The WiFIG25 can support the RNDIS(Remote Network Driver Interface Specification), so when you connect the USB Cable to the PC, It provides a virtual Ethernet link from the PC to the WiFiG25 board via the USB connection., then we can use the SSH to connect the board via the virtual Etherent link.
For the First time using, you have to install the RNDIS driver on your Windows PC, if you use Linux system don't need to install the RNDIS driver.

To remotely access the WiFIG25 Board command line (shell) from a Windows PC it is available for free a very light application called putty.exe and freely downloadable from the PuTTY Download Page. It doesn't need to be installed, just download and run it.
If you can't download the putty from the website, you can find it in the CD://Tools/putty.exe
