AJA Bridge Live power control uses IPMI instead of Wake-on-LAN. Use SSH to prepare the IPMI user, then add the AJA LAN IPMI address and credentials in the app.

Log in to the ABL CLI

ssh transcoder@<abl-ip-address>

Find the IPMI LAN address

sudo ipmitool lan print

Confirm the admin user number

The admin user is usually user 2, but confirm it before changing the password.

sudo ipmitool user list

Set or reset the IPMI password

sudo ipmitool user set password 2

Enable admin IPMI access

sudo ipmitool user enable 2
sudo ipmitool channel setaccess 1 2 link=on ipmi=on callin=on privilege=4

Fix channel cipher suites

Allow the standard LAN channel cipher suites and explicitly permit cipher suite 3.

sudo ipmitool channel setaccess 1 2 callin=on ipmi=on link=on privilege=4
sudo ipmitool raw 0x06 0x40 0x01 0x42 0x44

Add the device in the app

Click ABL and enter the device name, the AJA LAN 1 IPMI IP, the AJA IP address and the IPMI username and password. Passwords are saved on this computer with the rest of the app settings.
