# Configuring Cloud C²

{% hint style="danger" %}
April 2024: If your C2 server is configured with HTTPS, you will **need to apply the** [**SSL Update**](/screen-crab/getting-started/2024-ssl-update.md)
{% endhint %}

## Cloud C² Configuration

To get the most out of your Screen Crab, configure your device to connect to your Cloud C2 instance; This way you'll be able to  to remotely view configure and manage the device - all through the web.

To configure your Screen Crab to connect to your Cloud C2 instance follow these simple steps:

1. Download the `device.config` from Cloud C2 
2. Copy the `device.config` to the root of the MicroSD card
3. Configure `config.txt` on the MicroSD card for wireless

For the best performance using your Screen Crab connected to Cloud C2, use a `config.txt` that **only** contains the wireless options below 

## WiFi Configuration

The two WiFi parameters are:

* `WIFI_SSID` – the network name<br>
* `WIFI_PASS` – the WPA-PSK password

Any characters after these variables will be used as the values. Special considerations must be made for WiFi network names and passwords containing special characters.

For example:

```
WIFI_SSID This is my network
WIFI_PASS The P@$$word is 1337!!
```

Should be escaped:

```
WIFI_SSID This is my network
WIFI_PASS The P\@\$\$word is 1337\!\!
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
**To fully reset your Screen Crab's wireless configuration:** remove the `WIFI_SSID` and `WIFI_PASS` parameters from your`config.txt`and fully reboot your device before attempting to reconfigure.
