Connecting to the Web Interface

To connect to the StreamHub interface:

1. Make sure that the StreamHub server is turned on.
2. Open a web browser on any computer connected to the Internet. We recommend using Google Chrome™ or Firefox.
3. In the address bar, enter "http://" or "https://" followed by the public IP address for StreamHub.
   • When accessing the StreamHub using http, append ":8888" to the URL to specify that port 8888 should be used instead of the regular HTTP port (80). For instance, if your public IP address is 109.190.1.25, enter "http://109.190.1.25:8888".
   • When accessing the StreamHub using HTTPS, the default port (443) is used, so you won't need to specify it in the URL. 
     Please note that accessing the user interface with the default certificate using HTTPS implies bypassing security settings in the browser.

   • If the StreamHub server is connected to the same local network as the computer you are using, you can use the local IP address of the StreamHub.

     

     Note

     Please see the Installation & Configuration Guide for information about getting the StreamHub IP address.

4. Sign in to the web interface.

Note

When opening the application for the first time, you are asked to:

1. Add the license you received.
2. Log in with the default admin credentials (username = admin / Password = password)
3. Change the default admin password to be authorized to continue.

Important

• In the event that a user entered a wrong login or password too many times, the account to the web interface is locked. However, it does not log out the Administrator and user(s) who are already logged in. To be able to log in to the web interface again, see the procedure to Unlocking Accounts.
• In case the administrator account is closed when the user account has been locked, you should turn off and on the server. Once the server has restarted, the administrator can log in and unlock accounts (see Unlocking Accounts).
