DW Spectrum User Manual
Digital Watchdog
DW Spectrum provides a powerful mechanism that can auto-discover Enterprise Controllers in local
network. The easiest way to connect to EC is to use one of the auto-discovered EC.
To use predefined connections, click on the drop-down list. By default ,*Last Used Connection* is
recommended:
Note: the computer EC is installed on may have several network interfaces. In this case, any available
is displayed on the Auto-Discovered ECs list.
Connection details can also be inputted manually. The following values must be entered:
Host – IP Address or name of the computer EC is installed on (localhost or 127.0.0.1 for All-in-One
installation).
Port – IP Port for access to EC (7001 by default).
Login and Password to connect to EC. If connecting for the first time, "admin" should be used as a
login name. Use the same password that was set up during the initial installation.
To check connectivity to EC, press Test. If ok, access is granted. The following may cause connection
errors:
EC is not available:
specified IP Address is incorrect or inaccessible
specified port is incorrect
EC is stopped
login and/or password are incorrect
EC and Client are incompatible with each other (different versions)
To save login details, select the Auto-Login option on the bottom. When Client is launched again, it will
connect to the EC automatically through the pre-established login and password combination.
