		+	===Controlling the Pluto from a Web Browser===
		+
		+	Mike G8LES suggests these steps for controlling a Pluto with F5OEO firmware froma web browser:
		+
		+	8 In the Pluto config.txt the IP needs setting up in the USB section:
		+
		+	[USB_ETHERNET]
		+	ipaddr_eth = 192.168.1.62 (a free IP address on my LAN)
		+	netmask_eth = 255.255.255.0
		+	gateway_eth = 192.168.1.1 (matches my router)
		+
		+	* Save and eject USB device wait until fast light flashing stops on Pluto.
		+	* Using a USB micro to USB socket cable, plug the Pluto into the upstream end of a powered USB hub. On one of the downstream ports, connect the USB to RJ45 adapter.
		+
		+	It needs a USB hub with both the RJ45 network connector and a USBC power input socket. (The Pluto accepts power on the USB but does not deliver it so the flying lead on the hub will get no power from the Pluto)
		+
		+	* Power to USB Hub, Power to Pluto, network cable to USB hub.
		+	* Then type in http://192.168.1.62 in the browser and it opens up the F5OEO web interface

 ==Rebuilding a Pluto==
 Despite AD revising the PCB to cure the earth problems, I am still becoming quite an expert in bringing Plutos back to life.
 Below is the short sequence I follow which may be useful for others at some point.  Please follow each step carefully right to the end and your Pluto should live again.
