You have to plug into it with an ethernet cable, then make sure your
network interface has an IP on the same subnet as 10.42.10.11, then ssh
into it.

so e.g:

  sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
  sudo ifconfig eth0 10.42.10.12 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
  ssh root at 10.42.10.12

then when you're done:

  sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start

and of course, as always, be careful you don't plug the PoE cable into your
laptop!
