→Connect to IGEP device
=== Connect to IGEP device ===
Now you are ready to log into IGEP via its Ethernet interface. You just need a program with a SSH client.
In this tutorial we are going to use Putty, as it is a multi-platform program.
You can download it from its official page at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Install and run Putty. It will look like this:

Follow these steps to connect to IGEP:
# Select the '''SSH''' at connection type.
# Insert the '''IP address of the target''' (IGEP default IP: 192.168.5.1)
# Ensure that the port is set to '''22''', the default for SSH communications.
# Finally, press the '''Open button''' to start the SSH session.
If everything goes right, you will be able to access to an IGEP console from your PC via Ethernet.
To login IGEP use:
user:root
password: (no password for this user: press return)

In the pre-installed software, the default configuration for all the network interfaces is:
*eth0 - 192.168.5.1
*eth0:0 - via dhcp
*wlan0 - 192.168.6.1
*usb0 - 192.168.7.1
By default, the IP of the Ethernet interface is 192.168.5.1
Once you are logged in, you can see which interfaces are up in IGEP.
In the SSH console, run:
ifconfig
It will list all the active network interfaces.
If you want to change, for example, ''eth0'' you can use the following commands (if you do it now, it will close the SSH session, as it will change the Ethernet IP):
ifconfig eth0 < new IP >
In order to make permanent changes (save the configuration upon next start), you will have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file in your IGEP.
