# Accessing the Interface

This guide explains how to open the ENLYZE EDGE web interface on your Edge Device. You have two options, each with different requirements.

## Access Methods

**1. Direct Connection via the Service Port (eth2)**

1. Connect your laptop to the Edge Device’s Service Port using an Ethernet cable.
2. Open your browser and enter: `https://{{ IP of the Service Port }}`
3. By default, you can reach ENLYZE EDGE on the Service Port at [https://10.96.96.1](https://10.96.96.1/).

→ A detailed step-by-step guide can be found in the linked documentation.

**2. Indirect Access via the Company Network**

If your computer has a route to one of the Edge Device’s IP addresses, you can access the ENLYZE EDGE web interface more conveniently:

1. Open your browser.
2. Go to: `https://{{ IP of the Edge Device }}`
3. You can find the IP address in the ENLYZE APP under the Edge Device overview or in the IoT topology.

## Trusting ENLYZE EDGE

Your browser may display a security warning indicating an unsecure connection. This is expected and harmless, as ENLYZE EDGE uses a self-signed certificate to enable encrypted traffic even when offline. More information is available [here](https://github.com/enlyze/enlyze-docs/blob/main/en/connect/security/connection-warning.md).

Authentication is required to access ENLYZE EDGE:

* **Username**: `admin`
  * The username is fixed and cannot be changed.
* **Password**:
  * The initial password is the hostname of the Edge Device. You’ll find the hostname on the login screen under the heading “Login.”
  * If you’ve already changed the password, use your new one to log in.
