To sign in to the Switch Web Portal
- Open a browser. Google Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox are supported.
-
Enter the IP address or the hostname of the computer running the Switch Server
followed by ":" and the port number for the Switch Web Portal (as set in the
Switch
Preferences (Web Services category)). The default port number is
51089.
For example:
A login screen appears. The first time you'll see a banner stating that cookies on the site are used to enhance the user experience. - In the banner, click Accept to allow Switch to save your preferences. If you accept cookies, your preferences are saved by the browser. As a consequence, you don't have to set your preferences next time you sign in; they are remembered. If you click Do not use cookies, you can continue to work, but you will have to set your preferences again next time you log in.
- Enter your user name and password and click Sign in. The Switch Server must be running, otherwise you will not be able to sign in. The Switch Web Portal main screen appears. What you can see and do, depends on your permissions (as configured by the Switch administrator through the Users pane).
