Resetting the X1 server network settings

If you can no longer connect to your server (for example, you cannot reach it via IP), you can reset its IP address by following this guide. You can set either a static IP or DHCP.

Prepare the USB flash drive

Step 1: get a USB flash drive formatted in FAT32.

Step 2: download the IP STATIC archive to set a static IP address, or DHCP IP to restore DHCP mode.

Step 3: extract the file from the compressed archive.

Step 4: copy the eve.settings.txt file to the formatted USB flash drive.

Step 5: remove the USB flash drive from the PC and insert it into the server USB port.

Step 6: you can restart the services to apply the settings, or restart the system.

Step 7: after the system restarts, wait 20 seconds, then disconnect the USB flash drive from the X1 server.

Step 8: the X1 server now applies the settings specified in the file previously copied to the USB flash drive.

How to edit eve.settings.txt

NETWORK_MODE=STATIC
Choose Static or DHCP.

NETWORK_IP=192.168.99.10
Enter the desired IP address.

NETWORK_MASK=255.255.255.0
Enter the desired subnet mask.

NETWORK_GATEWAY=192.168.99.1
Enter the desired gateway.

NETWORK_DNS1=192.168.99.1
Enter the primary DNS.

NETWORK_DNS2=8.8.8.8
Enter the secondary DNS.

Note: if NETWORK_MODE is set to DHCP, the system will be set to DHCP.

Database reset and replacement

Note: if a file named “db.eve” is present on the USB flash drive, it will replace the current project on the X1 server. You can use this method to install the same project on multiple servers.
