Connecting a HiLens Kit Device to a PC

To operate configurations such as system files of a HiLens Kit device, you can register it using SSH, log in to it, and run corresponding Linux commands. The following uses PuTTY as an example to describe how to log in to a HiLens Kit device using SSH in a Windows 7 environment.

Preparations

You have at least one HiLens Kit device.
Your account is not in arrears.
If you use SSH to register a device, the system firmware version must be 2.2.200.011 or later. If your firmware version is earlier than 2.2.200.011, upgrade it first.
To query the system firmware version, log in to the HiLens IES web UI, and choose Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade to view the current version number.
Ensure that you have obtained the following data:
- IP address of the device to be connected
  For details about the initial IP address of the device, see the Default Value of Initial IP address of the management network port in .
- Username and password for logging in to the device to be connected
  For details about the initial username and password of the device, see the Default Value of Initial user name and password in .
  
  If this is not your first login, use your new account name and password. For details about how to change the password, see Changing the Initial User Name and Password.
Ensure that you have downloaded PuTTY.exe. This is third-party software.

Connecting a HiLens Kit Device to a PC Using a Network Cable

Figure 1 and Table 1 show the ports on the rear panel of the HiLens Kit device.

**Table 1** Description of ports on the rear panel
Port	Description
1	Power button
2	Power socket
3	Management network port

Connect a 12 V DC power adapter to the power socket on the rear panel of the HiLens Kit device.
Press and hold the power button for 1 to 2 seconds to power on the HiLens Kit device.
Connect one end of the network cable to the management network port of the device and the other end to an Ethernet port of the PC.

Interconnecting the Network Between the PC and the HiLens Kit Device

Set an IP address and a subnet mask or route for the PC so that the PC can properly communicate with the device.

Click the network icon in the lower right corner of the PC and click Network & Internet settings.
On the Network & Internet settings page, click Change adapter settings to enter the Network Connections page.
After the HiLens Kit device is connected to the PC using a network cable, a corresponding connection is displayed on the Network Connections page of the PC. Right-click the connection (generally named Local Area Connection) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box is displayed.
Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 and select Use the following IP address. Then, enter an IP address that is in the same network segment as the device IP address and click the Subnet mask text box to automatically generate a subnet mask. Click OK.
For details about the initial IP address of the device, see the Default Value of Initial IP address of the management network port in HiLens Kit User Guide > Default Credentials.
- You can connect to the HiLens Kit device using SSH from your local PC only when the IP address configured in Local Area Connection Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties is in the same network segment as the device IP address. The same network segment means that the first three octets of the local connection IP address are the same as that of the device IP address. For example, if the device IP address is 192.168.2.111, the IP address (in the same network segment as the device IP address) configured in Local Area Connection Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties can be 192.168.2.x, where x is an integer from 2 to 255 except 111.
- If the device IP address has been modified, configure the IP address in Local Area Connection Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties to an IP address in the same network segment as the new device IP address. For details about how to modify an IP address, see Wired Network Configuration (SSH).
