =
| |
| − | All DFN observatories have two Ethernet ports. One is used to connect the camera to the internet if there is wired internet available. (This port is labled ''Network/eth1'' on the DFNEXT observatories.) The other port is used for logging into the camera with your computer. (This port is labelled ''Laptop/eth0'' on the DFNEXT observatory.) On DFNSMALL and DFNKIT observatories the Ethernet port for local login should be closest to the USB connectors. This is the port that will be used for these instructions.

| − | = WiFi =
| |
| − | All DFNEXT systems have WiFi connectivity out of the box, and it is possible to add WiFi to DFNSMALLs and DFNKITs as long as the correct USB WiFi adapter is used. The observatory acts as a WiFi access point (this is called AP mode); to connect, just select the relevant network SSID from your device (e.g. <code>DFNEXT13</code> is the SSID of the WiFi network to connect to DFNEXT13.

| |
| − | | |
| − | One important thing to note is that, if the observatory is connected to the internet via an existing local WiFi network it will be in client mode instead of host mode, so there will be no DFN... network to connect to. In this case you will need to connect to the same WiFi network that the camera is using. The process of finding the IP address to log into in this case is slightly different and depends on how the local WiFi network is configured; it might be simpler to [[Logging in remotely over the network|log in via the VPN]].

| − | = Logging In via the Terminal =
| |
| − | Whether you are connected to the camera via wired Ethernet or WiFi (where the camera is in AP mode) the camera will provide you with an IP address via [[wikipedia:Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol|DHCP]] and provide you with internet access if it is connected to the internet (probably via mobile broadband or its ''Network/eth1'' Ethernet port).
| |
| − | | |
| − | To log in via the command line you will need to know the IP address of the camera and the username you would like to use. As some of the commands that we often use require root permissions, we usually log in as the <code>root</code> user. The commands below should work for Linux and Mac OS X users.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== '''If you are connected via Ethernet''' (''Laptop/eth0'' port)– ====
| |
| − | the IP address of the observatory is <code>172.16.1.101</code> . You can connect by opening a terminal and running the command:
| |
| − | ssh root@172.16.1.101
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== '''If you are connected via WiFi''' (observatory in AP mode)– ====
| |
| − | the IP address of the observatory is <code>172.16.0.101</code> . You can connect by opening a terminal and running the command:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ssh root@172.16.0.101
| |
| − | | |
| − | The camera will then prompt you for it's root password or you will automatically logged in via your [[SSH Keys|ssh key]]. (SSH keys are a more secure, faster and more convenient alternative to passwords for logging into computers over the network).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Difficulties logging in as the root user using a password ====
| |
| − | For security reasons, password based authentication is disabled for the root user by default in the latest ([[DFNEXT]]) observatories. If you want to log in using passwords, you will need to log in to the <code>dfn-user</code> user and then change to the root user using the command:

| − | == Logging in via the Terminal from Windows ==
| |
| − | If you are using Windows, you will need to install an ssh program of some kind. For Windows 7 and lower we recommend the Windows program [https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html PuTTY] and '''for Windows 10 we recommend using the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/commandline/wsl/about Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux]''' (through PuTTY still can be used).

| − | === Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux ===
| |
| − | The advantages of using the Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux are that the usage will more exactly match the instructions given here, and you will have local access to the same command line tools that you will use on the camera (which may be helpful). If you have very little drive space available you may want to use PuTTY instead, as the Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux installs a full command line Linux compatibility layer (like having a virtual GNU/Linux distro installed inside Windows, except all of the system calls are handled by the Windows kernel instead of the Linux kernel) and this does take up some storage space. To get similar functionality on older versions of Windows, users can try [https://cygwin.com/install.html Cygwin] or install a Linux distribution such as [https://www.debian.org/ Debian] as a [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads virtual machine].
| |
| − | After installing the Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux, launch it from the start menu and follow the above instructions as normal (as if you are on Linux).

| |
| − | Installation using the MSI 'Windows Installer' is probably easiest. This version is either the first of second file on the [https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html PuTTY download page]. Once installed, run PuTTY from the start menu, enter the IP address of the camera in the configuration screen and hit "Open".

| |
| − | Instead of using the text based terminal you can also use the [[Web_Interface|graphical web interface]] to control most functionality of the camera. It is especially useful when using a mobile device.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To log into the web interface launch a web browser on your local computer or mobile device and enter the IP address of the camera as well as the web interface port (<code>8080</code>).
