Starting the software

In order to work with the software you need to start the service and to open the web browser ui.

To start the service:
  1. In the Windows® tray right-click the icon of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit.
  2. Select Start service.
    The Sennheiser Control Cockpit service starts. All supported Sennheiser devices in the same network range can be controlled via the web browser UI of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit.
    The service is also started automatically when the host PC boots.
If you want to stop the service:
  1. Right-click the icon of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit and select Stop running service.
    The service has been stopped.
To open the web browser ui:
Since the Control Cockpit user interface is protected by SSL encryption by default, you may see a security message in your browser when you first start it. This occurs because the certificate used for the encrypted connection is self-signed and created locally on your computer. The web browser is not able to verify the certificate authority. Follow the steps described in the chapter Security information.
  1. In case of a host PC double-click the icon of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit in the Windows® tray. Alternatively, right-click on the icon of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit in the Windows Tray and select Open Cockpit. The Sennheiser Control Cockpit will be opened in the standard browser.
  2. In case of a client, identify the IP address of the host PC. Enter the IP address in the client's browser according to the following scheme: https://ip-adress.
    If you configured a different port during installation (see Downloading and installing the software), please enter this port.
You have successfully started the software service.

Example:

The IP address of the host PC is 192.168.69.36.

Enter the following in the browser of the client: https://192.168.69.36.

The Sennheiser Control Cockpit Web Browser UI will open.
