Get started

Starting the WebUI for the first time, including device authentication and license entitlement.

Before using the WebUI, you need the assigned IP address of the Base Station (see Network).
If the Base Station IP is used via LinkDesk at the same time, the control buttons in the WebUI are deactivated. In this case, the user can monitor, but can no longer intervene actively.
To start the self-hosted WebUI for Spectera WebUI:
  1. Depending on the firmware version of your Base Station, enter the following URL into your browser:

    • Firmware 0.8.x: https://deviceIP/specteracontrol/index.html

    • Firmware ≥1.0.0: https://deviceIP/specterawebui/index.html
    A prompt screen is displayed.
    When authenticating the Base Station for the first time, you will be asked to create a new password for the device.
  2. If you are logging in for the first time, enter a new device password. If you have already logged in, enter the password you have already assigned for authentication.
    Please note that the new password must meet the following requirements:
    • At least ten characters
    • At least one lowercase letter
    • At least one uppercase letter
    • At least one number
    • At least one special character: !#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~
    • Maximum length: 64 characters
    If you have forgotten the password, you can manually reset the device to the factory settings (see Reset).
  3. Click on Submit to set the password or to continue.
    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.
  4. Depending on your browser, click on Advanced and then on:
    • Continue to localhost (unsafe) (Microsoft Edge)
    • Proceed to localhost (unsafe) (Google Chrome)
    • Accept the Risk and Continue (Firefox)
    • or similar (other browsers).
The WebUI has been started.
