To claim your Base Station:

- Firmware 0.8.x: https://deviceIP/specteracontrol/index.html
- Firmware ≥1.0.0: https://deviceIP/specterawebui/index.html
  
  Since the certificate is unknown to your browser, a security warning is displayed the first time you run the application. The security warning depends on the browser you are using.
Depending on your browser, click on Advanced and then on:

- If the device was previously claimed by another Sennheiser LinkDesk or Spectera WebUI instance, the previously set password must be entered:
  
  If you cannot remember the previously set password, please perform a factory reset of the device. After the reset, the default password for Spectera will be automatically applied by the software.
Set a new device password (if you are logging in for the first time) or enter the password you have already assigned for authentication (if you have already logged in).
Click on Submit.
