Networking issues with out sensors are a common occurrence and is annoying for people with little network knowledge to debug. We would like to have most of the setup streamlined to minimize manual setup and debugging.
At the very least, the Rugged's interfaces require specific IP addresses in order to receive sensor data. Currently, people like to use the Network Manager GUI, but I strongly recommend against using it because nobody knows how to use it properly, it's free for anyone to configure, and there's no need to use it.
There are 2 ways to go about doing a proper setup:
To configure the Rugged's Ethernet interfaces with the desired configurations, edit /etc/network/interfaces to have the following stanzas. The interfaces are started (up) on boot, and are configured with the specified static addresses.
auto enp4s0f0
iface enp4s0f0 inet static
address 192.168.3.1/24
mtu 9100
auto enp4s0f1
iface enp4s0f1 inet static
address 169.254.0.19/24
This solution would be as easy as writing a script with the bare minimum commands:
ifconfig enp4s0f0 192.168.3.1/24
ifconfig enp4s0f0 mtu 9100
ifconfig enp4s0f1 169.254.0.19/24
