Always in the page we see the board WAN IP address (if connected through the network cable), and the WiFi section configuration (by default active and pre-configured as an access point with its own static IP).
On page top right, we have the buttons to access the three main system configuration sections: “SYSTEM”, “SENSORS” and “UPGRADE”. Click on “SYSTEM”, which will open the SYSTEM configuration section, similar to Arduino Yun and Linino one. On this page we configure the correct Time Zone (Europe / Rome), and select the “Open” check box in the “Rest API Access”. We confirm the settings by clicking the big “CONFIGURE & RESTART” button and wait for the system reconfiguration, which takes a few minutes.
We reconnect to the shield, then click on the “advanced configuration panel” button and enter the administration panel. From the top menu pages, we can access all the different sections.
If we go to “Network” and “WIFI”, click on “Edit” button and scroll down the page we find the section to configure the interface in different modes (Access Point, Client, Ad Hoc, etc.). Other configuration sections allow us to set access security (Firewall), static routing, DHCP and DNS.
So, we have a powerful device that allow us to solve any connectivity demand from a wide range of applications.
