Mad Developer Help

Mad Developer provides developer access to this device and works in stateless mode. When you restart Mad Developer, all configuration information is set to default values. In this case the system state is not changed, the current IP addresses are preserved and DHCP server for usb0 keeps running.

Connecting using USB

To connect your device to your computer using USB:

1. Plug in USB cable to device and computer.

Editing USB connection configuration

To edit the USB connection configuration, tap Edit on usb0 line. To change the configuration mode, tap DHCP server:

• DHCP server is the default mode:
  • DHCP server is in use.
  • Host IP address (192.168.2.15) and netmask (255.255.255.0) are set.
  • Peer IP address (192.168.2.14) is set for DHCP server to use.
• DHCP client mode: You cannot edit the network configuration settings. Use this mode if your host computer is specially set up as DHCP server for this device.
• Static mode: Use this mode if:
