# Logging into your Sentinel

This is only relevant if you have a WiFi connection and the Sentinel-modem

## Setting up the modem

For this you need a working WiFi connection (or Hotspot) without a secondary verification e.g. hotel Wifi with a login page

{% hint style="info" %}
This process repeats your WiFi to a network that Sentinel knows (called sentinel-net). This allows the Sentinels to always look for the same network wherever they are
{% endhint %}

1. Plug-in provided modem via micro USB cable
2. Connect to sentinel-net (PW: endextinction)
3. Open the browser and navigate to 192.168.8.1 (PW: endextinction)

4. Click the Scan button, and connect to your WiFi network

5. Check that you are both connected to sentinel-net network and that a webpage loads

You will only have to do this process once.

### Running Sentinel update commands

{% hint style="info" %}
The Sentinel team strives not to require users to see a single line of code. For this part, we aren't quite there. Sorry 😢 we are working on it...
{% endhint %}

#### Mac/Linux/<mark style="color:purple;">Windows</mark>

1. Open Terminal (Mac: found inside Finder/Utilities, <mark style="color:purple;">Windows: Powershell</mark>)&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have a Windows computer that is not fully updated, you may have to[ install OpenSSH](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse?tabs=gui)
{% endhint %}

2. Attach a power source to the Sentinel (the microUSB or 18650 batteries).
3. Turn on Sentinel&#x20;
4. Verify that the Sentinel is connected to Sentinel-net (during boot-up the Sentinel shoudl show a stable blue light at some point):

5. ssh into the sentinel: (change out {device-name} for your device name (i.e.,jumping-nexus, etc.) by typing into your terminal:

```
ssh root@{device-name}.local
```

6. When the Sentinel is connected to WiFi and you managed to successfully ssh into it, a password prompt will show (PW: endextinction)
7. Type "debug\_on" into the terminal and press enter. (This will put it in debug mode - you have to be very quick!)
8. Copy in the command that the Conservation X Labs engineer gave you.

```
// Some code 
```

{% hint style="info" %}

#### What is this doing?

1. Remotely accessing the Sentinel computer.&#x20;
2. Putting the device in debug mode (so the device doesn't shutdown)
3. Updates the device to the latest code
4. Updates the settings to the latest requirements
5. Changes/updates the model&#x20;
