Test the custom container file
1. Add the new container to your IX14 device:
i. Log into the IX14 WebUI as a user with Admin access.
ii. From the main menu, click Status. Under Services, click Containers.
iii. Click Upload New Container.
iv. From your local file system, select the container file.
You can download a simple example container file, test_lxc.tgz, from the Digi website.

device for the container when it is installed. If deselected, you will need to create the
configuration manually.

2. Log into the IX14 command line as a user with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.
