OVERVIEW
- In order to get the Ethernet connected Real-Port Coordinator to communicate with the VersaVision software, you will need to install the driver.
- Prior to receiving the Coordinator, you will need to have either provided VersaCall with the Static IP information or have your IT team setup a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- When using a Static IP Address, the Coordinator will be pre-programmed before shipping from VersaCall.
- When using a DHCP Reserved IP Address, VersaCall Technician will provide you with the MAC Address prior to shipment.
- The guide below will explain uploading the files via an SSH Client, feel free to use a different SSH Client or upload the files using the Terminal if you have physical access.
REQUIREMENTS
- Computer/Server/VM must be loaded with Red Hat 8 or 9.
- IT must assign an Administrator level user name and password for VersaCall Installation/User.
- Internet Access Required for the Installation process. Access can be removed after installation.
- SSH Client is required if the User/Installer does not have physical access to the server.
- Server/Computer/VM must have a Static IP Address or a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- Coordinator must have a Static IP Address or a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- Link for Driver file provided by VersaCall Technician.
TOOL TIP
- There is specific Code that needs to be entered in on the steps below. The Paste function in Terminal works differently from Windows.
- To Copy - select the Code/Text in the cell so that it is highlighted. Press the Control Key & C Key on your keyboard at the same time. Alternatively, you can right click on the highlighted text and select Copy from the pop-up menu.
- To Paste - Right Click on the Cursor next to the User Prompt in the Terminal. The copied text will fill in automatically.
- There is specific Code that needs to be entered in on the steps below. The Paste function in Terminal works differently from Windows.
INSTRUCTIONS
- IMPORTANT NOTE: some of the commands require downloads, updates and/or upgrades. Each of these can take some time to complete. Please be patient and allow each to complete its process.
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo yum install ncurses-devel
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo dnf distro-sync
- You will need to reboot the server at this time.
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo reboot now
- You will need to reboot the server at this time.
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- script
- There are 2 separate Codes/Text below, ensure you copy the correct one based on your Red Hat version.
- Red Hat 8
- rpmbuild --rebuild --define DISTRO=REDHAT_8 400002086_AB.rpm
- Red Hat 9
- rpmbuild --rebuild --define DISTRO=REDHAT_9 400002086_AB.rpm
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- cd /home/<username>/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo rpm -ivv dgrp-1.9-31.i386.rpm
- Before copying this code, you will need to know the Static or DHCP Reserved IP Address that has been assigned to the Coordinator.
- This step will assign a port for the Coordinator IP Address.
- If the IP Address is entered incorrectly, VersaVision will not be able to communicate with the Coordinator.
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo dgrp_cfg_node init RP <coordinator ip address here> 01
- Paste the Code/Text into the Terminal.
- Replace the "<coordinator ip address>" section of the code with the Static or DHCP Reserved IP Address assigned to the Coordinator.
- In our example, the IP Address is 192.168.100.100.
- Press the Enter key on your keyboard after the Code/Text is pasted in and the IP Address has been entered.
- You will need to verify that the port created is connected to the Real-Port Coordinator.
- Copy the Code/Text from the cell below.
- sudo dpa.dgrp
- Move on the next installation step - Adding the Remote Coordinator to VersaVision.
