OpenClawWebChat Interaction

Method 1: Access via Local Browser

Open the terminal and enter the command to open WebChat:

openclaw dashboard

This command displays the token once, or you can find the ~/.openclaw/openclaw\.json file, where your token will be configured.

We connect to the motherboard system via desktop or VNC, open a browser, and enter the link given in the Dashboard URL. After opening, you can see the openclaw-tui chat history, and you can send content to openclaw for processing at the bottom.

Method Two: Access from Other Hosts on the Local Area Network

1. Modify the Configuration File

Modify the OpenClaw configuration file to allow other devices on the local network to access OpenClaw.

xxxxxxxxxx
openclaw config

Here, we select according to the following image (use the up and down arrow keys to select, and press Enter to confirm).

Note: Except for the Token, which can be different from the one in our image, everything else must be the same. The key is the "Gateway bind mode" setting. We need to set it to "LAN" to allow other devices on our local network to access our OpenClaw.

Finally, select "Continue" to confirm and press Enter. This completes the configuration!

2. Restart the Gateway

After completing the configuration, you need to restart the OpenClaw Gateway. Open a new terminal window and enter the following command:

xxxxxxxxxx
openclaw gateway restart

3. Obtain an Access Token

xxxxxxxxxx
openclaw dashboard

4. Establish an SSH Tunnel and Access via PC

On a PC connected to the same local area network (LAN), configure the environment to connect to the Jetson device.

Open the Cmd terminal on your computer (using Windows as an example: press Win+R to launch the Run utility, type cmd, and then press Enter).

Enter the following command into the console:

xxxxxxxxxx
ssh -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 jetson@<jetson-ip-address>

Note: You must replace <jetson-ip-address> with the actual IP address of your Jetson board.

After pressing Enter, you will be prompted to enter the password for the Jetson board (the default password for the factory image is yahboom).

Once this screen appears, it indicates that you have successfully connected to the Jetson.

5. Accessing via a Local Network PC

Open a web browser on your PC and enter the full address—including the IP and token—into the address bar (this is the address that was output by the openclaw onboard command earlier: https://127.0.0.1:18789/#token=xxxxxxxxxxxxx). If this interface appears, it confirms that the deployment was successful!

You can now interact with the system by entering text in the input field at the bottom of the page.
