## Network Setup
Each eRTIS device has an RJ45 connector for ethernet.
The device by default will have two connection modes:
- If connected to a network with DHCP, it will automatically connect and receive a dynamic IP. Please check your router or use a network discovery tool to find out the IP given to the eRTIS device.
- If no DHCP connection could be made, the eRTIS device will automatically fall back to a static IP. This for example will happen when directly connecting the eRTIS device to your computer. The static IP will always by default be **192.168.1.150**. Which means that to connect to it, you will need to put your computer also in the 192.168.1.X/24 range.
## Login methods
### SSH - command line access
The easiest way to connect directly to the eRTIS device is over SSH from your terminal or other command line interface. Once you know the IP of the eRTIS device you can connect to it with
```bash
ssh USERNAME@IP.OF.eRTIS.DEVICE
```
Please use the username and fill in the password that were given to you by a Cosys-Lab member and you will be connected to the eRTIS device.
### XRDP - visual interface
If you prefer to have a visual interface with a desktop environment you can use the XRDP interface.
On Linux you can use a tool such as [_Remmina Remote Desktop Client_](https://remmina.org/). Make sure to use True color (32bpp) mode or lower. On Windows you can use the [_Remote Desktop Connection_](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-remote-desktop-5fe128d5-8fb1-7a23-3b8a-41e636865e8c) application.
## Altering Network Setup
If you would like to change the network setup to for example change the default static IP used or disable the automatic DHCP connection you can change the configuration files of the used Network Manager.
These configuration files can be found in `/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/`.
There you will find the two default configuration settings called `WiredDHCP` and `WiredStatic`.
For example to change the default static IP you can alter the line in `WiredStatic` that will set the IP:
```bash
address1=192.168.1.150/24,192.168.1.1
```
