Once you have your network up and running with the network configuration tool, you can configure all other ClarkConnect features from the web browser of any desktop or laptop computer.

To access the ClarkConnect web-based administration tool, type the following into your web browser:

https://IP_Address:81

for example:

https://192.168.1.1:81

The IP address that you need to use was selected during installation. If you do not remember this information, you can always connect a keyboard and monitor to the system and check the network configuration tool.

You will see a warning about your security certificate (see adjacent screenshot). Click on the appropriate button to ignore the message. Your connection is still secure and encrypted, but your server certificate is not official. A valid certificate costs over $100 a year to maintain and is not necessary in this situation.

You will then see a login prompt (see adjacent screenshot). Login with the username root and your system password.

Please note the following about the web-based administration tool:

• it uses the encrypted protocol (https instead of http)
• it runs on a non-standard port (the :81 appended to the web page address) so that it does not interfere with an existing web server

Every configuration page in the web-based administration tool includes a web link to the user guide. If you ever need more information on a particular page, simply click on the link (see screenshot below).

After logging in, registering your system should be your first task.
