4Set up your hardware
Please follow the steps to set up your hardware environment.
Connecting the device
1. Connect the 72W AC adaptor in accessory or other suitable DC source to the MP1-11TGS 3-
pin power terminal block.
2. Connect LAN cable to LAN port (either one) of the MP1-11TGS, and the LAN cable also
connect to a DHCP switch (this DHCP network can access to Internet)
3. Connect LAN cable to your PC, and the LAN cable also connect to the same DHCP switch (this
DHCP network can access to Internet)
4. Power on the device
Accessing the device via ssh
The IP-Address of the LAN-interface of the MP1-11TGS is set to: 192.168.2.100/24
Configure your PC to use following network settings on the LAN-interface connected to the MP1-
11TGS:
IP-Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0
You can use a standard SSH-Client to access the MP1-11TGS.
In this example we will use PuTTY (https://www.putty.org/)
Start the SSH-Client and enter the MP1-11TGS IP-Address into the text-field. Make sure that the
radio-button next to ‘SSH’ is checked to configure the software to use port 22 for connection

Output format to "json" if you prefer.
8Install AWS IoT Greengrass
8.1 Download the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software
If Greengrass has not been included in the SD card image, you can download the latest
greengrass core software as follows:
wget https://d2s8p88vqu9w66.cloudfront.net/releases/greengrass-nucleus-latest.zip
8.2 Install the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software
Unzip the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software to a folder on your device. Replace
GGCoreInstall with the folder that you want to use
unzip greengrass-nucleus-latest.zip -d GGCoreInstall
rm greengrass-nucleus-latest.zip
Verify the version of the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software:
java -jar ./GGCoreInstall/lib/Greengrass.jar --version
You will see the Greengrass version displayed - similar to:
AWS Greengrass v2.4.0
8.2.1 Provide your credentials

8.2.2 Run the installer
Run the installer as shown below. Modify the values as per your region, install directory and
thing name.
Use the --provision true option to have the installer set up the "thing" and required policies for
you. If you prefer to configure Greengrass manually, see the online guide.
sudo -E java -Droot="/greengrass/v2" -Dlog.store=FILE \
-jar ./GGCoreInstall/lib/Greengrass.jar \
--aws-region us-west-2 \
--thing-name thing-name \
--tes-role-name GreengrassV2TokenExchangeRole \
--tes-role-alias-name GreengrassCoreTokenExchangeRoleAlias \
--component-default-user ggc_user:ggc_group \
--provision true \
--setup-system-service true \
--deploy-dev-tools true
If all goes well, you will see the following output on the device console:
Successfully configured Nucleus with provisioned resource details!
Configured Nucleus to deploy aws.greengrass.Cli component
Successfully set up Nucleus as a system service
The local development tools (specified by the --deploy-dev-tools option) take some time to
deploy. The following command can be used to check the status of this deployment:
aws greengrassv2 list-effective-deployments --core-device-thing-name thing-name
When the status is SUCCEEDED, run the following command to verify that the Greengrass CLI
is installed and runs on your device. Replace /greengrass/v2 with the path to the base folder on
your device as needed.
/greengrass/v2/bin/greengrass-cli help
