Connecting to the server

Deployment options

The project can be deployed in two ways:

Option Description When to use it
Local Install on your PC Development, simulation, and debugging
Remote (server) Install on a dedicated server connected to the KUKA controller Working with the physical robot

With remote deployment, you control the server from your PC over an SSH connection.

SSH clients

Choose any of the following applications:

  • Termius — cross-platform SSH client with a convenient GUI;
  • MobaXterm — multifunctional terminal for Windows;
  • PuTTY — classic SSH client for Windows;
  • the built-in terminal or command prompt, as described below.

For instructions on configuring Termius, MobaXterm, or PuTTY, refer to their official documentation.

Connection details

IP address: 192.168.21.1
Username:   cobot
Password:   12345678

Network requirement

Your PC must be on the same network/subnet as the robot (for example, the KnASU network). Otherwise, the connection cannot be established.

Connecting from the built-in terminal

Any distribution can be used. Open a terminal and run:

ssh cobot@192.168.21.1

Windows 10 or later is required for the built-in SSH client. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and run:

ssh cobot@192.168.21.1

The command will prompt for a password:

cobot@192.168.21.1's password:

Enter 12345678. Characters are not displayed while you type; this is normal security behavior. Press Enter.

After a successful connection, the server command prompt appears:

cobot@server:~$
