Note
Once you downloaded the ISO file as indicated by the support team, you can create the
bootable USB key that will be used for the installation.
Important
During the bootable USB key creation, please make sure to select MBR partition mode. The
use of UEFI mode is not supported.
1. Make sure that you have installed on a utility software (such as Rufus) to create a bootable USB
key (FAT32 format).
Rufus is Windows only and should be used with DD mode. You might consider calling
out other options such as Balena Etcher which is available on Windows, MacOS and
Linux.

Important
Prior to this connection:
• Ensure that the ssh service is enabled (please refer to Configuring Security Settings).
• You have the IP address of the server if connecting to the server on the same LAN.
To access the server's Settings menu through ssh connection, you have two options:
• Static IP – Connecting the computer directly to the server using the Ethernet port 2. In this case,
both the server and the computer have a static IP address.
• LAN (DHCP) – Connecting the computer and the server to the same LAN. In this case, the
network interfaces of both the server and the computer are configured on DHCP (server's
Ethernet 1 interface default configuration). You need to know the IP address of the server.
Choose the appropriate method below:
Static IP Address
Using Static IP addresses to access the server's Settings menu:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable from one of the Ethernet interface of the server configured with a static
IP address to a computer.
2. Set the computer IP address to the IP: 192.168.10.200.
3. Open PuTTY or Tera Term on the computer or another ssh client application (MAC and Unix
operating systems usually include an ssh terminal).
4. In the Host box, enter the static IP address of the server: 192.168.10.11
5. In the Port box, enter 5322.
6. For the connection type (or service), tick ssh.
7. Click the Open (or OK) button.
8. Log in to the server to view the server's Settings Menu. User credentials vary depending upon
your firmware:

LiveGuest Configuration
When using a StreamHub to receive LiveGuest connections, some considerations should be taken with
the NAT (Network Address Translator) used between your StreamHub and the public internet. This is
done to ensure connectivity from any guest using the LiveGuest solution.
Your NAT should be configured as a Full Cone NAT or Address Restricted Cone NAT, to allow proper
connectivity from any remote guest. Port Restricted Cone NAT and Symmetric Cone NAT may
prevent proper connectivity of remote guests, depending on the Guest own network and NAT
configuration. More details on the NAT types may be found in the publicly available RFC 3489
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3489).
For more details concerning LiveGuest usage and configuration, please refer to (4.4) Managing a
Guest Interview using LiveGuest.
