Pluto problems

Post by G8DGN » Fri Aug 09, 2024 1:45 pm

Hi, I just bought a Pluto (from an official source) and am having trouble communicating with it.
When plugged in as a USB storage device, I can set its IP and ping it. However it times out on ssh root@IP_address, and no http server is running.
The same result occurs with a USB to ethernet adapter.
Should its ssh client and http server be running - out of the box?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
When you set the IP, are you setting it in the right place? For an example I have copied part of my Pluto config below. See the [USB_ETHERNET] part where the IP address information is added to fit in my network and used with the USB to ethernet adapter . The [NETWORK] part you leave as that is what address the Pluto has when connected via USB.

Have you installed the windows drivers?

Thank you very much for the suggestions. Yes I had misunderstood the various IP addresses, and adding to the confusion was an intermittent USB adapter. All seems to be working fine now.
