9.1 Getting connected
Follow these steps to log in to your iCOMPEL:
1. Make sure that the iCOMPEL is connected to your network. You may need to speak to the person responsible for
managing your network.
2. Make sure that the iCOMPEL is connected to a power supply, and if it is connected to a Screen make sure that some
content is showing. (If the iCOMPEL output is not being displayed, please refer to the troubleshooter ).
3. Open a web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) on a computer that is connected to the
network and in the Address bar type in either the IP address of the iCOMPEL or its local Address.
4. In the browser, you are prompted for a username and password. (If you are not prompted for a username and password,
please refer to the troubleshooter ). The factory-set default username is remote and factory-set default password is
9999.
5. If the username and password are correct, then you can now see the iCOMPEL home page in the browser. You are now
connected to the iCOMPEL. (If the iCOMPEL home page is not being displayed, please refer to the troubleshooter .)
6. Add the current page as a bookmark in your browser for easy access in the future.
Finding the IP address of your iCOMPEL
To find out the IP address of the iCOMPEL, either consult the person who manages your network, or disconnect the
iCOMPEL from the power supply for a few seconds and reconnect it. After a few seconds the iCOMPEL displays its IP
address on the Screen.
