With the LAN Turtle plugged into the user’s PC, an SSH connection is usually initiated by issuing “ssh root\@172.16.84.1” from the terminal. ``` ssh root@172.16.84.1 ``` ### WINDOWS Since Microsoft does not bundle an SSH client with Windows by default, Windows users are encouraged to use the open source PuTTY client from: > Please Note: for the best experience, choose ISO-8859-1 Remote character set from Window > Translation. Otherwise the menu outlines may seem garbled. ### ANDROID For quick access and configuration changes in the field, the LAN Turtle’s Shell can be accessed from an Android Tablet or Smartphone by using a USB OTG cable and SSH client. [ConnectBot](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.connectbot\&hl=en) is a free open source Secure Shell client available in the Google play store. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
