### Remote access using SSH

Alternatively, connect to the Jetson remotely from a computer on the same local network

```bash
ssh <user>@<JETSON_IP>         # e.g. ssh jetson@192.168.10.x
```

### Install the Monogoto Connectivity SDK

Run the following command on the Jetson:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://gitlab.com/monogoto-labs/jetson-sdk/-/raw/main/jetson_tool.sh | sudo bash
```

### Verify the SDK Installation

The installation enables the dashboard and connectivity monitoring services. Run the following command to verify the SDK installation and view the available network interfaces:

```bash
monogoto-connect status
```

### Connect the SIM8230G USB Adapter

* [ ] Insert the Monogoto SIM into the adapter.
* [ ] Install the SIMCom SIM8230G RedCap module in the M.2-to-USB adapter.
* [ ] Connect the LTE/5G antenna.
* [ ] Connect the USB adapter to the NVIDIA Jetson.

### Configure the Cellular Connection

Replace `<APN>` with the APN assigned to the SIM’s Things Group in the Monogoto Hub.

Run the following command the first time you connect a new physical module

```bash
sudo monogoto-connect up --apn data.mono
```

### Open the dashboard

From a computer connected to the same local network, open

```bash
http://<JETSON_IP>:8181
```
