If your IGEP Processor Board has '''wifi interface''' you can connect to it.
You can open a SSH session in your computer and interact with your Board from your console. Here is how to.

| If this is your first time accessing your IGEP Processor Board, it is highly recommended that you [[Update the PRE-INSTALLED software image to a current release|update your pre-installed software image to a recent release]] to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes.

..or you can directly:
=== Download Boot and Rootfs ===
You can download the boot partition and the rootfs partition packages from here:
{{Message/Broken Links}}
*[http://downloads.igep.es/files/IGEP_Mod_linaro/boot-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2 Boot Partition]
*[http://downloads.igep.es/files/IGEP_Mod_linaro/rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2 Root File System]<br>
<br>
=== Create a Boot MicroSD Card<br> ===
Now create a Boot MicroSD Card using the two packages above. Follow this HowTo from the IGEP Wiki:
*[[How to boot from MicroSD Card|How to boot from MicroSD Card]]. '''Note''': Just follow the 2nd point “Preparing the MicroSD Card” to create the two partitions needed.
<br>
Uncompress and untar the file ''boot-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2'' in the '''boot partition''' and the file ''rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2'' in the '''rootfs partition''' of your MicroSD Card.<br>
== Configure the network<br> ==
To configure the wireless network in your IGEP Processor Board, you need to edit the ''/etc/network/interfaces'' file '''in your IGEP Processor Board''' (not your computer).
To edit this file, remove the MicroSD from your IGEP device and insert it to your host PC.
The MicroSD has two partitions: boot and rootfs. They are mounted in your '/media/' directory when you insert your MicroSD card to the host PC.
So, the path to the ''interfaces'' file will be like: ''/media/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces''
Append this text file with the following commands:
<pre> # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo wlan0
iface lo inet loopback
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid '''<put here your Access Point SSID>'''
wpa-ap-scan 2
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk '''<put here your AP key*>'''
</pre>
<br>
Complete the gaps with the missing information from your network configuration.<br>
To set the same wpa-psk from your access point, execute this command in your PC (with wifi):<br>
<pre>wpa_passphrase "Access Point Name" "WPA2 Pass Phrase"
</pre>
This command gives you the '''wpa-psk key''' and you can replace it at the space from the file mentioned above: ''wpa-psk <put here your AP key*> ''<br>
<br>
This configuration enables the wifi and automatically '''gets the IP from DHCP by default'''.<br>
Therefore, when you boot the IGEP board you might have to get its IP from your Access Point, maybe in its management console or page if provided.
=== Using static IP<br> ===
If you wish to use a static IP then you should change at the same interfaces file:
<pre># interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo wlan0
iface lo inet loopback
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid <put here your AP SSID>
wpa-ap-scan 2
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk <put here your AP key>
address 192.168.1.44
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
</pre>
You are now ready to [[Using SSH to communicate|connect to your board via SSH]], for example.
<br>
Remember that the SSH connection details for this package are:<br>
<pre>Username: root
Password: letmein</pre>
