How to SSH into the RM2

SSH

An SSH connection allows you to connect to another computer or device from your PC.

To do that, you need an SSH client.

Once you will have the client, you will just need the IP address of the target host, and the credentials to login. With these data you can access the host through a terminal that will give you a shell (an sh shell in this case).

A shell is basically a command prompt in which you can issue commands on the device.

• You'll be prompted to enter username and password
• Enter root as username and the SSH password of you RM as password (you'll find it under Menu->Settings->Help->Copyright and licences)

• You'll be prompted for password
• Enter the SSH password of you RM (you'll find it under Menu->Settings->Help->Copyright and licences)
• You are in
