Using the Console UI with Haivision Hardware

The Console UI provides a non-Web interface to perform basic system administration tasks and network tests on your hardware devices. Each device comes pre-configured with login credentials and various settings including Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS settings. Refer to your Important Notice document for the default factory settings and credentials.

Note

To connect to the Console UI directly, ensure a keyboard and monitor are connected to the device (see your Quick Start Guide). You can also access the Console UI remotely using a secure shell (SSH) connection.
