Setup Guide
Getting Started
- Plug in your CM5 board to your local network using an ethernet cable, and power it on
- The built-in WiFi hosts an open AP "sprlab-setup". Join the open AP and go to https://192.168.2.1 or https://spr.local
- Alternatively, visit https://spr.local to run through the UI setup. If the mDNS name does not resolve, check your router DHCP table or scan with ping/nmap
- The setup will guide you through configuring your SPR networking and adding your first device, as well as setting a UI password
Post Setup Tasks
- Optional: Enable a WiFi uplink
- Enable DNS Ad Blocking and other DNS Blocklists for the network
- Configure VPN Devices
- Configure service reachability under the Firewall Services tab
