Support
FTMi with a Wan Connection
This step is require for installing a missing openssh-server package onto the FTMi.
The openssh-server will provide an ssh connection to the device at the time of the support session.
This manual explains:
- how to connect an FTMi device to WAN by means of USB Tethering
- how to install the 'openssh-server' onto an FTMi device
- how to add 'support' user account to the system
USB Tethering
- Get connected to the FTMi console and acquire 'root' credentials:
sudo -i
- Issue udevadm command in to monitor how a new interface gets shown up in the system. Issue:
udevadm monitor --subsystem=net monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent
- Leave this session opened and go to the next step.
- Connect the HotSpot to the FTMi by using a USB cable.
- Make the mobile phone work as an HotSpot USB tethering device. Refer to the mobile device manual for more information.
- As soon as the HotSpot starts working the FTMi udevadm session window must have lines like this:
KERNEL[268300.034329] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/net/usb0 (net) KERNEL[268300.054913] move /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/net/enp0s21f0u5 (net) UDEV [268300.085456] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/net/enp0s21f0u5 (net) UDEV [268300.093461] move /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/net/enp0s21f0u5 (net)
- As soon as these line turn out terminate the udevadm session, press 'Ctrl+C'
Note: A new network interface name is enp0s21f0u5. The interface name can be differ from the name in this manual.
- Acquire an ip address for this interface.
ifconfig enp0s21f0u5 up dhclient enp0s21f0u5
Install 'openssh-server'
- Install ssh server
apt-get update apt-get install openssh-server
- Add a 'support' user. Use the adduser command to add a new user to your system.
adduser support Adding user `support' ... Adding new group `support' (1001) ... Adding new user `support' (1001) with group `support' ... Creating home directory `/home/support' ... Copying files from `/etc/skel' ... Enter new UNIX password: support Retype new UNIX password: support passwd: password updated successfully Changing the user information for support Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default Full Name []: Room Number []: Work Phone []: Home Phone []: Other []: Is the information correct? [Y/n] Y
- Use the usermod command to add the user to the sudo group.
usermod -aG sudo support
Support Setup Topology
Validate the ssh connection to FTMi
- Get connected to the FTMi console and acquire 'root' credentials:
sudo -i
- Make sure that a wired interface has a valid ip address provided by the 'standalone router'
- Get back to th PC and try getting connected to the FTMi. Issue:
ssh support@ftmi-ip-address
Prepare WebEx Session
- As soon as the ssh connection were provided install all required WebEx applications on the PC and send the invitation.
