'''Configure'''Open a Terminal session and set the IP of the Ethernet interface in which IGEP is connected (for example eth0):
You can log into IGEP via many *In the file /etc/network/interfaces, such Serial, Wifi, USB-you should add:<pre>iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0:0 inet staticaddress 192.168.5.10netmask 255.255.255.0</pre> *Type in a terminal:<pre>sudo ifup eth0:0</pre> *Revise that:<pre>jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ ifconfig...eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet Gadget, etc HWaddr 08:00:27:ad:0c:ad inet addr:192.168.5.10 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1...</pre>*Connect to IGEP device
In this tutorial we are going to connect to the board via its Ethernet interface jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ ssh root@192.168.5.1
By default, all IGEP Processor boards have a '''static IP in their Ethernet interface which is 192.168.5.1'''
 
First of all, adjust the IP of your PC in order to be in the right subnet of IGEP, for example: 192.168.5.10
 
'' Linux: ''
 
'''NOTE:''' You don't need to configure anything if you use [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/IGEP_SDK_Virtual_Machine IGEP SDK Virtual Machine]
 
If you are running Linux in your PC, open a Terminal session and set the IP of the Ethernet interface in which IGEP is connected (for example eth0):
 
Run the following commands:
 
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.10 up
 
'' Windows: ''
 
If you are running Windows in your PC, depending of your OS version and your configuration the steps might be slightly different:
 
# Click the '''Start button''' and select the '''Control Panel'''
# Go to '''Network configuration'''
# Right click the interface where IGEP is connected (for example: Local Network) and select '''Propierties'''
# Select the '''TCP/IP Internet Protocol''' configuration and click the '''Propierties button'''
# Set a static IP (192.168.5.10) and 255.255.255.0 as network submask
# Close all the dialogs
 
 
'''Connect'''
 
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:
 
[[Image:Putty ssh.png|center]]
 
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)
 
 
''' Know more '''
 
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.
