INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
thank you for your confidence in purchasing a Digicom branded product.
EDGE 3000 is an EDGE computer designed for IoT ecosystems.

INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation procedure for starting the EDGE 3000.
System’s installation: Warnings
Before putting the system into operation, it is necessary pay due attention to
the following indications to ensure the operator safety. Attentions should be
given whenever you need to interact with the device (for example, during its
maintenance and decommissioning).
It is necessary, as first step, to verify not only the devices integrity but
also to be sure that the personnel in charge for the installation of the
device is duly trained.
It is also necessary to place the device indoor for not compromising its
functionality and for safety reasons (to avoid the contact with atmospheric
agents or wet or dusty places); please note that EDGE 3000 is a IP30 class
device.
Before connecting the EDGE 3000 to a device / equipment through the RS485
port, it is necessary that the latter is non-powered (refer to the manual of
the device/equipment before proceeding with the connection to the EDGE 3000).
NETWORK SETUP
Below the steps needed to start using and configuring EDGE 3000.
- Connect EDGE 3000 to your home network. For more information, see section “EDGE 3000 connection to the home network”
- Turn on EDGE 3000, waiting that systems goes up and running.
EDGE 3000 connection to network
In order to connect EDGE 3000 to the network, proceed as follows:
- Connect the Ethernet to the EDGE 3000 ETH1 connector;
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your router/switch (make sure it is turned on with a dhcp server enabled);
- EDGE 3000 is now connected to the LAN and will be accessible from the address assigned by the router.
To turn on EDGE 3000, proceed as follows:
- Connect the power supply into the respective inputs on the EDGE 3000 connector. If EDGE 3000 was already connected to the power supply press the PWR button for 3 seconds until the Power State LED turns on (Green).
- After 30 seconds the LAN and DEV LEDs will start blinking synchronously.
- At this point the DEV LED will continue blinking whereas the LAN LED will turn to green if connected to the network (solid). This means that the EDGE 3000 boot process has successfully completed and the OS is ready.
Power Off
The powering-off the Edge Computers needs to press the PWR button for one time
(no need for continuous pushing, try to avoid pushing more than 5 second),
initiating a safety mechanism of power-off applications/events. After 60-90
additional seconds all the LEDs will turn off. EDGE 3000 is switched off
(shout down time).
The emergency power off of the Edge Computers is a safety mechanism used to
shut off machinery avoiding the disconnection of power supply, in case of
blocking the execution of processes, when it cannot be shut down in the usual
way.
The process needs to press the PWR button for 10 sec.
Direct access to resources of EDGE 3000 by means of OS “Linux”
General and Networking
After having powered the device, configured as DHCP Server on auxiliary
ethernet Interface ETH2, you can connect directly via Ethernet, inserting
Ethernet (ETH2) plug into RJ45 socket and connecting the other end of the
Ethernet cable to a PC.

- Port 22
Credentials for WEB connection
- User id (root) —
- Password b810dgc!
- User id (guest) —
- Password edge3000!
- Port 8880
The networking Interfaces of our edge computers are managed by systemd –
