Click the Omada icon, then “Launch a Browser to Manage the Network”, the controller page will be opened automatically.
- If there is no Omada icon on the taskbar, it is most likely that the controller is not running, please double-click the icon on the Desktop or Start menu to launch it. Normally, the controller page will be opened once the initialization is finished.
- If you find “Initialization failed” like below, you may click X in the upper right corner to exit the controller; wait for 1 minute, then run it again.
- If “Initialization failed” error is still, you may open a browser, and input “localhost:8088” or “localhost:8043” to the address bar. If the controller page is not available with both of these two addresses, please restart Windows and try to run the controller again.
- Hardware Controller
Open the browser, input the IP address of your hardware controller, then you will be able to visit the controller page.
