Initial Checks
Upon receiving your equipment, carefully inspect all shipping containers
for damage. If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier
immediately. The damaged shipping container should be saved as
evidence for inspection by the carrier.
As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the
carrier for damage incurred during shipment. Emerson will fully
cooperate with you, however, should such action be necessary.
After unpacking the equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers
are required if you should need to contact Customer Care during the
warranty period. All shipping containers and all packing material should
be saved should it be necessary to transport or ship any part of the
system.
Verify that all components of the system have been received and that
they agree with your order. If the system received does not agree with
your order, contact Customer Care.

Power-Input
To power the system, a voltage of 24 V DC must be supplied to the
power connector. The IPC 2010 power supply must meet the
requirements for SELV (safety extra-low voltage)/LPS (limited power
source) or ES1/PS2 appropriately rated for the ambient and altitude of
the application. There are no buttons for power or resetting, as the system will
start automatically once power is applied. The Power LED (1) will light up green
to indicate that the system is now powered on.
The specific plug required is a Phoenix Contact with the part number
1748367, and users must use the same connector type

Battery
The IPC 2010 contains a CR2032 lithium coin battery. It is a industrial
CR2032 (-40°C to 125°C) battery and is accessible on the right side of
the IPC 2010. Depending on the operating hours and temperature, the
estimated battery life is 2 to 10 years. Battery current is not used when
the IPC 2010 is supplied with 24V.

5PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Battery Maintenance
To replace the battery, pull the battery holder (on the right side of the
system) out of the system, replace the battery and insert the battery
holder back into the system.
Figure 3: Battery Removal
CAUTION
- Only replace with CR2032 battery. Batteries may explode if
mistreated. Do not charge, disassemble, or incinerate.
- Remplacer uniquement par une pile CR2032. Les piles peuvent
exploser si elles sont maltraitées. Ne pas charger, démonter ou
incinérer.

6PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Serial Console
To gain access to the system, utilize the serial console port (4) by
connecting it to the host PC’s RS232 interface using a null modem cable.
Once connected, the host can establish a connection by running a
terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or minicom. The default serial
port parameters are 115200, 8N1
The connector is RJ-45 style with pinout as defined in EIA/TIA-561, so
that off-the-shelf adapters to DB9 or USB can be used.
The pinout for RJ-45 (8P8C) connector is defined as follows:
Signal
RJ-45 Pin
GND

Once a serial connection is established, it can be used to determine an
IP address that was assigned by DHCP server, using command: ip addr

7PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Secure Shell (SSH)
To establish a connection with the system, Ethernet can be used instead
of the serial console. The system has an SSH server running on port 22,
and the default IP address settings are described below.
To connect to the system, use Putty on a Windows host or the default
SSH tools on Linux.
The login credentials will vary depending on the pre-installed software
*Ubuntu Linux or PACEdge), so it is advised to refer to the sections
below for specific details.
IP-Addresses
On preinstalled systems the second ethernet interface (Port 2) is
configured to use the static IP-Address: 192.168.3.100 and DHCP as
well. Therefore (if the second ethernet interface is connected to a DHCP
server) two IP-Addresses are usable on this interface (IP-Address
provided by DHCP server and static IP-Address 192.168.3.100).
CAUTION
MULTIPLE DEVICES WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS ON THE SAME
NETWORK CAN LEAD TO ADDRESS CONFLICTS WITH UNPREDICTABLE
BEHAVIOR.
If you are using several microIPC devices in the same network, it is strongly
recommended to change the static IP Address.

8PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Pre-Installed Software Images
IPC 2010 comes with two pre-installed software options:
•Ubuntu Server 20.04.05 LTS
•PACEdge v2.3.0 (based on Ubuntu 20.04 Server)
Depending on pre-installed software login credentials and some of the
configuration tasks are different. Sections bellow will guide through the
getting started process for each of these software options.

9PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Ubuntu Server Quick Start
Ubuntu Server 20.04.05 LTS software package provides a basic Linux
operating system environment on IPC 2010. Software installation
contains only basic software packages, but user can easily install
additional packages by using apt command.

Note: This user also has sudo permissions to be able to execute
privileged operations and to install additional software packages using
apt command.

10 PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Networking Configuration
In Ubuntu Server, the interface Port 1 is named lan1, the interface Port
2is named lan0.
CAUTION
MULTIPLE DEVICES WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS ON THE SAME
NETWORK CAN LEAD TO ADDRESS CONFLICTS WITH UNPREDICTABLE
BEHAVIOR.
If you are using several microIPC devices in the same network, it is strongly
recommended to change the static IP Address.
The static IP-Address can be configured in the following files:
Interface 1
/etc/netplan/20-eth1.yaml
Interface 2
/etc/netplan/10-eth0.yaml

11 PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Additional network configuration
If the system obtains an IP address via DHCP, the server may supply
additional information like DNS server addresses or the default gateway
to configure the client system.
If this is not the case, or when using manual IP configuration, some
additional settings must be made to obtain full network functionality.
Setting the default gateway:
ip route set default via <address>
Setting a DNS server:
resolvectl dns lan0 <server address>
Permanent network configuration is done via netplan and its
configuration files in /etc/netplan/. Activate the new configuration after
making changes with:
netplan apply

Getting Started
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled Port2.
2. Setup the User PC Ethernet port IP address to be statically
assigned as follows:
Pv4 Static IP: 192.168.3.10
(or similar in the same subnet)
a. Netmask: 255.255.255.0
1. Power up the IPC (please consult initial startup section for
details) and wait until it boots.
2. 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.
Initial Login
Upon connecting to PACEdge for the first time, a warning message may
display due to the self-signed certificate on the device. The message will
state that the identity of the device could not be confirmed. To proceed
please click on Advanced and Accept.
Please read and accept the Emerson End User License Agreement
(EULA).

14 PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
Once EULA has been accepted you will be redirected to the Password
Management screen. PACEdge software consists of multiple software
tools and applications, each having its user management and password
settings. To simplify the process, PACEdge comes with pre-configured
users: admin, developer, service, and operators, each having its own
password. Use the Password Management screen to change passwords
in two steps: 1) for all PACEdge Applications, 2) for Cockpit/Linux
(Figure 5). When changing the passwords, follow instructions on the
screen and consult help information accessible via question mark button
in the upper right corner.
Note: For cybersecurity reasons and for proper user account setup, 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

Additional Information
Overtemperature Alarm
To protect the system from damage and to avoid unpredictable behavior,
the device will shut down when a temperature limit is reached (actual
limit is depending on the system variant).
When this limit is reached, the system will shut down and the
Temperature LED (2) will light up in red.
The system will re-start automatically after the temperature has fallen
below the threshold hysteresis.

18 PACSystems™IPC 2010 GFK-3268A
LED Control
If a user needs to control LED behavior directly, this can be achieved in
Linux using the pseudo-files located in
/sys/class/leds/
Accessing the Boot Loader
The boot loader of IPC 2010 is configured to start the installed Linux O/S
automatically without user interaction.
If it is necessary to access the boot loader settings or change the boot
process, a serial connection cable as described above is required to
access the U-boot console.
More information about the boot loader and its functionality can be found
in the document ‘CPU1v2 U-boot Manual’, which is available from
Emerson.
