Accessing the EPAP GUI

EPAP employs a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) using the typical client-server paradigm. The front end appears on an Internet browser and the back end operates on the platform. For details about EPAP GUI setup and login, see Administration Guide. Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 11 is supported and certified for use with the EPAP Graphical User Interface (GUI). Other browsers may be partially compatible with the EPAP GUI. When using these browsers, this message may be displayed when logging in to the EPAP GUI:

CAUTION: The User Interface may not function correctly with the browser you are using.

Use the following procedure to access the main screen of the EPAP GUI interface.

  1. Type the IP address for your EPAP application into your browser URL field.

    The login screen shown in Figure 1 appears.
