Network Config

Note

The Rhino Pi X1 device uses a 1WAN + 3LAN port configuration. To access the external network, connect the Ethernet cable to port 17 (see the Hardware Info section).

WAN Port Dynamic IP Configuration

If your development environment has a local network with a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to downstream devices, follow these steps to obtain a dynamic IP address.

The Rhino Pi X1 is set to DHCP by default, so it will obtain an IP automatically after connecting the Ethernet cable and powering on. On your Windows PC, press Win+R, type cmd, and in the terminal window run:

  • Enter adb shell to access the host system:
shell
adb shell
  • Run ifconfig eth0 to view the assigned IP address:
shell
ifconfig eth0

WAN Port Static IP Configuration

The Rhino Pi X1 supports static IP configuration. Follow these steps:

  • If the Ethernet cable is connected to the WAN port, set a static IP for eth0. On your Windows PC, press Win+R, type cmd, and run:
shell
adb shell
am broadcast -a a.e.c --es eth1 ia:s,ip:192.168.3.3,sm:255.255.255.0

💡Note

The IP address and subnet mask shown above are only for reference. Set them according to your actual network environment. Changes take effect after reboot.

Restoring Dynamic IP

  • To restore dynamic IP settings, on your Windows PC press Win+R, type cmd, and run:
shell
adb shell
am broadcast -a a.e.c --es eth1 ia:d

Wireless Wi-Fi Configuration

Tip

An antenna must be connected to the device when using Wi-Fi.

The Rhino Pi X1 supports Wi-Fi connectivity. To connect the board via local Wi-Fi, follow these steps:

  • After connecting the Windows PC to the board with a Type-C cable, open the screen mirroring software (QtScrcpy).

  • Once on the Android desktop via screen mirroring, left-click the Settings button to open the Android system settings.

  • Click Network & Internet.

  • Click Internet.

  • Enable WLAN and connect to the desired Wi-Fi network.

  • After the connection is established, run ifconfig wlan0 to view the assigned IP address:
shell
adb shell
ifconfig wlan0

LAN Port Settings

Using LAN Ports

The Rhino Pi X1's 3 LAN ports can connect to other network devices such as IP cameras, LiDAR, etc. Once connected, downstream devices will automatically receive an IP address in the 192.168.1.x/24 range, with gateway 192.168.1.1. The system bridge interface is br-lan, as shown below:

Modifying the LAN Subnet

The LAN subnet can also be customized. The steps are as follows:

  • Connect via adb and log into the system:
shell
adb shell
  • Obtain root privileges. Password: P@ssw0rd4aidlux
shell
su
  • Modify the subnet:
shell
/vendor/bin/lan_wan_config.sh set 1 192.168.2.1 1500
