For this example, we use the Putty program, a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console, and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, and Telnet.

  1. Type the IP of your device, as shown below.
  2. Click Open to gain remote access.
    Putty
  3. Then, in the request, login as “user” and press Enter on your keyboard.
    login as user
  4. The Player’s SSH password will be requested. The password can be found in the Portal, under the Monitors Section, by clicking the “Advanced –> Security tab”.
  5. Type the password that is prompted as “WiFi Support Password”.
      Hashed password If the password is of this form “*****”, the password is hashed for security reasons. Do not copy-paste this text. You have to type the not-hashed password that you set earlier.
    • ⚠️If you do not remember the password you have set, re-type a new one and click “Save.” The player needs to be Online to get the new password. You will notice a Configuring message at the bottom of your screen. After that message disappears, try to SSH the device again with your new password.
  6. Putty password
  7. Upon completing this, you should be able to see the image below.
