About the Edge system shell mode

To put the Edge device into the debug system shell mode, plug-in the USB-to-MicroUSB cable. This makes the system shell available at the controller’s Debug port, at a pre-defined serial rate: 115200, 8, N, 1.

Using a terminal emulation program, such as PuTTY, you can login with platform credentials and access the system shell menu. After changing platform IP address parameters, a reboot command from the menu is necessary, and you remove the USB cable. The Edge device reboots using the changed IP address parameters.

Apart from physical access to the controller, you need the following items:

  • A working USB port on your PC.
  • VCOM or similar PC software (such as PuTTY) enabling the USB port to emulate a serial port
  • A cable to connect your PC’s USB port to the Edge device’s Debug port.
