Hint: The credentials are also available at the Label on the Router
¶ Router Settings Access
To connect to the C1 and get access to the router settings please follow these steps:
- Connect to the Wi-Fi as described above
- Open a web browser
- Enter the IP address 192.168.100.1
- The Username is admin and the password admin
¶ Sim Card
To add a SIM Card to the olixLink™ C1 follow these steps
- Insert your SIM card into one of the two SIM card slots on the olixLink™ C1.
- Connect your device to the olixLink™ C1.
- Open a web browser and navigate to: http://192.168.100.1
- When prompted, enter the SIM card PIN to unlock the card
- Log In to the Router Interface (username: admin, pw: admin)
- Go to 5G Network → 5G Info to check the SIM card’s connection status
- Check on the ROS2 Status Topic (/olive/olixLink/c1/id001/status) if SIM Card is up
- Open the CLI (Command Line Interface) and test connectivity
ping 8.8.8.8 - In the network settings, change the Network Latency Address to a reliable host (e.g., Google DNS:
8.8.8.8

¶ ROS 2 and DDS Integration
¶ General
The OlixLink™ C1 device provides its own ROS 2 node that publishes a status topic to report the current state of the unit. Once the connection to the router is established, the node publishes to the topic: /olive/olixLink/c1/id001/statuswith the message type diagnostic_msgs/msg/DiagnosticArray
This node is natively integrated with Eclipse Cyclone DDS, but the status topic remains discoverable and accessible even if the host system is using a different DDS implementation.
Since by default the LAN is selected by cyclone as primary ROS 2 network. You will mostlikely not see the status topic. But you can change the interface by a config. Following config is an example config to select right network
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CycloneDDS xmlns="https://cdds.io/config"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="https://cdds.io/config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds/master/etc/cyclonedds.xsd">
<Domain Id="any">
<General>
<Interfaces>
<!-- Please select your interface name which is connected
with the OlixLink C1 -->
<NetworkInterface name="wlp8s0"/>
</Interfaces>
<AllowMulticast>true</AllowMulticast>
</General>
</Domain>
</CycloneDDS>
Then set the configs
ros2 daemon stop
export CYCLONEDDS_URI=file:///path/to/cyclone_c1.xml
ros2 daemon start
The Status message contains following information:
¶ WiFi 5G and WiFi 2.4G Status
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| ESSID | The WiFi name |
| Frequency | The frequency of the WiFi |
| Signal level | How good is the signal of the WiFi in dBm |
| Received data | Received data in bytes per second |
| Transmitted data | Received data in bytes per second |
¶ Memory Status
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Memory | Total memory in kB |
| Used memory | Used memory in kB |
| Remaining memory | free memory in kB |
¶ Sim Card Status
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | Sim Card is available or not, Values: UP | DOWN |
| Received data | Received data in bytes per second |
| Transmitted data | Received data in bytes per second |
¶ Network Latency
An IP address can be configured through the ROS 2 parameters. Once set, the OlixLink™ C1 status node will periodically measure and report the latency between the device and the specified IP address, providing valuable network performance insights as part of its diagnostic data.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| IP Address | Shows the chosen IP address |
| Latency | Latency in ms |
¶ ROS 2 Configurations
The ROS 2 Configuration can be changed via Web GUI.
ros2 configs v2 c1 video
- Connect your device to the olixLink™ C1
- Open a web browser and navigate to: http://192.168.100.1
- Log In to the Router Interface (username: admin, pw: admin)
- In the sidebar, click on ROS 2 Settings. (if not available press F5)
- On the Web GUI now you can change the ROS 2 Domain ID, the topic namespace, the latency address and select an ntp/ptp server
Here is a more detailed description of those parameters
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| ROS Domain ID | Change the ROS domain ID of the router |
| Name Space | Change the Name Space of the C1 status topic |
| Check Latency Address | Add an IP address to check the latency |
| Local NTP / PTP Server | Add IP address of an ntp server to sync the C1 time with your host system time |
¶ Firmware Update
To update the firmware of the olixLink™ C1 follow these steps:
- Connect your device to the olixLink™ C1
- Open a web browser and navigate to: http://192.168.100.1
- Log In to the Router Interface (username: admin, pw: admin)
- In the sidebar, click on ROS 2 Settings. (if not available press F5)
- Switch to the Firmware Update tab
