SSH Access - Almond+ 2014

Test Dropbear to ensure you can gain access.. Here is code segment of my access from my Linux laptop.

You'll note that it did not prompt for the "root" password. This is because I took the time to add my Laptop's SSH Public key to the Routers
Both OS X and Linux provide an "SSH" command, which can be accessed from "Terminal", "XTerm" etc. Microsoft isn't so kind, but Windows users can download PuTTY (a freely available SSH client for multiple platforms) and use that as the SSH client.
