Getting Started with HSYCO
Let's discover HSYCO in less than 10 minutes.
Getting Started
Get started by creating a new HSYCO project.
What you'll need
- An HSYCO server
- A PC with a browser installed
Deploying
Follow this documentaion for wiring and installation: HSYCO server installation
First Login
Turn on your HSYCO server and type this URL: https://192.168.1.50 or https://hsycoserver.local/. If the wizard is active you will see the wizard splash page.
If the wizard is not active you should access via this URL: https://192.168.1.50/hsycoserver/manager
Then skip the wizard steps and go to the the step by step first configuration.
Default login:
PIN: 00000
PUK: 00000 0000 0000
HSYCO is pre-configured with a static IP address, 192.168.1.50. If your LAN is not on this IP range, you will need to temporarily assign an IP address within this range to your PC, for example, 192.168.1.51 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This process varies depending on the operating system running on the pc you are using to configure HSYCO.
Because the SSL certificate used to secure the communication between the Web Browser and HSYCO SERVER is self-generated, you will be asked to accept the server's certificate. Follow your browser dialog boxes to permanently accept the certificate.
You can copy and paste PIN and PUK from a document directly in the LOGIN page.
The First Installation Wizard
The HSYCO Wizard guides you through the initial setup of HSYCO with simple, step-by-step instructions.
Ther first step is the creation of ad administrator user.
- The
user ID
must be 4 to 16 letters and digits long, no spaces, no capital letters. PIN
: the Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a five digit number that uniquely identifies the userPUK
: the Personal Unlock Key (PUK) is a fourteen digit number that is used to create the initial peering between the web client and the serve
The default pre-configured PIN and PUK are 0000/00000000000000 for all HSYCO SERVERS, to let you conveniently access the user interface during the initial installation. You can skip the administrator user creation but we suggest not to do it and to create a new administration user in this phase of the configuration process.
This password is the SSH secure protocol password. SSH is used to access the operating system’s console and, if needed, to manage files. The SSH protocol encrypts all traffic and can be safely used for remote management.
In order to guarantee the system safety and to prevent any unauthorized access it is essential to modify the access password of the HSYCO user before installing the system onto any not-secure LAN network.
To protect against malicious service discovery robots, HSYCO does not answer to Web requests where only the server address is defined, for example https://192.168.1.50, but requires an extended URL, which must include an access key, called URLKey.
The URLKey must be at least 8 characters long.
The URLKey is not a secret password, but only an additional protection feature.
The next step is the network configuration. Depending on the hardware platform on which HSYCO is installed, it can have one or two Ethernet ports. In this section, you are only allowed to configure the ETH0 port. For additional Ethernet ports, there is a separate configuration section in the Manager Settings utility.
If the hardware platform on which HSYCO is installed has a Wi-Fi adapter, in this section it is possible to activate the Wi-Fi, then scan the area for available Wi-Fi networks, select an SSID, and enter the password to connect to it.
The Wizard ends by asking to save and reboot the configuration. HSYCO automatically re-starts, the execution of HSYCO is signalled by three consecutive high-pitch beeps. You will be automatically re-direct to HSYCO Manager splash screen.
Congratulations, you can now start using HSYCO and follow one of our tutorials.
