Once an agent is configured as wireless, it will remain as a wireless agent. If you would like to reset the agent and convert it to wired, follow these steps:
For NetBeez branded agents:
- Plug the Agent into a power supply and wait two minutes to make sure the boot process completes.
- Remove the wireless card and unplug the Ethernet cable.
- When the agent appears as disconnected on the dashboard, delete the agent from the dashboard.
- Plug a mouse into any of the USB ports for 90 seconds.
- Unplug the mouse.
- Reboot the Agent by unplugging it from the power and waiting until all LEDs turn off, then plug it back in.
For RPi 3/3+
- Run the following command on your RPi using an ssh session:
-
curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netbeez/agent-installation/master/agent_setup.sh;
sudo bash agent_setup.sh --modify-interface - When prompted, choose to disable the wireless card.
-
- Unplug the agent from the network.
- When the agent appears as disconnected on the dashboard, delete the agent from the dashboard.
- Reboot the device and plug in the ethernet cable.
If you would like to revert the agent to wireless, please see this article:
Notes:
- You can convert any wireless agent to wired, but if you do not have a license for an additional wired agent, it will not connect to your dashboard.
- When the agent is reset from wireless to wired, both of its interfaces are converted to DHCP.
