Log in to a Cloud Connector for the first time

To initially access the Cloud Connector's local UI, connect to it using either a wired or wireless interface. Both methods in this procedure will start you on the login screen.

Procedure
  1. Unpack the Cloud Connector from packaging, connect the power cord, and plug it into a power source.
  2. Attach the appropriate interface cables to each interface port that you plan to configure on the Cloud Connector and to the appropriate equipment for the local network.
  3. If you're using Ethernet, perform the following steps:
    1. Confirm your computer's Ethernet interface will get its IP addressing by DHCP.
    2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the Cloud Connector's LAN1 or LAN2 port. Do not plug anything else into the Cloud Connector at this point.
    3. Open a web browser and enter the following IP address and port in your browser's address bar: https://192.168.0.1:8440.
      The Cloud Connector's local UI uses a self-signed, locally generated certificate for HTTPS. The browser (Chrome) shows a full-page warning: "Your connection is not private" (error: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID or similar). Details: Certificate issuer is "self-signed" or unknown authority; no valid chain to trusted CA." To proceed in Chrome: Click Advanced (blue link at bottom). Click Proceed to [IP:8440] (unsafe) (gray link).
    4. Click on Settings, and when prompted, enter the initial username (user) and password (Welcome), and click Sign in.
  4. If you're using Wi-Fi, perform the following steps. Open a web browser on a computer or mobile device to access the Cloud Connector local UI through one of the following sources:
    1. Connect your computer's Wi-Fi interface to the Cloud Connector's default SSID (Oracle-ECP-xxxx) with default password (mypass1234). <nnnn> is the last four digits of the Cloud Connector's serial number
    2. Open a web browser and enter the following IP address and port in your browser's address bar: https://192.168.0.1:8440.
      The Cloud Connector's local UI uses a self-signed, locally generated certificate for HTTPS. The browser (Chrome) shows a full-page warning: "Your connection is not private" (error: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID or similar). Details: Certificate issuer is "self-signed" or unknown authority; no valid chain to trusted CA." To proceed in Chrome: Click Advanced (blue link at bottom). Click Proceed to [IP:8440] (unsafe) (gray link).
    3. Click on Settings, and when prompted, enter the initial username (user) and password (Welcome), and click Sign in.
  5. You can now proceed to Activate the Cloud Connector.
Troubleshooting
  • If your browser is unresponsive when trying to access https://192.168.0.1:8440, try entering https://172.16.135.1:8440 instead.
