# Terminal connection

It is possible to connect to Linux OS running on S2GW using a terminal connection.

This terminal connection can be used to modify the hardware or software settings, check the logs etc. These modifications can be done remotely, if you connect to the network via Remote Desktop or Teamviewer.

Please note that Linux interprets small and capital letters as different characters so it is important to use a correct case in commands.

You have to know the unit IP address to use this method. The methods to find it are described in [Find S2GW IP address](/s2gw-installation-manual/advanced_use/find_s2gw_ip_address.md).

The method to connect is described in [Putty](/tools-for-sbc-products/console-access/putty.md).
