Add your computer to the DHCP server

  • Connect to the RSX network. The password is the 6-character RSX password typed twice.

  • Under Client Name, select your computer. For the IP Address, choose one between 192.168.1.70 and 192.168.1.254 that is not already taken. Hit the Add button, then hit Apply at the bottom of the page.

  • Reboot your computer and the router to update the IP assignment.

Update the hosts file

  • On your computer, run the command
sudo su
sudo echo "192.168.1.50 jetson" >>  /etc/hosts
exit

This adds the Jetson to your hosts file, so you can connect to it using jetson instead of it's full IP address, 192.168.1.50.

  • On the Jetson, run the commands
sudo su
sudo echo "192.168.1.75 my-computer-name" >>  /etc/hosts
exit

Replacing 192.168.1.75 with the IP address you chose for your computer, and my-computer-name with a simple name for your computer in lower-case and with no spaces.
