Connecting to an OTTO 750/1500

OTTO self-driving vehicles (SDV) can be interfaced with on an individual basis using a computer and network cable.

Step 1 - Connect Network Cable

The Ethernet port is located in the attachment interface on top of the vehicle.

1. Using a network cable, connect your computer to the vehicle.

Step 2 - Set Computer Network Address

In order to connect a computer to an OTTO self-driving vehicle, the computer must have the following configurations:

• Network Address: 10.255.255.200
• Netmask: 255.255.0.0

The steps below outline how to do this on Linux and Windows 10 - for other operating systems, refer to the relevant documentation.

   The IP address entry depends on the vehicle model.
   
   You should receive a response similar to the following:

   

   OTTO SDV Ping Result

   Some older OTTO 1500 SDV models use a different IP address. If you're attempting to connect to an OTTO 1500 SDV and didn't receive a ping response using the above IP address, change your computer's static IP address to 10.252.252.20 and attempt pinging 10.252.252.1.

   If you're still unable to ping the OTTO 1500 SDV, contact OTTO Motors Support.

• • If you are configuring a single OTTO SDV that will not be added to a fleet using the OTTO Fleet Manager software, you can now Connect the Vehicle to Your Network.

  • If you are configuring an OTTO SDV that will be added to a fleet using the OTTO Fleet Manager software, the OTTO SDV must be on the same software version as the OTTO Fleet Manager.

    This task must be performed by a qualified technician. Instructions for qualified technicians are here: Installing Vehicle Software. Once the correct software version is loaded onto the OTTO SDV, you can Connect the Vehicle to Your Network.
