Moab Guide

Connect to your Moab

The easiest way to connect to your Moab is to use a LAN cable and connect it to a router/switch. If this is not possible, you can connect to Wi-Fi as well, but will need an HDMI cable and a USB keyboard to configure your wifi connection.

Ethernet method

If you have an available router/switch, connect the LAN cable to the Moab unit and then power it on.
From your PC (also connected to the same network), type ping moab.local

You should see output like the following:

PING moab.local (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from moab.home (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.218 ms
64 bytes from moab.home (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.259 ms
64 bytes from moab.home (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.259 ms

If you see this,

ping: moab.local: Name or service not known

then your moab is unreachable for some reason. Follow the HDMI method to connect, instead. If you see an IP address, you can simple SSH onto it using

ssh pi@moab.local

HDMI method

Connect the HDMI cable to the Moab unit and plug the other end into a monitor
Connect a USB keyboard to Moab
Power on the unit with the supplied 12V barrel adapter
Once Raspbian has booted up, use the following default credentials to log on

Username Password

pi raspberry

Username	Password
pi	raspberry

Finding out the IP address

To find out the IP address of your moab, type hostname -I at the command prompt

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 172.17.0.1 172.18.0.1

Usually, the first IP address is the IP address of your Moab (mostly of the form 192.168.X.XXX). You can use this to SSH onto it

ssh pi@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Wi-Fi setup

If you want to configure Wi-Fi at this point, you will already need to be logged onto the unit using either the LAN or HDMI methods. If not, please follow the steps for those sections and then come back here.

Now use raspi-config to connect to your WiFi network, and follow the steps in the GIF below to enter your SSID and passphrase for you Wi-Fi network.

Use your WiFi router's administration page to look for a client called "moab" and use that IP address to SSH onto the device.

ssh pi@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
