- After this step the Virtual Machine should start and be ready to configure the Subdomain on https://webconnect.local with a device connected in the same network as the Sygnology system. (Keep in mind you need to wait 10 min to let the system update before set up the license)
Next comes the first setup step
Enter your subdomain name and key and press Configure. During the configuration you will see the following screen:
In the next step the device will configure itself, please wait until the browser redirects you to the login. It can take several minutes.
First log in:
Your admin credentials are
User: admin
Pssword: password
After this step you will be asked for a new password, please set a new secure password for the admin user (keep in mind your user credentials will be stored on your WebConector and we can not reset them if lost, set up a second admin user for backup in case this happens)
This completes the setup and you can make your individual configurations and work with WebConnect.
