First-Time Access

When a fresh installed Meteohub boots, first thing you have to do is to find it's IP to be able to login with your browser to do setup as described on following slides.
Meteohub provides a couple of techniques to let you know it's IP in your LAN.
- When accessing Meteohub for the first time it has to be connected to your LAN. WLAN will not work from scratch, but has to be setup properly.
- When you have a monitor connected to your Meteohub HW (valid for x86 systems), you will see the LAN IP printed “LAN IP: 192.168.1.123”.
- When you have a NSLU2, e-box or ALIX.1D connected Meteohub will beep it's IP by a tone schema explained on the next slide.
- ALIX.3D2 signals it's IP by flashing LEDs at it's back. See Meteohub manual for details.
- Meteohub defaults to DHCP. So your router might have an entry in it's log file that tells you the IP given to Meteohub
- You can use tools like “ipscan” to search your LAN for active IPs.
- Meteohub has a backup IP 192.168.1.77 where you should be able to connect to in any case (needs your browsing PC being in the same subnet)
