-{{page>meta:infobox:construction&noheader&nofooter&noeditbtn}}+**Caswell CAD-0208** (also known as **AppNeta m30** and probably by a few other names) is a four-port network appliance. It was designed to work as a network monitor in digital telephony applications, so its designers made a couple of non-mainstream choices to fit the design to purpose. Specifically:
  
-//Write shortrelevant description of the device. Include technical overview, but avoid marketing buzzwords/useless stuffTwo to four sentences is about right. A picture is goodtoo. Edit the page to see how to add pictures.//+  * The device has four Ethernet ports grouped into two pairs. Each pair can be configured (in BIOS) to work in the bypass mode. This is something that needs to be addressed before installing OpenWrt (see **BIOS Settings** below). 
 +  * The Wi-Fi card is Intel 6230, meaning, it does not support the access point mode (wireless access was probably intended for administrative use only). As result, the device in its original form cannot be used as wireless router, but can conceivably be used as a wireless bridgeHowever, the Wi-Fi card is removable, and its mount accepts both half-size and full-size cards, so it should be possible to replace the Intel card with something that supports at least the N standard (AC and AX should be possible as well).
  
-<WRAP BOX> +In terms of administrative access, the CAD-0208 is pretty spartan; the only option is the RJ-45 console. The console is well-behaved, so a USB-to-RJ-45 console cable can be used.
-FIXME Any text with a light background (like this one) provides instructions for creating the Details Page. When you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) **remove the instructionsas well as the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it.** +

-/*****/ +Power-wise, the device expects 12V 3.33 A over a 5.5-mm barrel connector.

-<WRAP BOX> +Hardware components include an Intel Atom D510 processor (located on the bottom side of the main board), a stick of RAM (the test unit came with strangely generous 4 GB, so it is possible this was an upgrade done by the previous owner)an Intel 82583V Ethernet controller, and an Intel 6230 Wi-Fi controller. Primary storage can be a CF card (there is a slot for it on the main board) or a SATA drive (there's a set of SATA connectors and a set of standoffs, but a mounting tray may or may not be present).
-FIXME +
-===== Getting started with a new Device Page ===== +
-  - This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This meansthat **you have to fill it with life and information.** +
-  - There are several "fixme" tags with text on light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the pageremove those tags so that people can judge its completeness. +
-  - When there are no more "fixme" tags left, delete this one tooalong with the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it.+
  
-===== Keep the articles modular ===== +{{:media:caswell:cad-0208-mainboard.jpg?direct&400|}} 
-  Please include only model specific informationomit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles + 
-  If you have no time to write certain stufflink to [[docs:start]] +===== BIOS Settings ===== 
-  * [[docs:guide-user:base-system:start]] should lead the way, do not explain this again + 
-  DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead //groom// the [[docs:start|general documentation]]. +Before attempting OpenWrt installation, you should make sure that bypass settings are not going to interfere with OpenWrt operation. To do that, open a console connection **at 19200 bps**, boot the device, and press the **Tab** key repeatedly until you get the main BIOS screen. Once therepress the **right arrow** key once; this will get you to the **Advanced** screen that will look like this:

-  - If the tables below show information for ''<nowiki>Caswell CAD-0208 </nowiki>'', everything is OK and you can delete this text and the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. +

-    - the dataentry page for Caswell CAD-0208  is missing. Please [[meta:create_new_dataentry_page|create a new dataentry page]] first, then reload this page. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. +
-    filters are not set correctly. Most common reason for "Nothing found": The dataentry does not contain a Versionbut we are filtering here for version -> Please **edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand, Model and Version.** In case the dataentry does not contain versiondelete the line ''filter  : Versions~''. Just try, it's easy. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. +
-  - If the tables still contain "Nothing found": Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and [[:contact|contact a wiki admin]] (tmomas) for help+

 +Download the image of your choice, write is onto a CF card (which can be as small as 128 MB) or a SATA drive, install the card or drive into the device, and it should boot with no issues. In the unlikely case wired networking doesn't work out of the box, install the **kmod-e1000e** package; this should fix the problem.
 +
 +Note that the 64-bit OpenWrt expects to communicate over the console connection **at 115200 bps**, which is different from the connection speed expected by BIOS. So you should connect at 19200 bps if you want to get into BIOS, but at 115200 is you intend to manage OpenWrt.
