- Observe the device on your router. it will get a hostname assigned "luna-fffe000000". Wait 1 minute and then power cycle the device, observe the device show up on router again with same hostname "luna-fffe000000", wait 1 minute and power cycle the device again. This time around you will observe the device get its actual hostname "luna-fffeXXXXXX" where XXXXXX would be the last 6 digits of your device Ethernet MAC address. Once completed, continue to onboard and license.

Verifying the Checksum (Optional but recommended):
After downloading the Luna Uniti firmware, you may want to verify the file's integrity, follow these steps:
-
Recalculate the checksum of the file using SHA256SUM.
-
Compare the recalculated checksum with the original checksum you stored earlier.
-
If both checksum match, the file hasn't been altered.
Lets take Luna Uniti Raspberry Pi variant firmware. To start verification, please run:
sha256sum -c checksum.BHS-Uniti-Alpha-1.20-GA-Release-2024-04-28-0559.img.xz.sha256This command will read the checksum from checksum.BHS-Uniti-Alpha-1.19-GA-Release-2024-04-20-420.img.xz.sha256, recalculate the checksum for BHS-Uniti-Alpha-1.19-GA-Release-2024-04-20-420.img.xz, and compare the two. If they match, it will display a message indicating that the checksum is OK. Otherwise, it will show an error message indicating a checksum mismatch.
