Hardware
There's a sticker on the outside: FC:C2:3D:0F:3A:24 v1.0d
You can screw off the bottom, to reveal an ethernet port and an USB-B port. It gets power through a power-over-ethernet cable
Software
Connect a USB A-to-B cable to the USB-B port. Open a serial terminal at 115200 bits to /tty/ACM0 (typically)
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
Configuration
network
See /etc/network/interfaces. Add:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
packages
Packages are maintained with opkg.
