Ethernet Capability

Post by ghoisington » Wed Mar 07, 2012 11:32 am

Since an ethernet / network connection is used to upload software to the display, is it also capable of communicating on the ethernet connection to other devices? Our specific application requires us to communicate over a wireless network. Just curious if we can accomplish this with the HV450?

Also, is it possible to get the root password (or user password) for the Telnet QNX connection to the HV450?

Lastly, what connection do you typically use for GPS interface for the mapping applications?

Was there ever an answer posted regarding the QNX Telnet login question above? It would be great if I could pull saved files off the PV450 drive during development through Ethernet instead of disconnecting the USB/Ethernet adapter, plugging in a USB drive, copying the file to USB, then re-connecting the USB/Ethernet adapter.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I know what you mean about all of the swapping on the USB. A USB hub will help, a powered one will be the best. We have several different brands in the office here in use. The Amazon Basic is on my desk. I tried it, it works.

The hub is directly connected to the display. The memory stick is plugged in to the hub. The ethernet/USB cables go from the hub to the computer. This saves on redoing the network connection everytime. You will still need to move the memory stick from the hub to the computer.

Something we talked about but haven't researched to find if it truly works is the memory stick/card with wireless built on it so that you don't have to move the memory stick from the hub to the computer.

Hope this will help!
