A WLAN router is installed on Ridgeback and has a network address in 192.168.131.* range. As Clearpath is also on range 192.168.131.* for this reason router is also set on the same network. SSID of the Wifi network is MBS - MAXPLANCK - RP and the password is mybotshop2022!.

The ip address of the router is 192.168.131.100 (password for the router network is also mybotshop2022). By connecting to the Wifi network one can access Ridgeback on ip address 192.168.131.1. Moreover if a static connection is desired than setting for the host PC in the same network will also work. For example by setting 192.168.131.51 in the ip and 255.255.255.0 in netmask for the static connection will connect to the Ridgeback network as well. To SSH into Ridgeback run the following command:

ssh administrator@192.168.131.1

The password for the robot is clearpath.
