K60 management interface options

• WebUI: Provides an interactive display of status information and settings options.
• Command Line Interface (CLI): Provides a set of commands enabling the operator to manage, maintain and troubleshoot the system via the command line.
• AltoCommand (optional): Provides the same interactive display and settings as the WebUI, for each unit in the network. It also enforces user permissions and authentication for the network.

The WebUI and the CLI management interfaces require the following:

• The IP address of the K60 unit. (You may have to temporarily set your computer to obtain IP addresses automatically for direct access to the unit.)
• Supply power to the K60 and connect it to your computer. Typically, this is done using one of the methods shown in the following graphic.

  

  Tip: Since the ports on the unit are weatherproof, a standard RJ45 Ethernet plug will lock into place and be difficult to remove. One option is to remove the locking tab from a standard RJ45 plug. Or, use an Ethernet cable equipped with the weatherproof Harting push-pull plug (IP67 rating) to be used for outdoor installation.

• Log in with the unit’s password to change settings or access sensitive information.

Open the WebUI and log in

The K60 WebUI is a single page with status information and settings on multiple tabs. To directly access the K60 WebUI:

1. Supply power to the K60 and connect it to your Internet-enabled computer with a Cat5 or higher Ethernet cable, as described in the previous section.
2. Open a browser on your computer and browse to the unit’s IPv4 IP address via https. For example, https://169.254.5.225. (Your unit’s specific IP address will be different from the example, but will follow the pattern: 169.254.#.#. See how to find the original IP address.) If issued a security warning, click the Advanced button and Proceed to the site.

   Note: For some browsers, you can use the unit name, (KB-XX-XX-XX) instead of the IP address. For example, https://KB-C6-03-06.

   The WebUI window opens, showing status information for the K60. You can view the Status tab, without logging in.

   

3. Clicking any tab or the login button will prompt for a login. The first time you log in, use the default user name and password.

User Name: kwikbit

Password: kwikbit

Changing the password can be done on the Admin tab. The unit’s password is the same for both the WebUI and CLI. See Management Functions for a description of more settings by tab.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The K60 CLI provides device status as well as configuration options through information and control commands using Secure Shell (ssh). To directly access the K60 CLI:

1. Supply power to the K60 and connect it to your computer with a Cat5 or higher Ethernet cable, as described in Management Interface Options, above.
2. Open a terminal or command window on yo?ur computer.
3. To access the CLI, enter the secure shell command, ssh, followed by kwikbit@, followed by the unit’s IPv4 IP address. For example: ssh kwikbit@169.254.2.225. (Your unit’s specific IP address will be different from this example, but will follow the pattern: 169.254.#.#. See how to find the original IP address.)

   Note: You can also open the CLI using the unit name, (KB-XX-XX-XX) instead of the IP address. For example, ssh kwikbit@KB-C6-03-06.

   The CLI displays your unit’s IP address with a password request.

    

4. Enter the default password: kwikbit. The CLI is ready and lists the unit name in the command prompt. The unit’s password is the same for both the WebUI, CLI.

   Use the following methods to list available information and run control commands to adjust settings.

   To list available information commands: Enter ? at the prompt.

   

   To enter control mode to adjust settings: Enter control at the prompt. Then enter ? to list all control commands.

   

   To end the CLI session: Enter Exit on the command line or close the terminal or command window.

Altowav AltoCommand

The optional AltoCommand management application automatically discovers all connected K60 devices on the network and establishes a secure connection to each one using a security certificate provided by Altowav.

Network planning, installation and provisioning procedures are most efficiently performed using AltoCommand. In addition, AltoCommand enables centralized network operations for viewing, managing and monitoring your deployed network.

For more information on the AltoCommand device and associated applications, please refer to the AltoCommand User Guide.
