Configuring Shield

Shield

supports configuration via a web user

interface and via a command line interface.

The

Web User interface can be accessed via

HTTP or HTTPS using a standard web
browser.
Default

username: admin

Default

password: itus

The

command line interface can be accessed

via serial console or SSH (disabled by default).
Default

username: root

Default

password: itus

Additional Notes

In router mode, the web user interface can be accessed at 10.10.10.10

In bridge and gateway mode, Shield request an IP address from the DHCP server, then
attempt to set its IP to x.x.x.111 on the local network. So, if for example your LAN is
192.168.0.0/24, Shield will be accessible from 192.168.1.111.
(This may take up to 10 minutes to take effect.)

Continue holding reset button for 30 seconds.
After about 5 minutes the process will complete and Shield will
automatically reboot with default settings.
**Do not power off Shield during the factory reset process.
**Factory reset should only be initiated under the guidance of support.
