First steps

The following chapter describes the basic first steps with Beckhoff RT Linux^®. An industrial PC with a pre-installed Beckhoff RT Linux^® operating system or alternatively a current image for installing the operating system is required.

First system startup

Connect all network cables to the industrial PC and switch on the power supply. If you have connected a monitor to the device, you will see the boot screen.

During the boot phase of Beckhoff RT Linux^® various messages will appear, ending with the login prompt. Log in to the console with user "Administrator" and password "1". The password should be changed immediately after logging in (see: Change default password).
