When user plug such dongle into computer, it will auto connect to Internet and redirect to a web interface, when plug such dongle into the MS14, a new interface will appear (typically eth2eth2 or usb0) by running command "ifconfig -a"... -
Page 25: Linux System
Linux System The LG01 bases on OpenWrt Linux System. It is open source, and user are free to configure and modify the inside Linux settings. SSH Access for Linux console User can access to the Linux console via SSH protocol. Make sure your PC and the LG01 is in the same network, then use a SSH tool (such as putty) to access it. -
Page 26: Edit And Transfer Files
Edit and Transfer files The LG01 support SCP protocol and has a built SFTP server. There are many ways to edit and transfer files using these two protocols. One of the easiest is through WinSCP utility. After access via WinSCP to the device, use can use a FTP alike window to drag / drop files to the LG01 or Edit the files directly in the windows. -
