LAN Turtle Basics

The LAN Turtle is managed through the Turtle Shell – a text based, menu-driven graphical user interface accessible by SSH. The menus may be navigated using standard arrow, tab, escape and return keys as well as mouse in most terminals.

The Turtle Shell Configuration Menu provides the ability to change advanced settings such as Password, MAC address, IP address. Firmware updates may be checked for and installed as they become available.

By default the Turtle Shell will start at login via SSH unless disabled from the Configuration Menu.

Exiting the Turtle Shell returns the user to the LAN Turtle’s bash shell. To return to the Turtle Shell, run the “turtle” command.
