Control Server Administrator Login¶
The Administrator login for Control Server is where management of applications and their licenses, user accounts and permissions, and network configurations are made.
The default login credentials for the administrator account are:
Username:** Admin**
Password:** Password**
Note: If using Microsoft Edge for Control Server administration, it may be necessary to both specify the port at the end of the Control Server's IP address in the URL as well as adding an 's' to http. Example: https://192.168.1.50*:80 *Once you have tried to navigate to the former IP (it will fail), you may now enter the original IP normally (without the 's' and :80). Every time you clear your browser cache, this procedure will be necessary.
