How to Establish SSH Access to Florawise Modular MAX

• This document provides detailed instructions for establishing SSH access to Florawise controllers in two different ways: using a direct HDMI and keyboard setup or via Ethernet connection.

  ---

• Method 1: Direct HDMI and Keyboard Setup

  Required Equipment:

  1. HDMI-compatible monitor.

  2. Standard keyboard with USB connection.

  3. Power supply for the Florawise Modular.

  Steps to Access the Console:

  1. Connect the Controller:

     • Plug the HDMI cable into the controller’s HDMI port and connect the other end to the monitor.

     • Connect the keyboard to the controller’s USB port.

  2. Power On the Device:

     • Ensure the controller is connected to a power source and turn it on.

     • Wait for the boot process to complete and the login prompt to appear on the monitor.

  3. Log in to the Console:

     • At the login prompt, enter the following credentials:

       • Username: florawise

       • Password: 25885252

     • Press Enter to access the system console.

  4. Perform Operations:

     • Once logged in, you can execute commands or perform any necessary configurations.

  Method 2: Ethernet Connection with SSH

  Network Configuration:

  The controller is preconfigured with the following network settings:

  • IP Address: 192.168.1.140 (dynamic assignment via DHCP)

  • Gateway: 192.168.1.1

  • DNS: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

  Required Equipment:

  1. Ethernet cable.

  2. A computer connected to the same network as the controller.

  3. SSH client software (e.g., PuTTY, OpenSSH).

  Steps to Establish SSH Connection:

  1. Connect the Controller to the Network:

     • Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the controller’s Ethernet port and the other end into the network router or switch.

  2. Verify Network Connectivity:

     • Open a terminal or command prompt on the computer.

     • Test connectivity by pinging the controller’s IP address:

       ping 192.168.1.140

     • If the ping returns replies, the connection is active.

  3. Establish SSH Connection:

     • Open your SSH client software (e.g., PuTTY or terminal).

     • In PuTTY:

       1. Set the Host Name (or IP address) field to 192.168.1.140.

       2. Choose SSH as the connection type.

       3. Click Open.

     • Alternatively, in a terminal, execute:

       ssh florawise@192.168.1.140

  4. Log in to the System:

     • When prompted, enter the following credentials:

       • Password: 25885252

     • Press Enter to establish the connection.

  Note:

  If the controller’s IP address is unknown, check the network’s DHCP table or use a network scanner to identify the assigned IP.
