4.2. Web Interface and Wizard Setup
This chapter describes the setup when accessing cOS Core for the first time through a web
browser. The user interface accessed in this way is called the Web Interface. It assumes that a
physical network connection has been set up from a management computer to the default
management Ethernet interface as described in Section 4.1, “Management Workstation
Connection”.
Note: Some screenshot images have been clipped
Many of the images in this section are cut from original screenshots to condense the
information presented. However, all relevant details in the images have been preserved.
Connect By Browsing to https://192.168.1.1
Using a web browser, enter the address https://192.168.1.1 into the navigation window as shown
below.
Important: Disable any proxy server and turn off popup blocking
Make sure the web browser doesn't have a proxy server configured.
The wizard runs in a browser popup window. The popup must be allowed for the setup
wizard to run.
If there is no response from cOS Core and the reason is not clear, refer to the help checklist in
Section 4.6, “Setup Troubleshooting ”.
The cOS Core Self-signed Certificate
When responding to an https:// request, by default cOS Core sends a self-signed certificate which
will not be initially recognized so it will be necessary to tell the browser to accept the certificate
for this and future sessions.
Different browsers handle this self-signed certificate in slightly different ways. In Microsoft
Internet Explorer the following error message will be displayed in the browser window.
To continue, tell IE to accept the certificate by clicking the following link which appears near the
bottom of the browser window.
In Firefox, this procedure is called "Add a security exception".
