Quick Installation Guide ENOS

Version: 1.1

1. Introduction

This quick installation guide provides the basic configuration steps for the new eSIX Xatellite series routers.

3. Security Settings

To protect your router from unauthorized access, please change the default factory user administrator password immediately after the first connection.

3.1 Change the default user administrator password

By default, the user "admin" is the only user with administrative privileges created internally by ENOS (eSIX Network Operating System). Please note that "admin" is a permanent user and cannot be deleted.

3.1.1 Login

Ensure your computer is connected to the router (wired or wireless). Launch a web browser and enter https://192.168.1.1 (for example), and you will see the login page.

Figure : Login Page

Default Credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: eSix6688

3.1.2 Modify the default password

1. Navigate to System → User, and you will see the user settings page

Figure : User Settings Page

2. Click the Edit button

Figure : Edit Password

3. Enter the new password
4. Click the Save button, and return to the user settings page

Figure : Save Changes

WARNING

Please note that "Unsaved Changes: 1" is displayed in the upper right corner of the page. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes. The new password will take effect immediately!

3.1.3 Create other user accounts

You can stay on this user settings page to create other users to access this router.

Figure : Create User Accounts

3.2 Disable or connect to eBrain

INFO

Please note that all Xatellite series routers are set to connect to the eBrain Cloud as a Service for remote management by default. If remote management is not required, please disable this feature by unchecking the corresponding option to enhance security.

3.2.1 Disable the connection to eBrain

You can disable the connection to eBrain to avoid unauthorized remote access to the router.

1. Go to the Services → Central Management page
2. Uncheck the Enable checkbox

Figure : Disable eBrain Connection

3. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes

3.2.2 Connect to eBrain

Please consult your dealer for further instructions on setting up the router for remote centralized management.

4. Basic System Configuration

4.1 Set device hostname and timezone

By default, most Xatellite series routers are set to "xatellite" as the hostname.

1. Go to the System → Settings page, under the General tab

Figure : Hostname and Timezone Settings

2. Modify the hostname and timezone as needed
3. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes

4.2 Configure Time Synchronization

By default, the NTP server candidate is set to pool.ntp.org, which is a large virtual time server cluster that provides reliable and easy-to-use NTP services to millions of clients (including this router).

1. Go to the System → Settings page, under the Time Synchronization tab

Figure : Time Synchronization Settings

2. Custom NTP Server can be used
3. Click the Save and Apply button to submit changes

4.3 Set Interface Language

The router uses English by default, and the browser's language setting is set to "Auto". If the browser cannot automatically recognize the language correctly, you can specify a language.

1. Go to the System → Settings page, under the Language tab

Figure : Language Settings

2. Select your preferred language
3. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes

5. System Logging

The system logging function is an important debugging/monitoring feature. By default, system logs are implemented in the form of a circular buffer, where fixed-size records are stored in RAM. A router restart or power cycle will cause the system logs to be lost. To retain system logs for debugging or monitoring, they can be streamed to the system's permanent flash memory or sent to a remote log server via TCP/UDP sockets.

5.1 Stream to the system's permanent flash memory

1. Go to the System → Settings page, under the Logging tab

Figure : Logging Settings

2. Check the Retain System Logs checkbox to transfer system logs to permanent flash memory and avoid losing log history
3. Change the System Log Buffer Size to a large size of 10240 KiB (10MB) for troubleshooting purposes

WARNING

Retaining system logs to permanent flash memory may shorten the lifespan of the flash memory. It is strongly recommended to transfer system logs to a remote log server.

4. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes

5.2 Transmit to remote log server

1. Go to the System → Settings page, under the Log tab

Figure : Remote Log Server Settings

2. Enter the IP address of the remote log server and press the TAB key
3. The hidden field will be displayed, and the Retain System Logs checkbox will be unchecked
4. Keep the System Log Buffer Size at the default value (2048 KiB)
5. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes

6. Network Management

6.1 Change the default LAN IP address

You can change the default LAN IP address to suit your existing network management style.

Important Warning

Changing the LAN IP address will immediately affect your connection to the router:

• Your current web interface connection will be lost
• You will need to reconnect using the new IP address

Steps:

1. Go to the Network → Interface page

Figure : Network Interface Page

2. Find LAN and click the Edit button

Figure : LAN Settings

3. Enter the new IP address (for example: 192.168.123.1)
4. After changing the IP address or network mask, click the Save button
5. Click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes

A dialog box will pop up:

Figure : Configuration Change Warning

You are about to change the IP address of the "lan" interface. This will affect your access to this device.

IMPORTANT:

• Current access to this interface will be lost immediately after applying changes.
• You MUST reconnect to the new IP address within 90 seconds to confirm these settings.
• If you do not reconnect in time, the device will revert to the previous IP address.

6. Click the Apply Permanently and Keep Changes button
7. Enter the new IP address in your browser (e.g., https://192.168.123.1), and you will see the login page again

Note

• It may take some time for your PC (DHCP Client) to obtain a new IP address from the router
• You can manually unplug and plug in the Ethernet to refresh the new IP address
• In a worse scenario, you may need to turn off and then turn on the router to re-establish the connection

7. Wireless Configuration

If the router supports WiFi 6, it has two radio transceivers: one for 5 GHz and one for 2.4 GHz.

7.1 Change WiFi SSID and password

1. Go to the Wireless → Configuration page

Figure : Wireless Configuration Page

2. For example, change the default 5 GHz SSID to "example_5G"
3. Click the EDIT button

Figure : Edit SSID

4. Modify the SSID name as needed
5. To change the password for this SSID, click the Encryption tab

Figure : Encryption Settings

6. Enter the new password
7. Click the Save button to save all changes

Figure : Save WiFi Settings

8. Finally, click the Save and Apply button to submit the changes
