Initial Startup
For the first startup, it is advisable to connect a monitor,
keyboard, and mouse so that boot progress can be observed. For
headless operation after the first start up, a directly attached
monitor is not required.
After making the power connections, the IPC will power on
automatically. A few seconds after powering up, the RXi2-BP IPC
system UEFI Firmware banner and Emerson logo will display on
the screen. If the user does not see any error messages up to this
point, the RXi2-BP IPC is running properly and ready to be
configured for an application.
For more information on remote management DASH
functionality and UEFI Setup, please see the RXi2-BP Hardware
Reference Manual (GFK-3187).
If the RXi2-BP came with pre-installed software, the boot process
will continue to load the operating system and application
software.
Note: If the RXi2-BP IPC does not perform as described above, some
damage may have occurred during shipment, or the IPC is not configured
properly. Please contact Emerson for technical support. (Please see the
contact information provided at the end of this document.)

powered up will start with Windows 10 self-guiding dialogues and
configuration options, allowing the user to configure username,
password, geographical location, keyboard layout, etc.
Once the Windows operating system has been personalized as desired,
the user will reach the Windows desktop. At this stage, the user will be
able to upload a previously developed project to the Industrial PC. This
can either be done via a USB key, or by using the deployment function
in the Movicon.NExT editor tool running on a connected device.
Note:
•For more information on how to deploy a project, please visit:

•Industrial PC is only pre-installed with runtime license. If you
require an editor license to develop or edit a project, please
contact Emerson sales to make a purchase.
To start the runtime of a deployed Movicon.NExT project, please go to
Start->Movicon.NExT->”project name” or double-click on the project
icon on the desktop if a desktop icon has been created during
deployment. This will start the runtime of the project.
Movicon.NexT Demo Mode
Movicon.NExT software can be used to design data flows, alarms, and
HMI screens (Editor mode) as well as execute already designed projects
(Runtime mode). Industrial PCs with pre-installed Movicon.NExT
software are licensed for runtime operation only and not for editor /
development mode. When launching a project on this Industrial PC, the
user is expected to launch the runtime only (i.e., launch project directly
instead of opening it from the Movicon editor tool). If the user opens
the editor tool, they will see a pop-up stating that it is running in Demo
Mode. This message is referencing the editor functionality only and is
expected. If you need an editor license, please contact your Emerson
sales representative to make your purchase.

10 RXi2 - BP Industrial PC Quick Start Guide GFK-3196C
Checking Activated Licenses
The RXi2-BP with pre-installed Movicon.NExT software also has a pre-
installed and ready-to-go software license. To check which features are
licensed please open the editor tool by going to: Start->Movicon.NExT-
>Movicon.NExT 4.1->Options->License->Check License.
Note: This path opens the editor tool which is not licensed on this
product. Please expect to see “demo mode” pop up as detailed in
section “Movicon.NExT Demo Mode” above.
Movicon.NExT License File Recovery in Windows 10
An Industrial PC pre-installed with Windows 10 and a Movicon.NExT
software package ships with the license files already activated and
ready to use. In the case of a major software crash, the IPC will require a
re-image of the Windows’s license files, which will have to be manually
re-installed. Emerson Customer Care should assist with this re-
installation. Please refer to GFK-3187, RXi2-BP User Manual for detailed
instructions on obtaining and reinstalling the license files.

PACEdge Startup
This section applies to the units pre-installed with the PACEdge
software.
PACEdge Usage Model
PACEdge software has two usage models:
1) Direct Use Model: Running on the Industrial PC. which has a
directly attached Monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
2) Headless Use Model: Running on the Industrial PC, which is

PACEdge in a Direct-Use Configuration
In a Direct-Use case, the user interfaces with the PACEdge system via
the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Getting Started
1. Connect the monitor to the RXi2-BP device by using a DP cable.
Note: If the monitor of choice has an HDMI or VGA input, use a
standard off-the-shelf DP-HDMI or DP-VGA adapter.
2. Connect a keyboard and mouse to any of the four USB ports
3. Power up the PACEdge unit (please consult initial startup
section for details) and wait until it boots.
4. The boot process will pause and ask for login details. Login as
admin with password edgestack.
Note: The user will be asked to change the default password to
a unique password at the first login.
5. Most interactions with PACEdge are done via a browser-based
interface. To get started, click on Activities->Show Applications
and start the Firefox browser.
6. Within the Firefox browser, go to https://localhost
7. Proceed to the section entitled Initial Login.

13 RXi2 - BP Industrial PC Quick Start Guide GFK-3196C
PACEdge in Headless Configuration
In a Remote Headless configuration, the user interfaces with PACEdge
via Ethernet using a separate device’s web browser.
Getting Started
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled ETH0
next to the 24 V power connector on the RXi2-BP.
2. Setup the User PC Ethernet port IP address to be statically
assigned as follows:
a. Pv4 Static IP: 192.168.3.10
(or similar in the same subnet)
b. Netmask: 255.255.255.0
3. Power up the PACEdge unit (please consult initial startup
section for details) and wait until it boots.
4. Open the browser of your choice and type in 192.168.3.100 in
the address bar.
Note: All Ethernet ports are also configured to get IP addresses
assigned by the DHCP server. This dynamically assigned IP
address can also be used to access PACEdge. In case DHCP
server also supports DNS service, PACEdge unit dynamically
assigned IP address can be obtained by using command shell
and ping pacedge
5. Proceed to the section entitled Initial Login.

14 RXi2 - BP Industrial PC Quick Start Guide GFK-3196C
Initial Login
When the user connects to PACEdge for the first time (using the
instructions outlined in PACEdge in a Direct-Use Configuration or PACEdge
in Headless Configuration), a warning message will display due to the
self-signed certificate on the unit. The message will state that the
identity of the device could not be confirmed. Please click on Advanced
and Accept to proceed.
Please read and accept the Emerson End User License Agreement
(EULA).
Once EULA has been accepted you will be redirected to the Password
Services screen. PACEdge software consists of multiple software tools
and applications, each having its user management and password
settings. To simplify this task, PACEdge comes with pre-configured
users: admin, developer, and operators, each having its own password.
Use the Password Services screen to change passwords for the whole
group of services. This will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
(Figure 6). Additionally, change the Portainer and Cockpit/Linux
passwords individually (Figure 7).
Note: For cybersecurity reasons, the user must change the default
passwords at the first login. Important: Please consult the PACEdge
Secure Deployment Guide (GFK-3197) for recommended password
changes and other cybersecurity-relevant settings.
