pinBox II
1 Introduction
The pinBox is a hardware box based on ARM technology (Raspberry Pi). It is connected to a local
area network, usually to a router or a switch. Appropriate port authorisations in the router/firewall will
allow access to any PC in the network via a browser.
.
Unlike a so-called VPN, the pinBox does not require any installations or configurations on the user
side. Moreover, it needs no browser extensions or other tools.
The combination of HTML5 technology and the Internet allows access -provided Internet is
available - to PCs, mobile devices and desktops of all operating systems. You just need a browser.
Access security is based on Internet standards such as HTTPS/SSL and the use of certificates. The
pinBox supports the free certificate system "Let's Encrypt" for free certificates. Furthermore, it also
supports so-called two-factor authentication via email or Google Authenticator.
The differences to pinBox I are described here:

The following documentation is based on the structure of the pinBox I, making it easier to switch to
the pinBox II.
pinBox II
2 Set-up
It is necessary to install the hardware and the software for the initial setup of the pinBox.
2.1 Scope of delivery and device features
The package includes the hardware box, a network cable and a power adaptor.
2.2 Safety
Please note the following safety instructions:
- Operate the pinBox in a dust-free and dry place away from direct sunlight with adequate
ventilation.
- The pinBox may only be operated inside buildings. Ensure that liquids do not enter the device.
- The pinBox must not be opened, as you may endanger yourself by improper opening.
pinBox II
2.3 Hardware installation
1.) Remove the pinBox from the packaging and connect it to a router, hub or switch using the
network cable.
2.) Connect the power adapter to the pinBox and the mains electricity supply.
Switch on the device.
3.) Wait approx. 2-3 minutes until the system is ready for operation.
pinBox II
2.4 Software installation
2.4.1 Determining the IP address
In order to access the web interface, the IP address must first be determined.
2.4.2 About the "Detection Tool"
Download the pinBox Detection Tool from the Pintexx Home Page.
The tool detects all corresponding networks and then starts determining the IP address.
If a pinBox system is found, a link with the IP address is displayed which allows direct access to the web
interface.
2.4.3 About the DOS box
Open a DOS box (right-click on Windows icon, run, "cmd" and enter "nslookup pinbox" in the box. The
IP address should then be displayed
2.4.4 Opening the admin tool
If the IP address is known, the system can be retrieved via
http://<IP Adresse>
in a browser.
pinBox II
When first logging in, the access portal for the user appears.
By default, 3 users are defined:
Login: user1-user3
Password: 12345678
pinBox II
3 Quick test
After commissioning, a demo configuration is set up.
Perform the following steps for the quick test:
1. Enter the pinBox <IP-Adresse>
2. Log in to the remote portal with
Login: user1
Password: 12345678
3. Go to the desktop app and start the connection displayed
Log in to the demo desktop with
Login: testuser1
Password: 12345678
pinBox II
4 Basics
The pinBox II is based on the pinApps platform and, therefore, includes the following apps:
System app
Applications app
Console app
User app
Remote app
The manuals for the respective apps can be found on the Pintexx homepage.
We, therefore, strongly recommend the documentation for:
pinApps - Getting started
pinApps - General information
pinApps - System app
pinApps - Applications app
pinApps - Users app
pinApps - Remote app
4.1 Start configuration
The pinBox is configured after startup so that all apps are functional.
The current IP address is automatically set in all apps.
The Users app (LDAP) is used as authentication. If an AD is to be used, this can be configured in the
Remote app admin under Settings -> Directory.
The remote maintenance console is disabled.
pinBox II
4.2 Additions
The individual apps have these accesses:
Link
App
<IP>/system
System app
<IP>/applications
Applications app
<IP>/console
Console app
(not released on first installation)
<IP>/ users
Users app admin
<IP>/remote
<IP>/remote/adminlogin
Remote app user
Remote app admin
User management is done by default in the Users app.
The connection is configured in the Remote app for this.
After setup, the following users are defined:
Remote portal:
Login: user1-user3
Password: 12345678
All admin accesses:
Login: administrator
Password: 12345678
