Once you have all the necessary email information, choose your favourite method of sending command line queries or the one that is currently available to you and log in to your router accordingly. The most common methods of doing so are '''[[CLI]]'''('''Command Line Interface''') and '''SSH'''.

'''Note''': in further examples of this guide we will be demonstrating how to send email using SSH. Feel free to follow the guide step by step whichever method you choose, because the commands used are identical and the only thing that is different is the GUI (Graphical User Interface).

To log in to a RUT router via SSH, download the free '''PuTTY''' app if you're using Windows; if you're using a Linux based OS, just use the '''Terminal''' app. In both cases you will need to know three things: the router's LAN IP address, user name and password. The default LAN IP address for all RUT routers is '''192.168.1.1'''; the default login information is user name: '''root'''; password: '''admin01''' (NOTE: the user name used for SSH connections (i.e., root) is not the same as the user name used to log in to the router's WebUI (i.e., admin)).

If you're using PuTTY, enter the router's LAN IP address into the '''Host Name (or IP address)''' field, select SSH Connection type and click '''Open''':

If you made changes to your router's LAN IP address or log in name, replace the relevant data in the command above so that it is correct for your specific case. After executing this command you will prompted with a query that says "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?". Type '''yes''', press "Enter" and type in your router's admin password. If everything went successfully, you should be greeted with a window such as this:
