Getting Started
To configure the Antcas Server for the first time, you must first establish a network connection and then perform the initial login. The following sections explain how to access the server, which default settings apply, and how to log in for the first time.
Network Access
When starting up the Antcas Server for the first time, it is recommended to connect your computer directly via Ethernet to the eth1-Port of the server. A crossover cable is not required for this purpose. Alternatively, the server can also be integrated into the existing network infrastructure via the eth0-Port.
If the server has not yet been configured, the following default settings apply: The eth0-Port obtains its IP address as a DHCP-Client from the network. The eth1-Port uses the static address 192.168.255.100/24 and provides a DHCP-Server for direct connection, which simplifies the IP configuration of the connected computer. The lease duration of the DHCP server is limited to 60 seconds for security reasons. The remaining Ethernet ports are not configured.
- DHCP-Client at eth0
- 192.168.255.100/24 at eth1 (with DHCP-Server)
Tip: For more information on the connection assignment, see the chapter Hardware.
There are various ways to find the server. If an internet connection is available, the server can be found via https://find.antcas.com/. Alternatively, the Windows tool Antcas Searcher is available, which searches via local broadcast. For this purpose, the computer should be connected directly to the network via LAN cable.
Start Configuration
The server configuration is performed via a web browser using HTTPS. This is done via the separate TCP port 10'000. The visualization is called via another port. At eth1, for example, the complete URL is:
https://192.168.255.100:10000/
Important: Note the compatible web browsers.
If no password has been set yet, log in for the first time with the username Administrator and the password AntcasAdmin.
