Accessing the EdgeOS Configuration Interface
The EdgeOS® configuration interface can be accessed via DHCP or static IP
address assignment. By default, is set up as a DHCP
client.
To check the IP address of the EdgeRouter, use one of the following methods:
Set up the DHCP server to provide a specific IP address to the EdgeRouter
based on its MAC address (on the label). Let the EdgeRouter obtain an IP
address and then check the DHCP server to see which IP address was assigned.
Launch your web browser. Enter the appropriate IP address in the address
field. 
The EdgeOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeOS User Guide, which is available at ui.com/download/edgemax
Static IP Address
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to the port
labeled eth0 on the EdgeRouter.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on
the the192.168.1.x subnet.
The EdgeOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For more information, refer to the EdgeOS User Guide, which is available at ui.com/download/edgemax
