Appendix C: Advanced Troubleshooting
C.1 Accessing the Command Line
For advanced configuration working beyond the web interface of the MCON, users will need an SSH Client, a VNC
Client and an FTP Client capable of using the SFTP protocol. The following list provides 3 suggested utilities and
corresponding links.
1. SSH Client – PuTTY:

2. VNC Client – RealVNC: http://www.realvnc.com/
3. FTP Client – Filezilla: http://filezilla-project.org/
C.2 Additional Ways to Change MCON Network Settings
To change the IP of the MCON, the user will need to establish an SSH connection (TCP port 22) with the MCON. The
first time a user connects with the MCON, the user will be asked to agree to accept a host key for the connection that
will be cached in the registry from that point further. When asked, click on “Yes” or simply agree, depending on which
type or Client is being used. The figure below shows an example of this confirmation dialog window.
Figure 35: SSH Host Key Confirmation
To connect to the MCON, use the following credentials.
Username: edison
Password: m0j1xInc
Once connected, the user is presented with a command prompt. At the prompt, enter the following command:
$ sudo setup
The user will be presented with an interface that allows for the configuration of several parameters as shown in the
following figures.
