Login

This section explains how to log in to the controller’s Web-Based Management (WBM) interface. From the WBM, you can configure network settings, update admin credentials, and install the required applications. Follow the steps below to get started.

Connect Laptop

Use an Ethernet cable to connect your laptop directly to the DCIDE Controller. The connection method varies depending on your DCIDE Controller version:

• DCIDE Controller: Connect your laptop directly to the DCIDE Controller using any of the two Ethernet ports located at the bottom of the controller.

  

• DCIDE Controller Panel: Connect your laptop to the Ethernet connection port at the bottom of the panel. This port is directly connected to the network switch inside the DCIDE Controller panel.

Setup Laptop

Set your laptop to the same IP range as the DCIDE Controller. This is required to access the DCIDE Controller’s Web-Based Management (WBM) interface.

The default IP address of the DCIDE Controller is 192.168.1.10.

Temporarily change your laptop’s IP settings to be in the same range as the controller’s IP address. To do this, open the network settings on your laptop and either change or add a new static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. For example:

• IP address: 192.168.1.5
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

Below is explained how to change or add the network settings for Windows and Mac.
