Air Console

Installation

• Get driver from this link: http://support.get-console.com/support/solutions/articles/5000501221-airconsole-osx-drivers

• Install it, need to allow in System Preference and reinstall

• Check for the presence of the file /dev/cu.Airconsole-1 to verify that the driver has loaded correctly. If not:

• Load driver: sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/Airconsole.kext

• Open AirconsoleOSX in Application Folder and connect to use

Using Screen to access console

• screen /dev/tty.Airconsole-1

• screen -r to list sessions

• Ctrl_a, Ctrl_\ to quit

Using WIFI to connect to Airconsole has the same defaults regardless of operating system:

– SSID = Airconsole-XX where XX is the last 2 digits of units Mac Address – Password = 12345678 – Authentication = WPA2 Pre shared Key – 2.4Ghz band – IP: 192.168.10.1 – Credential: admin/admin

Using Ethernet – connect Airconsole to LAN or directly to PC/Mac via Ethernet cable. Airconsole operates by default as DHCP server so will allocate client an IP address 192.168.10.x

• Browse to Airconsole’s Web terminal at http://192.168.10.1/terminal.asp

• Other settings are the same as Wifi

Uninstallation

• The installer has created two packages that need to be deleted – a kernel level driver at /Library/Extensions/Airconsole.kext – a user mode application at /Applications/AirconsoleOSX.app

1. Ensure that the driver has been unloaded – this can be done by opening a terminal prompt and entering the following sudo kextunload /Library/Extensions/Airconsole.kext

2. Delete the driver file using the command sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/Airconsole.kext

3. Delete the AirconsoleOSX file by dragging it to the Trash icon from Finder
